Call For Papers
Decentralized technologies (Web3, Blockchain, Distributed Ledger Technologies, IPFS) have started to disrupt multiple domains, including finance and payments but also networks, computing, supply chain, identity management or Artificial Intelligence with decentralized learning.
BRAINS conference is dedicated to these advances that could make the world of networks and services more secure while enabling new distributed business models.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
Effective challenges for decentralized systems
- Theoretical contributions to Blockchain, DLT and decentralized storage
- Distributed consensus and fault tolerance solutions, including domain-specific consensus
- Protocols and algorithms
- Distributed ledger analytics
- Trade-offs between decentralization, scalability, performance, and security
- Zero-Knowledge proofs
- Layer 2 solutions for scalability and privacy
- Blockchain interoperability and cross-chain mechanisms
- Storage solutions and data availability
- Obstacles to achieve effective decentralization
- Adversarial attacks and participant’s strategic behaviour
Fundamentals of Decentralized Apps, Smart contracts, and chain code:
- Languages and tooling for dApp development
- Security, privacy, and forensics
- Transaction monitoring and analysis
- Collaboration between on-chain and off-chain code
- Token Economy, incentives, and protocols
- Tokenization of Intangible, Real-world Assets
- Blockchain-defined networking
- Web3 and distributed storage and computation
Application and service cases of DLT and Smart contracts:
- Blockchain and AI, federated and decentralized learning
- Identity management
- Finance, payments, and fraud detection and prevention
- Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and payments
