[論文募集] ブロックチェーンのSpecial Issues in Sensors and PPNA
by Yang Cao 20 Mar '20

20 Mar '20

日本データベース学会の皆様京都大学の曹です。お世話になっております。 2つブロックチェーンに関するSpecial IssuesのCFPを送りいたします。 *Sensors*: Special Issue "Emerging Blockchain Technology Solutions for Real-world Applications (EBTSRA)" https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/special_issues/EBTSRA *Peer-to-Peer Networking and Applications (PPNA)*: Special Issue on Blockchain for Peer-to-Peer Computing https://www.springer.com/journal/12083/updates/17751820 論文提出の〆切は2020年10月末です。投稿をご検討をよろしくお願いいたします。曹洋 ---------------------- Call for Papers 1: *Sensors*: Special Issue "Emerging Blockchain Technology Solutions for Real-world Applications (EBTSRA)" https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/special_issues/EBTSRA Deadline for manuscript submissions: 31 October 2020. This Special Issue comprises papers presented at the 2020 IEEE 91st Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2020-Spring) Workshop on Emerging Blockchain Technology Solutions for Real-World Applications (EBTSRA), held 25–28 May 2020 in Antwerp, Belgium. This semi-annual flagship conference of the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society will bring together individuals from academia, government, and industry to discuss and exchange ideas in the fields of wireless, mobile, and vehicular technology. *This Special Issue is also open to other submissions. * A blockchain is a secured, shared, and distributed ledger that facilitates the process of recording and tracking resources without the need of a centralized trusted authority. The technology is scalable and robust, and all participant nodes provide resources fairly, which alleviates many-to-one traffic flow bottlenecks. This technique decreases traffic delays and defeats errors due to a single point of failure. However, blockchain is still a nascent technology and as such there are challenges for the wide adoption of blockchain as a new enterprise and operational layer. These challenges are around scalability, interoperability, standards, privacy, security, governance, and consensus mechanisms, which need to be defined and validated for real-world applications. This workshop opens a forum to present the recent research work related to blockchain-based technologies (e.g. smart contracts, threat and attack models, and incentive mechanisms). Moreover, research on other aspects inherently present in blockchain-based applications, like the internet of things, smart grids, e-health, logistics, etc. are also invited in this workshop. This Special Issue seeks original unpublished papers focusing on theoretical analysis, emerging applications, novel system architecture construction and design, experimental studies, and social impacts of blockchain. Both review/survey papers and technical papers are encouraged. Topic areas include, but are not limited to, the following: Blockchain in 5G technologies; Blockchain in IoT; Blockchain in information-centric networking; Blockchain in smart grids; Blockchain in artificial intelligence; Blockchain in networking and edge/fog/cloud technologies; Blockchain in e-health; Blockchain in decentralized financing and payments; Blockchain in social networking; Blockchain in agriculture; Blockchain in autonomous vehicles; Blockchain in mobile cellular networks; Blockchain standardization; Blockchain tools, simulators and test-bed; Private blockchain systems; Decentralized storage in blockchain; Security, privacy, and trust of blockchain and distributed ledger technologies; Secure smart contracts; Consensus mechanisms. We are proud to announce our agreement with MDPI to publish a Special Issue on Emerging Blockchain Technology Solutions for Real-World Applications (EBTSRA) and cordially invite all researchers to publish a full paper in this Special Issue of the journal Sensors (ISSN1424-8220; *Impact Factor 3.031*; https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors) published online by MDPI, Switzerland. According to the publishing rules regarding the extended version of conference papers, 1) Title and Abstract should be substantially different with that of conference paper so that they can be differentiated in various databases; 2) 50% new data should be added to make it a real and complete journal paper; 3) The conference proceedings should be mentioned and discussed in the Introduction section; 4) Conference proceedings should be submitted together as supplementary information.

For over 30 years, DBPL has established itself as the principal venue for publishing and discussing new ideas at the intersection of broadly understood databases and programming languages. Many key contributions in query languages for object-oriented data, persistent databases, nested relational data, and semistructured data, as well as fundamental ideas in types for query languages, were first announced at DBPL. Today, this creative research area is broadening into a subfield of data-centric computation, currently scattered among a range of venues. DBPL is an established destination for such new ideas and solicits submissions from researchers in databases, programming languages or any other community interested in the design, implementation or foundations of data-centric computation. Suggested, but not exclusive, topics of interest for submissions include: * Language-Integrated Query Mechanisms * Emerging and Nontraditional Data Models * Compiling Query Languages to Modern Hardware * Data-Centric Programming Abstractions, Comprehensions, Monads * Data Integration, Exchange, and Interoperability * Data Synchronization and Bidirectional Transformations * Declarative Data Centers (e.g., distributed query processing, serverless computing platforms, social computing platforms, etc) * Language-Based Security in Data Management * Managing Uncertain and Imprecise Information * Metaprogramming and Heterogeneous Staged Computation * Programming Language Support for Data-Centric Programming (e.g., databases, web programming, machine learning, etc) * Query Compilation and In-memory Databases * Query Language Design and Implementation * Query Transformation and Optimization * Schema Mapping and Metadata Management * Semantics and Verification of Database Systems * Stream Data Processing and Query Languages * Type and Effect Systems for Data-Centric Programming Submissions We invite submissions in two categories: full and short papers. Submissions in either category must be written in English and submitted, by the submission deadline, as PDF files formatted according to the EPTCS style. See http://info.eptcs.org/. *Full papers* are expected to present original research or development. They should be no more than 12 pages long, excluding references. Each submission should begin with a succinct statement of the problem and the summary of main results. Authors may provide more details to substantiate claims of the paper by including a clearly marked appendix at the end of the submission, which is not included in the page limit and is read at the discretion of the committee. *Short papers* of at most 6 pages may describe work in progress, demos, research challenges or visions. Accepted short papers may be excluded from the formal proceedings at authors' request. Submissions must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Work that already appeared in unpublished or informally published workshops proceedings may be submitted. Submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dbpl2020 Review is single-blind, so authors do not need to anonymize their submissions. PC submissions are allowed, except for the co-chairs. Important Dates Submission deadline: May 4, 2020 (Anywhere on Earth) Author notification: June 28, 2020 Final version due: July 26, 2020 Symposium: September 4, 2020 Organizers Yasunori Ishihara (Nanzan University, Japan) Oleg Kiselyov (Tohoku University, Japan) Program Committee Alexander Alexandrov (VMWare, USA) Aggelos Biboudis (EPFL, Switzerland) George H.
