Main activities
IEEE Blockchain Taipei Group helps to develop the Blockchain activity of Taiwan and promotes it globally. One of good activity the First International Symposium on Future Information, Communication and Blockchain Technology (Future ICBT 2023) will be to hold at Asia University, Taiwan. Its conference website is shown in https://sites.google.com/view/future-icbt-2023 as well as https://easychair.org/cfp/FutureICBT-2023 and Its submission link is also shown in https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=futureicbt2023. This conference is organized by Asia University, wherein one of cofounder of IEEE Blockchain Taipei Group, Dr. Hsing-Chung Chen (IEEE Senior Member, 90629351) is a Distinguished Full Professor (Asia University, Taiwan) and he is a general chair of this conference. The conversion may be quicker than establishing from the scratch. We will survey the regulation of IEEE conference format so that the conversion will be as smoothly proceeded as possible. Also, IEEE Taipei Blockchain Group is interested in attracting an international conference of Blockchain from oversea. For example, VLSI symposium is held in Japan and US alternatively. Such a circuitry international conference of Blockchain may be helpful to loop international colleagues of Blockchain. IEEE Taipei Blockchain Group will contribute to such an international collaboration on the platform of IEEE conference. Furthermore, IEEE Taipei Blockchain Group will hold tutorial and workshop in Taiwan to widely introduce Blockchain technologies and ecosystem to Taiwan’s academism and Industry. It is well-known that Taiwan is a semiconductor Island and plays an international central role of IC products supply chain. The networked IC products is indeed the Internet-of-things. Because connected things must mount an IC chip inside to connect to the internet with no exception. As the number of connected things increases, as the geographical distribution of connected things widens, it becomes difficult to control and handle connected things to provide a designed service. Here, we believe that, thanks to smart contract and toughness to falsification, Blockchain has limitless opportunities to develop an emerging ecosystem atop the IoT platform. The value of Blockchain in Taiwan is to develop and dig up opportunities to combine Blockchain technologies and ecosystems to IC products. Moreover, IEEE Taipei Blockchain Group will hold lectures and seminars to educate IC engineers and students so that they can be familiar with Blockchain technologies and ecosystems. A periodical meet-up event is also helpful to make networking between young, senior, Taiwanese, foreigner, academic and engineering persons who are interested in Blockchain even a little. We believe that these activities are helpful to supply diverse human resources regarding Blockchain from Taiwan. IEEE Taipei Blockchain Group will lead any kind of Blockchain activities in Taiwan and bridge it to the world.
