The blockchain technology has rapidly evolved from a fringe technique to a hype, especially in the financial sector. However, independently of the success or failure of certain cryptocurrencies, the idea of a intrusion-resilient distributed database also holds great potential also in many other sectors. Blockchains have been proposed as a mechanism to store and share information related to, among others, real estate transactions, supply chains, voting, healthcare, and insurance. While some security properties (e.g., double spending attacks in cryptocurrencies) have been extensively studied, more research is needed to study aspects such as the reliability of the software that controls the data structures, the availability of read and write operations under varying conditions, scalability, as well as other security-related aspects such as post-quantum blockchain.
Scope and topics of interest
The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum where the dependability
aspects of blockchains can be discussed. We welcome technical papers containing
theory, methods, techniques and evaluations as well as case studies focusing on
blockchain deployments.
- Dependable blockchains
- Formal verification of blockchain code
- Blockchains for dependability
- Blockchain consensus mechanisms
- Post-quantum blockchain
- Blockchain performance evaluation
- Blockchain deployment analysis
- Blockchain and networking
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. We invite papers in two different categories:
- Full papers, containing new unpublished work with clear technical contributions. Page limit: 6 pages.
- Short papers, describing work-in-progress or position papers of visionary nature. Page limit: 2 pages.
Submitted papers must follow the IEEE conference format, using 2 columns, 10 pt, single-line spacing, A4 paper and should be submitted in PDF format.
Publication
The workshop proceedings will be published as an appendix to the SRDS conference proceedins in IEEE Xplore.
