Call for Papers

Topic and Scope of the Conference


Emerging blockchain related technologies will significantly transform transactions, currencies, system operations and management in the digital era. On one hand, blockchain will play a crucial role for secure decentralization in fields such as Internet of Things, cyber physical systems, cloud and edge computing, future Internet, security, fault tolerance, next generation wireless communications, etc. On the other hand, its advance should be further refined and optimized in terms of scalability, privacy, security, fault tolerance, availability and high dependability. In the meantime, arising new applications of blockchain will bring along new requirements, research issues and new challenges for research communities.

ICBTA2024 is soliciting original, previously unpublished and high quality research papers addressing research challenges and advances in the tracks mentioned below. The topics of the conference include, but are not limited to: 

►Theories of blockchain
►Smart contract, chain code, and distributed ledger
►Distributed consensus
