我與其他7位國際學(xué)者（Huawei Huang, Salil Kanhere, Lei Zhang, Jiawen Kang, Zehui Xiong, Bhaskar Krishnamachari, Elisa Bertino, Sichao Yang）從2021年下半年籌備、并于2022年上半年在期刊 IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC) 上舉辦了一期區(qū)塊鏈專刊，該專刊的題目為“Intelligent Blockchain for Future Communications and Networking: Technologies, Trends and Applications”。IEEE JSAC 為計(jì)算機(jī)網(wǎng)絡(luò)方向 CCF 推薦 A 類期刊。此次區(qū)塊鏈專刊在 JSAC 舉辦，旨在面向計(jì)算機(jī)網(wǎng)絡(luò)與區(qū)塊鏈領(lǐng)域的專家征集最新區(qū)塊鏈研究論文，并征集專家們對(duì)區(qū)塊鏈如何與通信/網(wǎng)絡(luò)計(jì)算進(jìn)行交叉融合的觀點(diǎn)。

經(jīng)過漫長的2輪嚴(yán)格審稿，本專刊最終接收了27篇高質(zhì)量論文。隨后，編委編寫了27篇被接收論文的 Guest Editorial（專刊的編者按），然后統(tǒng)計(jì)了被接收論文的作者分布的信息。現(xiàn)在將錄取的論文列表還有針對(duì)這些論文的統(tǒng)計(jì)結(jié)果公布出來，希望給區(qū)塊鏈領(lǐng)域的研究者帶來有用的參考信息。

首先是客座編委撰寫的 Guest Editorial，請(qǐng)點(diǎn)擊【此處】前往 ResearchGate 下載，或者到本文附件下載。該 Guest Editorial 主要是用來對(duì)所有收錄論文進(jìn)行分類并對(duì)每一篇論文的貢獻(xiàn)進(jìn)行解讀。編委們把此次27篇論文分為了四個(gè)類別：1. Blockchain and Federated Learning；2. Blockchain and IoT; 3. Blockchain Scalability Issues; 4. High-Performance Blockchains。每個(gè)類別下，也可以看到收錄的論文的題目。目前這些論文都已經(jīng) online publish。感興趣的讀者可以前往 https://ieeexplore.ieee.org 搜索下載論文原文。
