IEEE ICBC 2019 is the first fully- financially sponsored conference on blockchains and cryptocurrencies by the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) and aims to be the top technical conference in the area of blockchain and cryptocurrency. ICBC 2019 will be the primary forum for technical exchange of the latest research results and innovations, regulations, policies, standards, and applications in this exciting and challenging area. The theme of ICBC 2019 is “Challenges and Opportunities of Blockchain and Cryptocurrency”. With this theme in mind, we have prepared an excellent program consisting of three keynotes from research, industry and application communities, plenary sessions with 30 full technical papers, 5 short papers, two research and industry panels and a distinguished experts panel. We will also have 9 demonstrations of research prototypes and exhibitions showcasing the latest solutions from vendors and telecommunications operators as well as 40 posters of ongoing work by researchers. In addition, we are offering five timely tutorials on important aspects of blockchains and cryptocurrencies. ICBC 2019 received 153 paper submissions from around the world. Each paper had at least three reviews by 163 reviewers from 38 countries. We have selected 30 full papers to be presented, which is 19.6% acceptance ratio. In order to be the top conference in this area, we are operating in a single track with this highly selective excellent papers. We have also prepared an excellent social program, including a Welcome Reception on Wednesday evening and a Banquet on Thursday with sumptuous and delicious Korean food. We will also have a performance by K-Pop stars during the Banquet. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to all the dedicated organizing committee members from around the world and to the technical program committee members for selecting an excellent technical program. We would also like to thank our conference patrons (SKT, Sovereign Wallet, CloudFlare, Dell, IOTA, CoinOne, ICON, Penta Security) for their financial sponsorship and the supporting organizations. We would also like to thank for the support of IEEE ComSoc for trusting us with the launch of this new and exciting conference. Special thanks go to ComSoc staff (Tina Gaerlan, Nancy Sun, and Bruce Worthman) for their professional support. Last but not the least. we would like to acknowledge Hongtaek Ju, Myung-sup Kim, Mi-Jung Choi, Youngjoon Won, Gayeon Kim, Eui-Jun Baek, Ji-Won Bang, Kyungchan Ko, and Meryam Essaid for their contributions to the conference local organization. Without all of their support, ICBC 2019 would not have been possible. Thank you all! Enjoy ICBC 2019 and Dynamic Korea!
