THE SIXTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON BLOCKCHAIN COMPUTING AND APPLICATIONS (BCCA 2024)

26–29 November 2024 – Dubai, UAE
****************************************************************************************
Blockchain is a revolutionary technology in decentralized systems that enables secure decentralized transaction processing while ensuring data privacy and authenticity. It is now playing a significant role in several areas such as the Internet of Things, supply-chain management, manufacturing, cyber-physical systems, healthcare systems, and much more. Unlike centralized transaction processing solutions, blockchain uses a distributed ledger mechanism to record data transactions on multiple devices, this will prevent data breaches, identity theft, and a plethora of cyber-related attacks, in essence, leading to sustainability in data privacy and security. This conference aims to attract the work of both researchers and practitioners in the area of cyber-security to share and exchange their experiences and research studies in both academia and industry in the field of blockchain.

Researchers are encouraged to submit original research contributions in all major areas, which include, but are not limited to:

Track 01: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
Track 02: IoT and Cyber-Physical Systems
