[Late Track (Rolling Review)] IEEE BCCA 2026: The 8th International Conference on Blockchain Computing and Applications, Barcelona, Spain [Extended Deadline]

*The 8th International Conference on Blockchain Computing and Applications
(BCCA 2026)*

16-20 November 2026 | Barcelona, Spain

*Hybrid Conference*

*Technically sponsored by IEEE Spain section*

Blockchain is a revolutionary technology in decentralized systems that
enables secure decentralized transaction processing while ensuring data
privacy and authenticity. It plays a significant role across several areas,
including the Internet of Things, supply chain management, manufacturing,
cyber-physical systems, and healthcare systems. Unlike centralized
transaction processing solutions, blockchain uses a distributed ledger to
record transactions across multiple devices; this prevents data breaches,
identity theft, and a range of cyber-related attacks, thereby enhancing
data privacy and security. This conference aims to attract the work of both
researchers and practitioners in cybersecurity to share and exchange
experiences and research in both academia and industry in the field of
blockchain.
