International Conference on Recent Trends in IoT and Blockchain (ICRTIB-2019)

October 19 – 20, 2019, Gunupur, India

Scope & Topics

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering, GIET University, Gunupur, is organizing the AICTE sponsored International Conference on Recent Trends in IoT and Blockchain (ICRTIB-2019) during 19th to 20th of October, 2019. The two-day international conference is set to provide a forum for researchers and industrialists to share recent research results on the convergence of Blockchain and IoT, ranging from overviews, proof-of-concepts case studies, to applications, e.g. smart home, smart cities, smart grid, e-health, logistics etc. Moreover, research on other aspects inherently present in Blockchain based systems, like smart contracts, threat and attack models, and incentive mechanisms are also invited in the conference. It will also provide a platform to students, scientists, faculty members and research professionals to interact, present and get reflections on their work.

Authors are solicited to contribute to the conference by submitting articles that illustrate research results, projects, surveying works and industrial experiences that describe significant advances in the areas of IoT and Blockchain. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
