ABOUT SDLT 2024:
----------------
The 8th SDLT will be held at the Australian Catholic University
(ACU) Brisbane on the 28th and 29th of November, 2024. Distributed
Ledger Technology is an emerging technology, which provides the
way to store and manage information in a distributed fashion. It
enables the creation of decentralized crypto-currencies, smart
contracts, eGovernance, supply chain management, eVoting etc over
a network of computer systems without any human intervention.
Unprecedented reliability and security over other cryptographic
schemes has expanded the application domains of blockchain including
financial services, real estate, stock exchange, identity management,
supply chain, and Internet of Things.

The goal of this symposium is to provide a forum for researchers,
business leaders and policy makers in this area to carefully analyse
current systems or propose new solutions creating a scientific
background for a solid development of innovative Distributed Ledger
Technology (DLT) applications.

A broad but non-exhaustive list of TOPICS OF INTEREST is as below:

        • Blockchain architectures, paradigms, & platforms
        • Consensus mechanisms, scalability and interoperability
          solutions in Blockchain
        • Deployment of DLT and Smart Contracts
        • Anonymity, privacy and security analysis of DLT solutions
        • Formal verification of Smart Contracts and Blockchain Protocols
        • Malicious transactions detection and recovery techniques
          in Blockchain
        • Applications in healthcare, finance, law, governance, fraud
          detection, crypto currencies etc.
        • Blockchain based business models
        • Blockchain based IoT security, identity, provenance and
          trust management solutions
        • Big data, AI and Blockchain technology
        • Blockchain based virtual economies
        • Blockchain integration in CBDC infrastructure
        • Blockchain based identity management in metaverse
        • Other industry applications and evaluations



SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
---------------------
Paper submission and all associated events must be done via EquinOCS. Authors
are advised to prepare their manuscripts in line with the Springer conference
format guidelines available here. SDLT 2024 will follow a double-blind
review process, therefore, authors must make a good-faith effort to anonymise
their submissions.

        • For the Academic Track submit a single-column paper within 15 pages
          excluding references and appendix.
        • For the Industry Track, submit a single-column full paper of up to
          12 pages or a short paper of up to 6 pages.
        • For the Industry Presentation, submit an abstract and a brief
          outline of the talk.

All accepted papers (except Industry Presentations) will be published in the
Springer Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) series.
