*WORKSHOP SCOPE*

In the last few years, software systems are moving towards blockchain
technologies since they bring many advantages in different sectors.

Thanks to smart contracts, data can be manipulated and accessed by users
like in standard databases. This opportunity, combined with the blockchain
potentialities, such as the integrity and immutability of data, guarantees
trusted evidence of the information stored and exchanged in the blockchain
without relying on a central authority. This makes the blockchain the ideal
technology for auditing, verification and sharing purposes, changing
significantly the way to design and implement next-generation distributed
applications.

Recently, both academia and industry show an increasing interest in
blockchain, focusing on trusted data sharing. The scientific results of the
workshop have the ambition to change the way to organize, store, retrieve
and share data.

>From the technical perspective, the workshop can break the technological
barriers for data management on blockchain technologies, proposing novel
approaches and solutions.

Conceptual, technical, application-oriented and case study contributions
are welcomed within the themes of this workshop.
