Blockchain  and  Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT)  have  the  potential  to
disrupt  any  domain  involving coordination  among  autonomous  resources. This
include  finance and  payments (e.g., Facebook Libra), but  also networks (e.g.,
power grids or telecom networks), computing (e.g., brokering of edge resources),
IoT ( e.g., supply chain or  industry 4.0) or  service platforms (e.g., identity
management).  BRAINS conference is  dedicated to  these new 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, the following:
 
Fundamentals of Blockchain and DLT
- Theoretical contributions on  Blockchain and DLT
- Distributed consensus and fault tolerance solutions, including
  domain-specific consensus (e.g., for networking)
- Tradeoffs between decentralization, scalability, performance and security
- Protocols and algorithms
 
Decentralized Apps, Smart contracts and chain code
- Development languages and tooling
- Security, Privacy, Attacks, Forensics
- Transaction Monitoring and Analysis
- Token Economy
- Distributed Trust
- Collaboration between on-chain and off-chain code
- Oracle
 
Application and service cases of DLT and Smart-Contracts
- Finance and payments
- IoT and cyber physical systems
- Smart grids and Industry 4.0
- Networking, Edge and Cloud Technologies
- 5G Technologies, Telecom Process and Operation
- Supply chain management
- Connected and autonomous vehicles
- Services or Resources Marketplaces
- Blockchain as a service
- Blockchain-defined networking
