In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a new and significant technology in the computing paradigm. The market demand for smart devices is predicted to be worth trillions of pounds annually in the near future. Almost all businesses will use some type of technology to improve their financial operations. However, as critical applications of the IoT proliferate (e.g., smart healthcare, smart grids, smart cities, and intelligent finance), they face numerous security and privacy challenges.
Characterized by decentralization, data immutability, and secure data protection, blockchain offers opportunities to overcome the limitations mentioned above of the IoT. Despite the benefits of integrating blockchain with IoT, the fusion of blockchain and IoT poses several new challenges, including poor scalability, difficulties in identifying malicious behavior of blockchain, detecting vulnerable codes in smart contracts, and maintaining reliable blockchain systems for IoT systems. Therefore, designing and developing intelligent blockchain systems for IoT is necessary. The recent successes of AI in various application areas motivate the integration of AI with blockchain to overcome the challenges in blockchain for IoT.
In this special issue, we aim to collect state-of-the-art advances in realizing intelligent blockchain for IoT. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
• New concepts and architectures for intelligent Blockchain for IoT
• AI-enabled scalable Blockchain for IoT
• AI-enabled cloud/edge computing orchestration in Blockchain for IoT
• AI-enabled operation and maintenance of Blockchain systems for IoT
• Incentive mechanisms and game theory in Blockchain for IoT
• Communications, computing and storage issues in Blockchain-empowered IoT
• Intelligent detection of malicious smart contracts for IoT
• Big data analytics to identify malicious behaviors on Blockchain for IoT
• Security and privacy issues with solutions in intelligent Blockchain for IoT
• Intelligent blockchain-driven IoT applications
