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. <br>
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. <span> </span>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: <span></span></span></p>
