https://www.cryptovalleyconference.com/

11th - 12th, June 2020, Rotkreuz, Switzerland

The emergence of Bitcoin and other blockchain-based system allow for entities to trade and interact without trusted third parties. This has led to exciting research in multiple academic disciplines and venues, as well as a vibrant startup rush.

The third CRYPTO VALLEY conference on Blockchain Technology, endorsed by IEEE, aims to unite interested scholars as well as industrial members from all relevant disciplines who study and work in the space of blockchain technology.

Suggested contribution topics include (but are not limited to) empirical and theoretical studies of:

- Attacks on anonymity and privacy
- Big Data and blockchain technology
- Case studies (e.g., of adoption, attacks, forks, scams, …)
- Censorship
- Consensus protocols for blockchains
- Cryptocurrency adoption and economic impacts
- Decentralized applications (Exchanges, Mining Pools, Trading Platforms)
- Blockchain technology for developing countries
- Economics and game theory for blockchains
- Forensics and monitoring
- Formal verification of protocols and smart contracts
- Fraud detection and financial crime prevention
- Governance
- Identity, identification and trust in blockchain systems
- Implications for existing business models
- Interfacing fiat and cryptocurrencies
- Intermediaries in different industries and their future
- Internet of things (IoT) and blockchain technology
- Legal, ethical and societal aspects of (decentralized) virtual currencies
- Measurement studies and methodology
- New applications of blockchain technology
- Off-chain channels and layer-2 scaling
- Peer-to-peer networks
- Permissioned (e.g. Hyperledger) vs. permissionless (e.g. Bitcoin) blockchains
- Privacy and anonymity-enhancing technologies
- Proof-of-X-based consensus
- Regulation and law enforcement
- Relation to other payment systems
- Scalability, sharding, and scalable services for blockchain systems
- Smart contract programming languages and tools
- Transaction graph analysis
- Usability and user studies

We invite the following submissions:

- Full research papers which represent significant and novel research contributions. Submissions must not overlap with works that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Submissions should follow the IEEE Conference Proceedings Format format and should not exceed 10 pages, excluding references and well-marked appendices. There is no limit on the length of the references and appendices. Accepted papers will appear in the IEEE proceedings published by IEEE. Authors who seek to submit their works to journals may opt-out by publishing an extended abstract only.
- Short research papers which may (for example) summarize works-in-progress or extensions to previous research papers. Short research papers must meet the above criteria, except must be 4 pages or less including references and appendices. The title should be of the form "Short Paper: ...".
- Systematization-of-Knowledge papers which present a systematization of the current literature on a specific topic. In line with the definition used by IEEE Security and Privacy, SoK papers must “provide an important new viewpoint on an established, major research area, support or challenge long-held beliefs in such an area with compelling evidence, or present a convincing, comprehensive new taxonomy of such an area. Survey papers without such insights are not appropriate.”. The title should be of the form "SoK: ...".

Submissions should be prepared in IEEE Conference Proceedings Format (Word Template / LaTex Template). All submissions will be reviewed double-blind, and as such should not contain author names, must be anonymous, no acknowledgments, affiliations, or obvious references. We expect that submitted papers may be available on public pre-print servers such as ePrint, arXiv.org or SSRN. We welcome such submissions.

Important dates:

- Paper submission deadline: April 3rd 2020 (4pm GMT+1)
- Author Notifications: May 8th 2020 (4pm GMT+1)
- Camera ready version deadline: May 22nd 2020 (4pm GMT+1)
