*Call for Papers.*

As a revolutionary technology, Blockchain provides practical solutions to
enable a secure and decentralized public ledger that has a plethora of
exciting new applications in several areas, such as Information Systems
(IS), Internet of Things (IoT), e-health, manufacturing, financial
services, supply chain and logistics, etc. Blockchain technology has
infiltrated all areas of information systems such as financial IS, health
IS, education IS and industrial IS. Cybersecurity is an industry that has
been significantly affected by this technology, and maybe more so in the
future with a decentralized information sharing platform. Blockchain
technology is defined as a decentralized system of distributed registers
that are used to record data transactions on multiple computers. The reason
this technology has gained popularity is that you can put any digital asset
or transaction in the blockchain, regardless of the application context.
Blockchain technology can be used to prevent data breach, identity theft,
cyber-attacks, intellectual property infringement or criminal acts in
transactions. This ensures that data remains private and secure. The main
goal of this special issue is to encourage both researchers and
practitioners to share and exchange their experiences and recent studies
between academia and industry in the field of Blockchain for information
systems management and security.

Researchers are encouraged to submit original research contributions in all
major areas of Blockchain-Information systems, which include, but not
limited to:



* State-of-the-art of the Blockchain technology and cybersecurity for
Information systems
