CBT WORKSHOP
=============

Since the appearance of Bitcoin in 2009, a plethora of new
cryptocurrencies and other blockchain based systems have been deployed
with different success. While some of them are slightly different
copies of Bitcoin, other ones propose interesting improvements or new
usages of the underlying blockchain technology. However, the novelty
of such technologies is often tied with rapid developments and
proof-of-concept software, and rigorous scientific analyses of the
proposed systems are often skipped.

This workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers in this area to
carefully analyze current systems and propose new ones in order to
create a scientific background for a solid development of new
cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology systems.

The main topics include (but are not limited to):

* Anonymity and privacy in cryptocurrencies
* Privacy-preserving technologies
* Cryptocurrency based trust systems
* Security analysis of existing cryptocurrencies
* Formal threat models in cryptocurrency systems
* Improvement proposals for existing cryptocurrencies
* Application and service cases of distributed ledgers technologies
* P2P network cryptocurrencies analysis
* Private transactions in blockchain based systems
* New usages of the blockchain technology
* Scalability solutions for blockchain systems
* Blockchain-defined networking
* Smart contracts
* Distributed Identity Management
* Distributed consensus and fault tolerance
* Blockhain Protocols and algorithms
* Transaction Monitoring and Analysis
* Token Economy, finance and payments
* Consensus mechanisms
* On-chain and off-chain code synergies
* Oracles, DeFi, and non-fungible tokens
* Decentralized applications and protocols
* Blockchain as a service

=======================
CBT SUBMISSION DETAILS
=======================

Regular and short papers must be original and not submitted for
publication elsewhere. Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts
following the LNCS Proceedings Manuscript style. Papers are limited to
16 pages (full papers), or 8 pages (short papers) including references
and appendices, and can be submitted as PDF via the CBT 2023 submission
site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cbt2023

*Double blind review*: CBT requires anonymized submissions -- please
make sure that submitted papers contain no author names or obvious
self-references.

Accepted regular papers will be published by Springer in the LNCS
collection. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to
register and present their work at the workshop; otherwise the paper
will not be included in the proceedings.

DPM (Data Privacy Management) 2023
=======================================

DPM is an annual international workshop covering research in data
privacy management. Organizations are increasingly concerned
about the privacy of information that they manage (as witnessed,
for example, by lawsuits filed against organizations for
violating the privacy of customer's data). Thus, the management
of privacy-sensitive information is very critical and important
for every organization.

This poses several challenging problems, such as how to translate the
high-level business goals into system-level privacy policies,
administration of privacy-sensitive data, privacy preserving data
integration and engineering, privacy preserving access control
mechanisms, information-oriented security, and query execution on
privacy-sensitive data for partial answers. Starting from these
observations, the aim of DPM is to discuss and exchange ideas related
to data privacy management. We invite papers from researchers and
practitioners working in privacy, security, trustworthy data systems
and related areas to submit their original papers in this workshop.
Submissions by PhD students as well as controversial ideas are
encouraged. Case studies (successful or not) are also encouraged.

==============
DPM TOPICS
==============

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Privacy in Machine Learning
- Privacy Information Management
- Privacy Policy-based Infrastructures and Architectures
- Privacy-oriented Access Control Languages and Models
- Privacy in Trust Management
- Privacy in Cryptocurrencies
- Privacy Data Integration
- Privacy Risk Assessment and Assurance
- Privacy Services
- Privacy Policy Analysis
- Data Protection Regulations in Practice
- Cryptographic Protocols for Privacy
- Query Execution over Privacy Sensitive Data
- Privacy Preserving Data Mining
- Privacy for Integrity-based Computing
- Privacy Monitoring and Auditing
- Privacy in Social Networks
- Privacy in Ambient Intelligence (AmI) Applications
- Individual Privacy vs. Corporate/National Security
- Privacy in computer networks
- Privacy and RFIDs
- Privacy and Big Data
- Privacy in sensor networks
- Privacy in the Internet of Things

========================
DPM PAPER SUBMISSIONS
========================

Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been
published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a
conference with proceedings. Papers can be submitted as Full Papers or
Short Papers. Full papers should be at most 16 pages in the LNCS
format, including the bibliography and well-marked appendices. Short
papers should be at most 8 pages in the LNCS format, including the
bibliography and well-marked appendices. Program Committee members are
not required to read the appendices, so papers should be intelligible
without them.

Authors should indicate whether their paper is a short paper to
differentiate them from full papers. All submissions must be written
in English. It is planned to have accepted papers published by
Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series, the
LNCS template can be found at
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs/lncs+authors.

Authors must submit their papers by the indicated deadline, using the
EasyChair web site:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dpm2023

Only PDF files will be accepted (a Latex source file will be required
for the
final version of the accepted papers). All papers will be refereed. Accepted
papers must be presented at the Workshop. At least one author of each
accepted
paper must register to the workshop, by the early date indicated by the
organizers, and present the paper.
