FOCODILE 2022 is one of the workshops at DisCoTec 2022, the 17th International Federated Conference on Distributed Computing Techniques.

COVID-19: FOCODILE 22 is planned as a physical, in-person event, with certain support for remote presence, both for speakers and for other participants who are unable or unwilling to come. Depending on the pandemic situation, we may have to make a decision whether to cancel the physical component of the event or not.

Scope

FOCODILE is a forum to exchange ideas and recent research findings on theoretical foundations of consensus and blockchain technology. Topics include, but are not limited to:

Formal models of distributed consensus

Blockchain-specific cryptographic primitives and protocols

Formal verification of blockchain protocols and smart contracts

Byzantine fault tolerance and consensus

Design and analysis of distributed ledgers

Blockchain consensus mechanisms

Privacy and anonymity in cryptocurrencies

Game-theoretic approaches to blockchains

Post-quantum blockchain protocols

Performance and scalability of blockchain systems
