2021 Workshop on Blockchain Security, Application, and Performance |
Summary |
Recently blockchain has become the buzzword for disruptive innovation with great potential to change our economy, culture, and society. As a specific distributed database technology, blockchains are inherently resistant to modification of the data - once recorded, the data in a block cannot be altered retroactively. This prominent feature of blockchain is well known after the success of its early digital cryptocurrency applications known as Bitcoin. From security perspective, Blockchain is a Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) to create trust in an untrusting ecosystem. All nodes or members can record, pass along and view any transactional data that is encrypted onto their blockchain. Using cybersecurity frameworks, assurance services and best practices, we can reduce risks against attacks and fraud.
Nowadays more and more innovative applications are using blockchain to explore many new innovative digital financial applications and various decentralized applications that eliminate the need for 3rd party intermediaries, such as identity management, credit management, distrusted/public/shared ledger, crowd-funding, P2P insurance, smart contracts, supply chain management, online voting, medical records etc.
So far, blockchain is still in its infancy and many research issues remain unsolved regarding blockchain security, its applications as well as their performance. This may pose it to suffer various issues. The goal of this workshop is to promote community-wide discussion identifying the advanced applications, technologies and theories for blockchain. We seek submissions of papers that invent novel techniques, investigate new applications, introduce advanced methodologies on Fintech and blockchain systems.

Author Instructions
All papers need to be submitted electronically through the EasyChair website with PDF format. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Papers must be clearly presented in English, must not exceed 6 pages in IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Format , including tables, figures, references and appendices. The limit length of accepted papers should be 8 pages at most. Papers will be selected based on their originality, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation assessed by at least three reviewers. All submitted papers will be judged through double-blind reviews, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. As an author, you are required to preserve the anonymity of your submission, while at the same time allowing the reader to fully grasp the context of related past work, including your own. Papers that do not conform to our double-blind submission policies will be rejected without review.
Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the conference to present the work. IEEE Blockchain 2021 reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from the digital library and indexing services), if the paper is not presented at the conference. All accepted papers will be published in IEEE CPS proceedings (EI Indexed) and collected by IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
