Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Blockchain and distributed ledger technologies have established themselves well in diverse social and business areas. There are numerous applications of blockchain technology in value and supply chain, fintech, social systems, industry 4.0, IoT, open-source development, and many others. Blockchain technology is disrupting well-established business models. However, contemporary blockchain systems rely heavily on the server-side infrastructure and this limits some of the potential uses. The next technological frontier is the adoption of blockchain technology by the wider community of consumers and expanding business cases by utilizing mobile and portable devices. Mobile blockchain research needs to address many unresolved issues related to mobile connectivity, consensus, identity, and Sybil attacks; however, the penetration potential and impact that blockchain technology could have on mobile applications can be truly disrupting. Mobile and decentralized trust applications without the need for heavy server-side infrastructure are predicted to have a huge impact on the blockchain space in the upcoming years.
This Special Issue focuses on mobile blockchain technology and mobile applications that run on mobile and portable devices. We encourage researchers and practitioners that work in the mobile blockchain space to share their problems and solutions, as well as mobile and decentralized applications that utilize blockchain technology.
