Abstract
Business process management research opened numerous opportunities for synergies with blockchains in different domains. Blockchains have been identified as means of preventing illegal runtime adaptation of decentralized choreographies that involve untrusting parties. In the eScience domain however there is a need to support a different type of collaboration where adaptation is essential part of that collaboration. Scientists demand support for trial-and-error experiment modeling in collaboration with other scientists and at the same time, they require reproducible experiments and results. The first aspect has already been addressed using adaptable scientific choreographies. To enable trust among collaborating scientists in this position paper we identify potential approaches for combining adaptable scientific choreographies with blockchain platforms, discuss their advantages and point out future research questions.
