Introduction of ICBC
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 first International Conference on Blockchain (ICBC 2018) was created in 2018 to promote research and application innovations around the world in the field of blockchain. Part of the SCF 2018, ICBC 2018 was successfully held on June 25 - June 30, 2018, Seattle, USA. Part of the SCF 2019, ICBC 2019 was successfully held on June 25 - 30, 2019, San Diego, USA. Part of the SCF 2020, ICBC 2020 and ICBC 2021 was successfully held over the Internet. ICBC 2022 was successfully held on December 10 - 14, 2022, Hawaii, USA. ICBC 2023 was successfully held on September 23 - 26, 2023, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. In 2024, we will celebrate our 2024 version of gathering, to strive to advance the largest international professional forum on blockchain services.
ICBC 2024 is a member of Services Conference Federation (SCF). SCF 2024 will have the following 10 collocated service-oriented sister conferences: 2024 International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2024), 2024 International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD 2024), 2024 International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2024), 2024 International Conference on Big Data (BigData 2024), 2024 International Conference on AI & Mobile Services (AIMS 2024), and 2024 International Conference on Metaverse (METAVERSE 2024), 2024 International Conference on Internet of Things (ICIOT 2024), 2024 International conference on Cognitive Computing (ICCC 2024), 2024 International Conference on Edge Computing (EDGE 2024), and 2024 International Conference on Blockchain (ICBC 2024).
As the founding member of the Services Conference Federation (SCF), the first International Conference on Web Services (ICWS) was held in June 2003 in Las Vegas, USA. Meanwhile, the First International Conference on Web Services - Europe 2003 (ICWS-Europe 2003) was held in Germany in October 2003. ICWS-Europe'03 is an extended event of the 2003 International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2003) in Europe. In 2004, ICWS-Europe was changed to the European Conference on Web Services (ECOWS), which was held at Erfurt, Germany.
