Many Swarmchestrate partners took part in the 7th International Conference on Blockchain Computing and Applications, on 14–17 October 2025, in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
Attila Kertesz of FrontEndArt delivered a keynote talk titled “Simulation Approaches of the Cloud-to-Thing Continuum“, presenting the simulation capabilities of the DISSECT-CF-Fog and FoBSim simulators, and how those have been shaped by our on-going work in Swarmchestrate.
Prof. Vlado Stankovski of the University of Ljubljana during his keynote talk “Evolving Identities: Natural, Digital, Collective?“ introduced a unified model of digital identity which evolves semantically and contextually, enabling privacy-preserving, interoperable, and trustworthy interactions across decentralised ecosystems. Drawing on the decentralised IDs in cloud orchestration systems of the Swarmchestrate project, it demonstrates how mathematically grounded, adaptive identities can build dynamic trust and meaning in the digital world.
During the last day of the conference, Giorgos Lagos of ICCS-NTUA presented remotely the paper “Towards Reliable Reputation and Trust Management in Swarm Computing using SSI-enabled Smart Contracts“. This part of our work proposes a novel Identity Management System that leverages blockchain technology for transparency and immutability, coupled with Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) protocols for decentralised identity and reputation handling.
