WORKSHOP SCOPE
Nowadays, in an interconnected society, the increasing need for
coordination among different organizations requires innovative solutions
built upon trustworthy systems. To achieve such an effective digital
transformation, organisations need to bridge the gap between business,
information, processes and technologies. This problem has been tackled by
research on process and information science.
Information science is an integrated set of components to collect,
manipulate, classify, store, and process data to produce information,
knowledge, and digital solutions.
In such a context, Blockchain can bring huge advantages by guaranteeing the
integrity and immutability of data without relying on a central entity,
permitting a tamper-proof execution of contractual obligations among the
involved organizations. However, recent challenges should be addressed,
especially in supporting multiple blockchain platforms and related smart
contracts, breaking the technological barriers for enterprises
The primary objective of B4PIS workshop aims to investigate the potential
of blockchain technology within the fields of process and information
science. This investigation seeks to address and overcome current
technological challenges, promoting innovative approaches to the design and
implementation of blockchain-based information systems and enterprise
applications, as well as their broader societal impact.
TOPICS:
The workshop accepts research papers presenting conceptual, technical,
application-oriented and case-study contributions. The themes of this
workshop include but are not limited to:
-
Blockchain migration strategies for processes, enterprise applications,
and data
