CFP: Special Track on BLOCKCHAIN AND DECENTRALIZED TECHNOLOGIES FOR
SOCIAL GOOD (BANDIT) in conjunction with
ACM International Conference on Information Technology for Social Good
(GoodIT 2022)
https://sites.google.com/view/bandit2022
7-9 September 2022, Limassol, Cyprus
Accepted papers will be included in the ACM Digital Library.
Special issues associated with the conference are being organized.
Selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version to those
journals.
## MOTIVATION AND RATIONALE
Social good has a big impact on society. Indeed, the term “social good”
is referred something which benefits the general public, and at the same
time, it is something that reflects and respects their wishes, being
‘from’ the people. The social good can be envisioned as global citizens
uniting to unlock the potential of individuals through collaboration to
create a positive societal impact. A lot of interest has been produced
in the last years, and new proposals and technologies have been
considered. Among them, Blockchain, distributed ledger technologies, and
decentralized technologies in general, such as IPFS, have been
considered in order to improve all the aspects of the social good.
Blockchain and decentralized technologies have been a big impact on the
world. In particular, the Blockchain technology has been applied to
several fields, such as e-health, IoT, media, etc. The big question
around the definition of this track is: “how the blockchain gives a big
impact on the social good? And how decentralization can improve the ICT
industries?”. The track manages the possible application of
decentralized technologies in research fields included in the global
scope of the social good.
while the revolutionary potential of blockchains has been largely tested
(in the financial domain in particular), its possible applications in
social domains and to address sustainability challenges have been
explored far less.
The aim of this special track is to explore and debate the main concepts
and implications of blockchain technology, how it can be a driver of
innovation, and its positive effects on our societies, industry, legal
systems, and economic/financial system. Also, the risks and
uncertainties that blockchain arrows are welcome to be debated in this
section.
This special track will provide both academic and industry researchers
with a forum to discuss the impact, future, and limitations of
blockchain technology regarding its effect across specific industries,
economic, finance, law, etc.
