=========================== IEEE BSC 2024 =================================
IEEE International Workshop on Blockchain and Smart Contracts (IEEE BSC 2024)
Cambridge, United Kingdom, July 1-5, 2024
https://qrs24.techconf.org/track/workshops/bsc
Paper Submission Deadline: April 15, 2024 (extended)
=================================================================================
In conjunction with IEEE QRS 2024 - The 24th IEEE International Conference on
Software Quality, Reliability, and Security
** The workshop adopts a hybrid model allowing either in-person or online remote
presentations.
Description:
A blockchain is a distributed ledger that records transactions and is maintained
by many nodes through a distributed cryptographic protocol with no central
authority. Smart contracts on the blockchain make transactions traceable,
transparent and irreversible. Blockchain technology and smart contracts are
expected to play an important role in emerging areas such as the Internet of
things (IoT), cyber-physical systems (CPS), social networking, crowdsourcing and
next generation wireless communications. On the other hand, their advancement
should be further developed in terms of scalability, privacy, efficiency,
flexibility, and high dependability.
The IEEE International Workshop on Blockchain and Smart Contracts (IEEE BSC 2024)
at QRS aims to provide a high-profile, cutting-edge forum for researchers,
engineers, and practitioners to present the latest advances and innovations
in key theories, infrastructure, schemes and major applications of blockchain
software, and to identify emerging research topics and define the future.
Topic of Interest:
The Workshop welcomes technical papers, which are related to (but not limited to)
the following topics:
- Theoretical study on blockchain and smart contacts
- Blockchain consensus protocols
- Executable law, context-awareness, consistency, monitoring
- Solution to scalability of blockchain
- Benchmarking and performance study
- Algorithm design, complexity analysis, implementation for blockchain
- Security, privacy, and reliability of blockchain and smart Contracts
- Novel applications based on blockchain and smart contracts
Important Dates:
- Paper submission due: April 15, 2024 (extended)
- Notification of acceptance: May 6, 2024
- Camera-ready papers: June 1, 2024
- Conference dates: July 1-5, 2024
Submit Your Contributions:
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished research papers as well
as industrial practice papers. Simultaneous submissions to other conferences
are not permitted. The length of a camera ready paper will be limited to ten
pages. Each paper should include a title, the name and affiliation of each
author, a 300-word abstract, and up to 6 keywords. Shorter version papers
(up to six pages) are also allowed. All papers must conform to the QRS
conference proceedings format and Submission Guideline set in advance by
QRS 2024. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper is required
to pay full registration fee and present the paper at the workshop.
Arrangements are being made to publish extended version of top-quality papers
in selected SCI journals. Submissions must be in PDF format and uploaded to
the conference submission site at:
