活动简介

The ^7th Workshop on Emerging Trends in Software Engineering for Blockchain aims at involving researchers interested in emerging topics and trends in software engineering with particular focus on Blockchain software systems, extending the experiences of WETSEB 2018 through WETSEB 2023.

Given the new and specific challenges proposed to software engineers by the emerging Blockchain technology, since WETSEB 2018 the organizers switched workshop interest from software metrics (WETSoM 2010 to 2017) to specific software engineering for the Blockchain technology.

Motivations for this workshop are increased in the past two editions given the clear outstanding interest in software communities, in the academy, in the industry, in the finance and in the media on the Blockchain Oriented Software Engineering (BOSE) [1], witnessed by the larger and larger amount of publications, of start-ups and companies which in the last years exploited this new technology.

Beside the growing interest, there is still a lack of software engineering practices applied to Blockchain oriented software. This workshop aims to stimulate the interest of researchers, practitioners and people from industry in the current issues and new directions and challenges for blockchain-oriented software engineering, and at investigating the need for novel specialized software engineering practices for the Blockchain software ecosystem.

The topics of interest in the discussion include:

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
Smart Contracts re-engineering
Security and reliability in Blockchain and Smart Contracts
Smart Contract Testing (SCT)
Blockchain Transaction Testing (BTT) to ensure status integrity
Blockchain Software architecture, design notation and metamodels
Applications in Economy and Finance
Internet of Things
Notarization Supply chain management Web 3.0 e-commerce, e-health, e-democracy social networks.

7th International Workshop on Emerging Trends in Software
Engineering for Blockchain – WETSEB 2025

Co-located with:

ICSE 2025 27 April – 03, May 2025 – Ottawa CANADA

The Workshop on Emerging Trends in Software Engineering for Blockchain inherits from the past eight editions of WETSoM (Workshop on Emerging Trends on Software Metrics) the challenges of gathering together researchers interested in emerging topics and trends in software engineering.

The Workshop’s goal is to discuss on the progresses and on open problems in the ongoing research and on the application of
Software Engineering to Blockchain Software Systems, gathering together practitioners and researchers from academia and
form industry. This concerns the blockchain technology, the smart contracts software, the integration between blockchain and
external components, such as interfaces and Dapps, and all the technologies relying on it. The workshop calls researches on
modelling languages, domain specific languages, tools, paradigms, principles, approaches to deal with the new challenges posed
by Blockchain technology to software engineers and for a specific Blockchain Oriented Software Engineering (BOSE) [1].

This year we also solicit contributions on Early Research Achievements (ERA) from Ph.D. students and young researcher on the field.

Topics:

Blockchain Oriented Software Engineering
Blockchain software analysis and reengineering
Formal specification of Blockchain behavior
Agile and Lean processes for Blockchain software development
Tools for Blockchain software distributed development and community management
Smart Contracts reengineering
Security and reliability in Blockchain and Smart Contracts
Smart Contract Testing (SCT)
Blockchain Transaction Testing (BTT) to ensure status integrity
Blockchain Software architecture, design notation and metamodels.
Smart Contracts Software architecture, design notation and metamodels.
Software Engineering for Blockchain
Applications in Economy and Finance, Internet of Things, Notarization, Supply chain management
Web 3.0 – e-commerce, e-health, e-democracy, social networks, etc .
