IEEE International Workshop on Blockchain and Smart Contracts (IEEE BSC 2025)

Hangzhou, China, July 16-20, 2025

https://qrs25.techconf.org/track/workshops/bsc

Paper Submission Deadline: April 15, 2025

=================================================================================

In conjunction with IEEE QRS 2025 – The 25th 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 2025)

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, 2025

– Notification of acceptance: May 20, 2025

– Camera-ready papers: June 15, 2025
