Workshop on Blockchain Technology and Theory
14 October 2019, Budapest, Hungary
In connection with DISC 2019
|
Blockchains are distributed systems for executing transactions and
recording state, which are maintained by many nodes without central
authority. Distributed cryptographic protocols ensure their consistency
and liveness. Protocols for tolerating Byzantine faults have received
renewed attention because they also address blockchain systems.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and
practitioners working in distributed systems, cryptography, and security,
from academia and industry, who are interested in the technology and theory
of blockchains and their protocols.
The programme of this one-day event will consist of invited speakers
presenting recent results in the area of blockchains, which are also of
interest to the field of distributed computing. Attendance is open to
anyone. There will also be some space for discussing open problems and
future research directions.
