The Internet of Things (IoT) has been entering every aspect of life by exploiting a series of advanced technologies. With the remarkable increase in the number of diverse devices, the volume of internet data grows exponentially. In order to support emerging novel applications, an end-to-end information processing system is expected, where three key components are needed: data sensing, data communication, and data computing. Since these three components are tightly coupled, their integration is a requirement of IoT in providing high service quality, however, this also raises some concerns regarding trust. In order to address these issues, blockchain is considered to be a promising complement to IoT, which is able to enable trust establishment, repository, and transfer between different entities. However, the research on blockchain-empowered data sensing, communication, and computing (SCC) integration is still in its infancy with many key problems that remain to be solved.

Therefore, this Special Issue aims to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to share their latest research findings on blockchain empowered SCC integration for IoT. Original research and review articles are welcome.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Architecture design for blockchain empowered SCC integration
• Blockchain empowered data sharing
• Blockchain empowered data communication
• Blockchain empowered data computing
• Blockchain empowered collaboration and management of multi-dimensional resources
• Mobile edge computing empowered blockchain
• Security and privacy issues for SCC integration
• Performance analysis for blockchain empowered SCC integration
• Implementation/testbed/deployment for blockchain empowered SCC integration
• Efficient incentive schemes for blockchain empowered SCC integration
