Smart contracts provide automation in blockchain solutions. They are immutable, decentralized and deterministic, which make them ideal to remove third-parties and let peer-to-peer interactions. Once aggreed agreed between the parties and deployed on a distributed ledger, their activities and outcomes can be verified, so they can be trusted by all stakeholders. Everybody involved in DLTs are interested in smart contracts and the benefits they bring, but are also worried because there are many aspects about smart contracts they don't understand including legal and ethical insecurities. The main goal of this workgroup will be to give an academic perspective to this research topic and in parallel make clear to users, developers, researchers, businessmen, decision makers and others interested in smart contracts practical ways to utilize them on the different DLTs that are under the Hyperledger unbrella umbrella and explore all potentials from deploying them in everyday software solution scenarios.

  •  Formal guarantees on outputs of smart contracts
  •  Smart contract packaging, code reuse, and dependency auditing
  •  Smart contracts as representatives of obligations and fulfilment fulfillment (i.e. 'law')

  - What properties should smart contracts with 'legal charge' have?

...

  •  Generation of smart contracts from existing artefacts artifacts (natural language, business process, state machines, non smart-contract code)
  •  Data structures and state

...

  - How best to expose through smart contract languages/libraries

  - Sharing state backends back-ends across execution engines

  - Conflict-free and additive data structures
