IWBOSE 2027– 10th International Workshop on Blockchain Oriented Software Engineering co-located with SANER 2027

10th International Workshop on Blockchain Oriented Software Engineering 9-12 March 2027 Richmond, Virginia, USA

The 10th International Workshop on Blockchain Oriented Software Engineering (BOSE), held within SANER 2027 conference is aimed at gathering together researchers and practitioners to discuss the new challenges posed to software engineers by the new software technology supporting the various blockchain infrastructures. The focus of BOSE is on the (un-)application of specific software engineering development best practices to software revolving around blockchain. Motivations for this workshop are the ever-increasing interest both in the research community and in the industry in blockchain and smart contracts principles and applications, being the management of cryptocurrencies the most popular topic.

Furthermore, the last years have seen the creation of new and specialized languages for blockchain applications and smart contracts. These novelties call for specific tools, paradigms, principles, approaches and research to deal with it and for a specific Blockchain Oriented Software Engineering.

Workshop topics include and are not limited to the following:
•⁠ ⁠Blockchain Oriented Software Engineering.
•⁠ ⁠Blockchain software analysis and re-engineering.
•⁠ ⁠Formal specification of Blockchain behavior.
•⁠ ⁠Agile and Lean processes for Blockchain software development.
•⁠ ⁠Tools for Blockchain software distributed development and community management.
