About ICBC 2020
From the invention of blockchain (BC) concepts in 2008, with the development of distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and so on, the blockchain technology has been paid more and more attentions by all countries. At present, the application of blockchain has been extended from the financial field to the Internet of Things, intelligent manufacturing, supply chain management, and many other fields. The blockchain is creating a new technological innovation and industrial change on a global scale. We indeed need creative thinking, long-term visions, and innovative methodologies to respond to such a change. The 2020 International Conference on Blockchain (ICBC 2020) is organized to promote research and application innovations around the world.

[4/8/2020] Important news.
ICBC 2020 will have to be rescheduled to meet the challenge of the world-wide corona virus emergency. As we are still facing lots of uncertainty for the upcoming months, the organizing committee has made the following tentative changes, in order to continue our tradition to serve the services computing community in the best possible way:
1. The onsite conference is delayed to August 12-14, 2020, in Honolulu, Hawaii. Conference hotel will have to be renegotiated and then be announced for those who can travel.
2. In the mean time, online conferences will be arranged for those who could not come to Hawaii for the onsite participation. We are assessing various ways to host online conferences with possible interactive Q&As at this time.
3. We are also considering the options for some regional on-site conferences.
4. With this delay, we postpone the deadline for submission to May 10, 2020.
