Concurrency And Computation: Practice And Experience (Wiley)
Special Issue On "Dlts, Blockchains And Cryptocurrencies For Distributed 
Systems"

Submission Deadline: November 30, 2020

http://www.cryblock.org/

====================================================================

THEME:

The Internet is evolving into a new multi-factor paradigm based around 
smart systems, Internet of Things, new distributed data structures (e.g. 
blockchains and distributed ledgers in general) and digital assets (e.g. 
cryptocurrencies). In the next few years, these technologies will 
converge and interact, fostering novel services, business models and 
applications. Indeed, the blockchain, and all the novel Distributed 
Ledger Technologies (DLTs) in general, can provide an automated and 
secure transaction infrastructure for next generation Internet of Things 
(IoT), mobile and smart systems while the voluntary user participation 
to the mining of cryptocurrencies could permit the development of new 
distributed services (i.e. offering an alternative to the 
advertisement-based revenue system used by most of the “free services” 
that are currently available). This special issue seeks to explore 
recent trends and new challenges posed by the novel techniques, 
methodologies and applications that are based on Distributed Ledger 
Technologies (DLTs) and blockchain infrastructures. The goal is to 
promote discussion on theory, progresses, development, deployment and on 
the practical usage of cryptocurrencies, blockchain technologies, smart 
contracts, DLTs, etc. We are interested both in innovative works in an 
unexplored and/or emerging topic in the broad area of distributed 
systems (e.g., mobile systems, devices and applications, vehicular and 
robotic systems, IoT), and in novel findings and/or new insights that 
build on existing works.

The specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

- All kind of blockchain based distributed systems
- Distributed (smart) systems relying on cryptocurrencies and smart 
contracts
- DLTs and the Internet of Things (IoT)
- Blockchain and mobile systems
- Blockchain and DLT based mobile ad-hoc networks
- Blockchain and DLT based intelligent vehicular coordination
- Vehicular services based on cryptocurrencies and blockchain
- Blockchain solutions for automotive
- Use of blockchain to support mobile smart services and applications
- Blockchain in crowdsourcing and crowdsensing
- Blockchain in 5G
- Blockchain in edge and cloud computing
- Use of blockchain and DLTs in Smart Cities
- Blockchain schemes for decentralization
- Blockchain-inspired or alternative byzantine fault tolerance
- Performance optimization of blockchain and decentralized schemes
- Use of blockchain in healthcare applications
- Blockchains’ energy consumption issues
- Security related issues in cryptocurrencies and blockchain
- Simulation of blockchains
- Use of blockchain in distributed simulation
- Use of cryptocurrencies in public volunteer computing
- Cryptocurrencies and blockchain usage in online gaming architectures 
and digital virtual environments
- Multi-Agent Systems for modelling the usage of cryptocurrencies
- Decentralized (mobile) processing, computing, and storage infrastructure
- Testing mechanisms to increase interoperability, robustness, 
stability, and confidence in blockchain (mobile) systems
