WORKSHOP SCOPE

In the last few years, many software systems are moving towards 
blockchain technologies since they bring many advantages in different 
sectors. Thanks to smart contracts, data can be manipulated and accessed 
by users similar to databases with enhanced trust capabilities. This 
opportunity, combined with the blockchain potentialities, such as the 
integrity and the immutability of data, guarantees trusted evidence of 
the information stored and exchanged in the blockchain without relying 
on a central authority. This makes the blockchain the ideal technology 
for auditing, verification and sharing purposes, significantly changing 
how to design and implement next-generation distributed applications.


Recently, both academia and industry show an increasing interest in 
blockchain, looking for innovative blockchain-based technical solutions 
enabling data sharing in a trusted and decentralized way. The scientific 
results of the workshop have the ambition to change the way to organize, 
store, retrieve and share data. This is towards strengthening the 
decentralized access to data for any businesses, organizations, or 
participants in world-wide distributed networks. Thus, reflecting also 
in the development of business information systems in which 
decentralization and data sharing are key challenges.


 From the technical perspective, the workshop can break the 
technological barriers to data management on blockchain technology, 
proposing novel approaches and solutions.

Conceptual, technical, application-oriented and case-study contributions 
are welcomed within the themes of this workshop.
