This conference promotes the approach to sustainability as ecosystem-inspired cooperation and collaboration to avoid silo-based closed competitive environments, silo-based operations, silo-based systems or platforms, communications, or siloed social territory. Extrinsic evidence shows that siloed approaches are hindering performance, productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness, and undermining sustainability. The ecosystem-inspired cooperation and collaboration is powered by advanced digital transformation to support collaboration between humans, systems, businesses, partners, data, and platforms.

Sustainability requires trust. Sustainability relies on trust. Trust between humans and technology, trust between governments and civilians, trust between health systems and medical providers, between financial institutions and regulators, trust between stakeholders, businesses, partners, alliances, systems, tools, governments, and technologies.

Blockchain is changing the world through trust including all domain industrial applications, digital governments, social economic communities, and finance sectors. Data, contracts, and transactions are the pillars of our wellbeing, social, economic and political systems and blockchain helps set the limits to centralized power systems for humanity.

Blockchain meets the needs of the digital ecosystem including our data, transactions, business, communication, and privacy, which can be safely stored using blockchain. Blockchains are impossible to be altered, deleted, hacked or manipulated. Their built-in nature of data security and identity verification, time stamps of chronological operations events and being governed by agreed action-based social decision making enable this. One of key features of Blockchain is the ability to work with any data lake, that can support data migration from legacy systems, data integration from heterogeneous data sources, and data analytics across centralized, distributed or hybrid ICT environment. It is one of the tools that help breaking the silos. This conference promotes this critical trust technology in any industry, government, and social-economic sustainable development. It will help build civilized digital ecosystem-based societies, communities, networked economies, and our future living environment. The digital ecosystem with openness, transparency, immutability, traceability, and accountability as well as being open-source low cost of adoption provides an accelerator for any sustainable transformation.

DEBEST conference is harnessing the agendas of trustworthy technology, ecosystem-based cooperation and collaboration, and sustainable development, making the contribution to the success of the 4th industrial revolution arena.

Theme 1: Digital Ecosystems

This theme focuses on cyber information engineering, and human space computing. It targets technology enablement of the digital ecosystem and ecosystem resources to support self-organization, self-balancing and self-recovery through interplay between humans and digital agents to create platforms, services and applications that sustain the digital ecosystems.

This theme invites submissions on:

  • Cyber information engineering and security
  • Human space computing, trust, privacy and risks
  • Digital twins modelling, simulations and applications
  • IoT, CPS, WOT, 5G, 6G, Cloud of Thing, Edge Design
  • Digital Ecosystem models, architectures and frameworks
  • Bio- and eco-logical inspired computing, digital ecology
  • Digital Ecosystem principles, methods and technologies
  • Digital humanity and human centric heritage records
  • Green energy production and adoption ecosystems
  • Digital health and healthcare ecosystems
  • Digital business ecosystems
  • Supply chain ecosystems
  • Education ecosystems

Theme 2: Blockchain Evolution and Its Revolution to Healthy Society from Better to Best

This theme focuses on blockchain evolution and its impact to global, decentralized, healthy human society, and a truly democratic social networks. Such evaluation can be represented by Nostr, a blockchain powered simple, open protocol that enables truly censorship-resistant and global value-for-value freedom of publishing on the web. The evolution will help humanity, once and for all, not rely on any trusted central server, and will provide to our world with real, transparency, traceability, and networked trust, from better to best.

This theme invites submissions on:

  • Nostr, Blockchain-enabled peer to peer architecture evolution and development
  • Blockchain enabled distributed social network vs Centralized Social Network
  • Blockchain powered siloed data and heterogenous data integration
  • Public and private blockchains integration and data lake systems
  • Blockchain powered traceability and transactions trust
  • Post-quantum crypto applications and deployment
  • Industrial strength cryptocurrency as a service
  • Blockchain education, research and training
  • Integrated AI app, ChatGPT and Nostr
  • Blockchain for compliance and audit
  • Blockchain for security and trust
  • Industrial applications

Theme 3: Sustainable Transformation

This theme focuses on moving from sustainable development to sustainable transformation, embracing Digital Ecosystems to create benefit, profit, value to healthy humanity and resilient society. This addresses both the mission of the 50th anniversary of The Club of Rome in 2019 (Limits of Quantitative Growth), as well as the mission of the 50th anniversary of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in 2020 as “Stakeholders for a Cohesive and Sustainable World”. The contributions will address the UN 2030 17 Sustainability Goals for Social, Economic, and Ecological Development (SEED), emphasizing on quality growth instead of limitless quantitative consumption of all kinds of resources (e.g. natural resources, carbon centric economy, balanced citizen health and well-being, finance, human relationships, and time as one of the most precious resources).

This theme invites submissions on:

  • Sustainable health and medical ecosystems
  • Sustainable living, longevity, and aged care
  • Sustainable supply chain and logistics services
  • Sustainable food, water, agriculture and resources
  • Sustainable green energy production (solar, wind and hydrogen)
  • Sustainable green environments, green transportation, and green cities
  • Sustainable carbon footprint, decarbonization and beyond 2050 Net-Zero
  • Sustainable “fair play” ecosystems for “start-up” and internationalization
  • Sustainable digital government and enterprise transformation
  • Sustainability awareness and education through social media
  • Sustainable democracies against fraud and fake news
  • Digital humanity and human centric heritage records
