Dear Colleagues,

We kindly invite you to submit your research paper to the "Strategic Implications of Blockchain, Bitcoin, and the Internet of Things (IoT)" mini-track under Strategic and Competitive Uses of Information Technology (SCUIT) Track of the 2018 AMCIS conference, which will take place on 16-18 August, 2018 in New Orleans, LA.

Mini-track description:

It is widely speculated that the Blockchain distributed data architecture will be important with wide ranging applications. The Blockchain structure takes advantage of cryptography, redundancy, and self-validation to create an amazingly robust, secure, and potentially anonymous distributed data structure. The security of the Blockchain structure has been proven in the extreme environment of cryptocurrency, where Blockchain is the basis of bitcoin. While Bitcoin has become a legitimate currency accepted in thousands of stores, its true test of data security is that it has been accepted in some of the least reputable transactions in the world. Bitcoin is sometimes called a "trustless" technology, not because it is trustworthy, but because it reduces or eliminates the need for parties to trust each other and the need for banks, governments, or other 3rd parties to verify data and transactions.

The ability to have absolute confidence in data and transactions without a centralized clearinghouse can radically affect accounting, auditing, risk management, information systems, banking, financial services, national sovereignty, currency markets, supply chains, marketing, privacy and may form the backbone for the much heralded "Internet of Things (IoT)." Many of future IoT applications will depend on the level of trust between devices and people. Papers in this mini-track would investigate the role of blockchain as an enabling technology for financial transactions, cryptocurrencies, and the proliferation of the Internet of Things.

The submission deadline is Feb 28, 2018 (CST).
