International Workshop on Blockchain and Smart
Contract
In Conjunction with
SOSE 2016
Oxford,
UK
29 March – 2 April
2016
With demonstrated potentials for financial
and business applications, blockchain and smart contract are considered as
theenabling techniques for a new fringe economy on the Internet.They introduced
challenges to many areas including distributed storage and data management,
security, reliability, scalability, and software architecture. Novelty
inter-disciplinary research and practices are inspired in counter to the
challenges including distributed crypto-ledger, consensus protocols, digital ID,
decentralized autonomous organization, and policy enforcement. When powered
bythe new information infrastructure and trust framework, various Internet
applications could be renovated, especially data-intensive applications such as
cryptocurrency, digital copyright, healthcare, smart city, executable law, and
so on.
This workshop brings together researchers
and practitioners working in software engineering, security, distributed
computing, big data, cloud computing, protocol and algorithms as well as
applications to share ideas, understandings, and insights of the research
problems, results, best practices, and research directions. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:
