2019-11-12

The blockchain technology appears as a promising phenomenon in development with huge impacts on systems design in general and design management in particular. Rethink and reshape users’ interfaces are important issues for disintermediated social relations.

The purpose of this special issue, elaborated in collaboration with the UNESCO Chair ITEN, is to study the use of blockchain technology for social innovation, sustainable development and the preservation of Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This issue will also highlight research and contributions on the adaptation of digital interfaces to the specificities of the blockchain and new approaches in this field. Blockchain wallet to connect to blockchain ecosystems, the preponderance of smartcontracts and scanners for data stored on blockchains (Etherscan type) are several specificities of the blockchain compared to the classical web that can be studied in transdisciplinary research to facilitate general public adoption (especially for non-permissioned blockchains) by the general public.

The special edition on blockchain will be organized in three parts :

  • Editorial presentation in collaboration with UNESCO Chair ITEN
  • Peer reviewed papers
  • Blockchain stakeholders’ interview (researchers, entrepreneurs, institutional agents)
