4th Blockchain Software Engineering Workshop (BSEW 23)
Blockchain technologies are rapidly evolving and have been applied to diverse domains such as finance, supply chains and logistics, industry 4.0/5.0, energy, smart cities, health care, and social good. We can expect to see many novel software applications based on blockchain technologies. Software engineering theories and practices need to be evaluated, adapted, and extended to effectively develop high-quality and secure blockchain-based applications. The 4th edition of the workshop plans to build on the success of previsions editions to promote the sound adoption of software engineering practices, evaluation, and assessment in developing blockchains and their applications.
List of Topics
We welcome original and unpublished research submissions that use and empirically evaluate software engineering approaches and theories for developing blockchain-based applications. The related software engineering technologies include, but are not limited to:
- Blockchain-Based Application Architecture
- Requirement engineering
- Design patterns and reference architecture
- Design/modelling notations, tools, and analysis
- Quality of Smart Contracts and Blockchain-Based Applications
- Reliability and fault tolerance
- Quality assurance
- Security and privacy
- Software engineering analytics
- Software Processes for Blockchain-Based Applications
- Model-driven engineering
- Software testing technologies and tools
- Estimating effort for developing and testing applications
- Software processes such as Agile, DevOps, and AIOps
- Software engineering issues related to managing blockchain platforms and applications
- Experience and lessons learned from transferring blockchain-based applications to the industry
- Experience and lessons learned from migrating conventional applications to blockchain
- Software project management and knowledge management
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. We accept the following 2 types of submissions:
- Full research paper – up to 8 pages
