WORKSHOP ON BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY AND THEORY


23 JULY 2018, ROYAL HOLLOWAY, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON, UK


IN CONNECTION WITH PODC 2018



A blockchain is a distributed ledger for recording transactions, maintained by
many nodes without central authority through a distributed cryptographic
protocol. All nodes validate the information to be appended to the blockchain,
and a consensus protocol ensures that the nodes agree on a unique order in which
entries are appended. Consensus 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 a few 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.
