Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to explore the transformative potential of blockchain technology across diverse sectors. Blockchain, originally devised as the underlying technology for cryptocurrencies, has rapidly evolved into a powerful tool with applications far beyond digital finance. Its core attributes, such as decentralization, transparency, immutability, and security, are driving innovation and disruption in industries. This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research, case studies, and theoretical insights that examine how blockchain is revolutionizing traditional business models, enhancing operational efficiency, and enabling new forms of trustless collaboration. We invite contributions that address both the opportunities and challenges of blockchain adoption, including scalability, interoperability, and sustainability. Interdisciplinary approaches and empirical studies are especially encouraged, as are explorations of hybrid models combining blockchain with emerging technologies, such as AI, IoT, and edge computing. By gathering diverse perspectives and research contributions, this Special Issue seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the current state and future trajectory of blockchain technology in transforming industries. It serves as a platform for researchers and practitioners to engage with the ongoing digital revolution and contribute to shaping the next wave of industrial innovation.
Please note that submissions are expected to focus on Computer Science. Topics such as ‘Regulatory Challenges’, 'Industry Transformation', 'Financial Services', or 'Supply Chain Management' are appropriate only when examined from a Computer Science perspective.
