About

Following the success of the previous edition of the workshop on Blockchains and Smart Contracts (BSC 2019), we are pleased to announce the 3rd International Workshop on Blockchains and Smart Contracts (BSC 2020), which will be held in conjunction with the 11th IFIP International Conference on New Technologies, Mobility and Security (NTMS 2020).
Blockchain has recently emerged as a disruptive technology that may revolutionize the world economy and our societies, with applications in key industries including finance, insurance, energy, mobility, healthcare and logistics. A blockchain is typically a decentralized, trustless and continuously growing ledger that is used to record and keep track of every transactions across a peer-to- peer network of participants.

The conference & workshop are supported by IFIP TC6 WG6.2 and IEEE France.

Accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore®, IFIP Digital Library as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases. The workshop is also collaborating this year with International Journal of Forensic Software Engineering:  

This technology is secure by design and leverages well known cryptographic protocols and distributed consensus algorithms to provide key characteristics, such as resilience, fault-tolerance, persistence, anonymity, auditability and data immutability. More recently, smart contracts, backed by the blockchain technology, have emerged as a promising means for automating the execution of business workflows and enforcing legal contracts, in a fully decentralized way and without the need for any trusted third parties. However, there are still major research challenges that need to be overcome to unlock the tremendous potential of blockchains, and before enabling a mass market penetration and adoption.


Call for Papers

The objective of this workshop is to bring together experts from various domains to explore the current state of the art of blockchains and its related challenges, and to discuss new ideas and innovations to design scalable and robust blockchain solutions that are technically, economically and legally viable.

The workshop invites both academic researchers and industry practitioners to submit original and previously unpublished contributions covering the theoretical and practical aspects of the blockchain technology, smart contracts and their applications

Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Cryptographic algorithms and protocols
  • Distributed consensus algorithms
  • Peer-to- peer communication protocols
  • Architecture, scalability, governance and interoperability
  • Smart contracts and workflow automation
  • Validation of smart contracts using formal methods
  • Decentralized autonomous organization (DAO)
  • Data privacy, anonymity and confidentiality
  • Data analytics and fraud detection
  • Cryptocurrencies, markets and finance
  • Crypto economics, incentives and gamification
  • ICO and cryptocurrencies, token valuation, governance and voting 
  • Blockchain use cases such as:
    • Blockchain in IoT and cyber physical systems
    • Blockchain in Smart grids and Industry 4.0
    • Blockchain in Networking, Edge and Cloud Technologies
    • Blockchain in 5G Technologies, Telecom Process and Operation 
    • Blockchain in Supply chain management
    • Blockchain in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
    • Blockchain in Cyber Physical Systems (CPS)
  • Regulatory and standards frameworks
  • Security, privacy and trust of blockchain
  • Testing and monitoring techniques for blockchain
  • Simulation and performance evaluation techniques
  • Formal Testing / Verification
