Given the latest status of COVID-19, ICDCS'20 organization committee decides to convert the conference to the online format. It is unfortunate that we cannot meet in person in this Nov/Dec, but the health and safety of the conference attendees are our top priority. As the cost for running the virtual conference will decrease compared with the physical conference, we are working on the conference finance and will perform partial refunds to the existing registrations. Detailed information of the refunds and virtual conference will follow shortly.
Introduction
Blockchain has already shown its great success in serving as the fundamental technique behind many cryptocurrencies. Its promising capability of decentralized consensus also attracts a wide realm of real-world applications such as international banking, electronic voting, supply-chain management, media communications, and food safety traceability. Meanwhile, with the advancement of 4G/5G mobile communication techniques, more and more data are being generated by mobile phones, wireless sensors, and IoT devices. Mobile decentralized applications (DApps) usually involve many untrusted parties. How to use blockchain to build trust, reduce the operational cost, and accelerate mobile transactions brings many new open issues and challenges for both research communities and industry.
