Call for Posters and Lightning Talks

The 1st International Summer School on Security & Privacy for Blockchains and Distributed Ledger Technologies (BDLT) invites posters and lightning talks to showcase work-in-progress and already-published research.

The BDLT19 is jointly organized by members of TU Wien (Vienna University of Technology), Princeton University, and SBA Research. In its first edition, it will be hosted by TU Wien in Vienna, Austria from September 2, 2019 to September 5, 2019.

=========================
Topics
=========================
Example topics of interest include, but are not limited to: novel attacks on distributed systems; consensus protocols and fault tolerance; incentive structures, such as proof-of-work and proof-of-stake; recent results on blockchain scalability, payment channels and state channels; advancements on smart contracts; or, realistic adversarial capabilities. We strongly encourage both submissions from academia and industry. If your poster or lightning talk is accepted, at least one of the authors must register and attend BDLT to present their research.
=========================
Posters
=========================
Please submit an extended abstract no longer than two pages that describes your research. The research does not need to be completed or published, and preliminary results are encouraged but not required. Details: https://bdlt.school/call-for-posters-and-lightning-talks/

Lightning Talks
=========================
The lightning talks session at BDLT is intended to present work-in-progress from attendees (both from academia and industry) in the form of a short presentation. We strongly encourage submission of a poster and a lightning talk on the same topic to the summer school. There are no format requirements for your talk and we do not provide any template.
