我与其他7位国际学者（Huawei Huang, Salil Kanhere, Lei Zhang, Jiawen Kang, Zehui Xiong, Bhaskar Krishnamachari, Elisa Bertino, Sichao Yang）从2021年下半年筹备、并于2022年上半年在期刊 IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC) 上举办了一期区块链专刊，该专刊的题目为“Intelligent Blockchain for Future Communications and Networking: Technologies, Trends and Applications”。IEEE JSAC 为计算机网络方向 CCF 推荐 A 类期刊。此次区块链专刊在 JSAC 举办，旨在面向计算机网络与区块链领域的专家征集最新区块链研究论文，并征集专家们对区块链如何与通信/网络计算进行交叉融合的观点。

经过漫长的2轮严格审稿，本专刊最终接收了27篇高质量论文。随后，编委编写了27篇被接收论文的 Guest Editorial（专刊的编者按），然后统计了被接收论文的作者分布的信息。现在将录取的论文列表还有针对这些论文的统计结果公布出来，希望给区块链领域的研究者带来有用的参考信息。

首先是客座编委撰写的 Guest Editorial，请点击【此处】前往 ResearchGate 下载，或者到本文附件下载。该 Guest Editorial 主要是用来对所有收录论文进行分类并对每一篇论文的贡献进行解读。编委们把此次27篇论文分为了四个类别：1. Blockchain and Federated Learning；2. Blockchain and IoT; 3. Blockchain Scalability Issues; 4. High-Performance Blockchains。每个类别下，也可以看到收录的论文的题目。目前这些论文都已经 online publish。感兴趣的读者可以前往 https://ieeexplore.ieee.org 搜索下载论文原文。
