*_BCAT 2025 CFP:_*
A blockchain is a distributed ledger for recording transactions and/or data in a meaningful order, maintained by many connected nodes without a trusted central authority. Blockchain has a great potential to create new foundations for most distributed systems by efficiently establishing trust among nodes, especially in emerging networks. Such a fundamental technology to enable decentralization play an important role in a wide spectrum of topics such as Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), edge computing, cloud computing, fog, mobile computing, social networking, wireless communication, vehicular network, and even more other fields. At the same time, there is a lack of fundamental study on the limitation of blockchain such as scalability, security, privacy, efficiency, availability and dependability. Hence, the development and deployment of blockchain-based systems and applications will likely exhibit new requirements and complicated challenges, which brings more open issues and exciting directions for research communities. The aim of BCAT is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in cloud computing, distributed systems, cryptography, security, and networking, from academia and industry, who are interested in the applications and theory of blockchains and related protocols. Researchers are encouraged to submit original research contributions in all major areas, which include, but not limited to:
* Theories of blockchain and distributed ledger technology * Distributed data store for blockchain * Distributed transaction for blockchain * Blockchain in cloud computing * Blockchain in mobile and edge computing * Blockchain in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) * Blockchain and Financial Networks * Blockchain in vehicular network * Blockchain in the Internet of things (IoT) * Blockchain Systems for Cyber Security * Blockchain in Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) * Blockchain in social networking
*_Submissions Guidelines and Proceedings_*
Manuscripts should be prepared in 10-point font using the IEEE 8.5" x 11" two-column format. All papers should be in PDF format, and submitted electronically at Paper Submission Link. A full paper can be up to 6 pages (including all figures, tables and references). Submitted papers must present original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines may be rejected without review. Also submissions received after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be considered. Authors may contact the Program Chair for further information or clarification. All submissions are peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers. Accepted papers will appear in the ICSC Proceeding, and be published by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services and be submitted to IEEE Xplore for inclusion.
_Important Dates:_
* *Paper submission deadline: March 23rd 2025 (Firm and Final)* * Notification of acceptance: April 7th, 2025 * Camera-ready Submission: April 21st, 2025
