Introduction Blockchain is a consensus-based distributed system, combined with technologies such as smart contracts, cryptography, hashing, Merkle tree, etc. Together, they build a new generation of transactional applications that establish trust, accountability, provenance, and transparency at their core, while streamlining business processes and legal constraints in a cross-organizational collaboration. It was conceptualized by a person - Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008 and its first practical implementation came in the form of Bitcoin - a cryptocurrency which revolutionized the financial system worldwide where business transactions are done in a peer-to-peer manner using a decentralized consensus mechanism without a trusted authority or central server. In recent years, scientists, engineers, and technology experts are exploring the application of blockchain technologies beyond cryptocurrencies in a wide spectrum of domains including next-generation Internet of Things (IoT), Supply Chain Management Systems, Cyber Physical Systems, Healthcare, Mobile computing, Vehicular network, Privacy preserving, and many other fields. Consequently, blockchain is emerging as a disruptive, and transformational technology, with great potential, benefits, and impact in private organizations and government services. At the same time, the blockchain technology is still in its infancy. There are still many issues that need to be addressed specifically in terms of scalability, security, privacy, efficiency, availability and dependability which bring complicated challenges and many open issues for the research community. The goal of this special section is to provide a cutting-edge venue for the scientific community to explore the latest ideas, models and innovative applications in blockchain technologies and services in order to improve the efficiency and transparency of private and public service provisions in a variety of domains. BlockchainSys2021 topics include, but are not limited to the following: Track 1: Blockchain Theories and Models – Security Model and Architecture – Security & Attack Surface – Security, Privacy and Trust Management – Distributed Consensus Protocols – Identity Management and Assent Tracking – Fault Tolerance Mechanism – Scalability and Optimization – Interoperability and Standardization – Benchmarking and Performance Analysis Strategies – Simulation and Performance Evaluation Track 2: Blockchain Technologies – Distributed Ledger Technologies – Token Economy and Cryptocurrency – Decentralized Applications and Infrastructures – Smart Contracts and Chaincode – Secure Smart Contracts and Chaincode – Trusted Execution of Smart Contracts – AI and Smart Contracts – Game Theory – Anonymity and Data Privacy – Zero Knowledge Proofs – Edge/Fog Computing Track 3: Blockchain Systems – Blockchain and IoT – Blockchain and Smart Home/City – Blockchain and Energy Systems – Blockchain and Healthcare – Blockchain and Industry 4.0 – Blockchain and Supply Chain Management – Blockchain and Crowdsourcing – Blockchain and Cloud Computing – Blockchain and Mobile Systems – Blockchain and Social Networking – Blockchain and Governance/Policy/Regulation – Blockchain and Cyber Physical Systems – Blockchain and Agriculture – Blockchain and Autonomous Vehicles – Blockchain and M2M Communication – Blockchain and 5G Networks Submission and Publication Information All papers need to be submitted electronically through the conference website (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=blockchainsys2021) with PDF format. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. A submission is limited to 8 pages for main conference regular papers, 6 pages for workshop papers or short papers in the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Format with Portable Document Format (.pdf). A submission can have at most 4 additional pages with the pages overlength charge if accepted. Papers must be clearly presented in English, including tables, figures, references and appendices. Papers will be selected based on their originality, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation assessed by at least three reviewers. Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and present the work, with either online or offline presentation. IEEE TrustCom 2021 reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from the digital library and indexing services), if the paper is not presented at the conference. Accepted and presented papers will be submitted in the IEEE for indexing. Distinguished papers presented at the conference, after further revision, will be published in special issues of high quality international journals. Two or three outstanding papers will be selected to receive the Best Paper Awards. Important Dates
