WS-10: Workshop on Scalable, Secure and Intelligent Blockchain for Future Networking and Communications

Scope
Blockchain, as a distributed ledger technology, has drawn tremendous attention in various applications and fields in the past few years. The evolution of blockchain technologies has experienced a series of challenges including malicious behaviors occurred in blockchains, low throughput, and poor scalability, and etc. Various theories, frameworks, consensus models, and sophisticated mechanisms have been proposed to deal with the above problems of the blockchain but all suffer from limited performance. The recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI), however, have brought new opportunities in overcoming the challenges of blockchains, spawning a new direction named Intelligent Blockchain. However, aiming towards more scalable, secure, and intelligent blockchains, there is still a long way to go.
As we believe, the future networking and communications will closely fuse with the development of the 5th Generation (5G) and Beyond-5G technologies. Meanwhile, a series of technical issues are emerging in the era of future networking and communications, such as the privacy and security of user data, the supervision of malicious behaviors, the audition of user identities, resource allocation. Once the blockchain technology becomes more scalable, secure and intelligent in the near future, it will spark more blue-sky thinking, and innovative ideas that can improve the future networking and communications to another level with strong performance guarantee.
