FOCODILE 2022 : International Workshop on Foundations of Consensus and Distributed Ledgers

FOCODILE 2022 is one of the workshops at DisCoTec 2022, the 17th International Federated Conference on Distributed Computing Techniques.

COVID-19: FOCODILE 22 is planned as a physical, in-person event, with certain support for remote presence, both for speakers and for other participants who are unable or unwilling to come. Depending on the pandemic situation, we may have to make a decision whether to cancel the physical component of the event or not.
Scope

FOCODILE is a forum to exchange ideas and recent research findings on theoretical foundations of consensus and blockchain technology. Topics include, but are not limited to:

Formal models of distributed consensus
Blockchain-specific cryptographic primitives and protocols
Formal verification of blockchain protocols and smart contracts
Byzantine fault tolerance and consensus
Design and analysis of distributed ledgers
Blockchain consensus mechanisms
Privacy and anonymity in cryptocurrencies
Game-theoretic approaches to blockchains
Post-quantum blockchain protocols
Performance and scalability of blockchain systems
