B4ISE25 - Blockchain for
Information Systems Engineering

Workshop Presentation

Blockchain technology supports decentralized, transparent, and immutable transaction execution and storage. The advent of smart contracts has provided the opportunity to manage digital assets and to implement business logic running on blockchain platforms. Thanks to its characteristics, blockchain enables mutually distrusting parties to share data in a trusted way, without requiring third-party authorities. The evolution of blockchain has generated a strong and continuously growing interest from industry and academia in its adoption for creating novel Information Systems (IS). Blockchain's execution environment offers additional trust guarantees, enhancing auditing and verification activities.

The distinctive nature of blockchain technology and its application in novel IS raise new challenges from different perspectives. From a conceptual perspective, important challenges revolve around requirements engineering, modeling, integration, governance, and the evolution of these systems. From a technical perspective, the development of blockchain-based IS raises challenges related to data sharing, data management, system optimization, and the adoption of novel on- and off-chain solutions.

Addressing these challenges requires innovative research and solutions to strengthen the adoption of blockchain-based IS and their engineering. The B4ISE workshop welcomes conceptual, technical, application-oriented, and case-study contributions around these challenges.

The workshop focuses on different aspects of Blockchain-based Information Systems engineering. While these aspects are also challenging for IS, the focus on blockchain-related solutions for data represents a significant difference from the main conference and the other CAiSE events.
