Short description

This special session focuses on the latest developments in computational, symbolic and secure algorithms for permissioned and permissionless blockchains. We encourage submissions pertaining to innovative consensus mechanisms for blockchains, symbolic computation and its application in smart-contracts for blockchains, new architectures as well as new computational approaches to enhancing performance, scalability and reliability in both permissionless and permissioned blockchains. This special session also welcomes submissions on symbolic algorithms with direct smart-contract applications to be used in blockchains, as well as secure mechanisms and algorithms for enhancing the security of smart-contracts, alongside algorithms for improved data security and privacy in blockchain-alike architectures.
