Blockchain 101 for Government Officials

Blockchain applications demand standard testing such as functional performance, integration, and security testing. In addition, testing teams must have these specialized testing capabilities including Smart Contracts testing and Node Testing. know how differently each industry is influencing Blockchain Testing capabilities.

Technological development has propelled the wave of change. We are witnessing so many new developments around us. One such technological breakthrough that we will be highlighting in this blog is Blockchain and artificial intelligence. Blockchain is the latest entrant in this world, but Artificial Intelligence has long been there in the business, but it's only recently that AI has fetched so much attention. Both these technologies are revolutionary in nature and thus have the potential to bring forth a lot of transformative changes in the future. Imagine coming together with both these powerful technologies. This blog's focus is to highlight how AI-enabled Blockchain will be helpful and what new changes will it be bringing with it.

My keynote slides from the Second International Symposium on Foundations and Applications of Blockchain 2019 (FAB '19) and a talk I gave the day before at Google. In this talk, I'm giving an overview of our research in Software Architecture, Model-Driven Engineering, Dependability / Availability, and Business Process Execution in the context of Blockchain. It's a summary of our book: X. Xu, I. Weber, M. Staples, Architecture for Blockchain Applications, Springer 2019

Just how closely should financial executives be paying attention? Is the disruption of blockchain technology a distant rumble or an imminent strike? Fintech is shaking the foundation of the traditional financial services industry and blockchain alone could be a game-changer, transforming transactions, custody, accounting, currency exchange, and more. Navigating the associated business implications and expected timeline is no easy task for financial professionals. This webinar can help firms sift through the noise and will identify the most significant blockchain trends and tangible applications. Sponsored by ALFI

These slides were shared with attendees of the Digital Currency Group Enterprise Blockchain Workshop on Oct. 25, 2017.

Blockchain technology and smart contracts have the potential to significantly impact the insurance industry. Smart contracts allow insurance policies, claims, and settlements to be automatically executed based on predefined rules and data inputs from oracles and IoT sensors. This could accelerate the development of on-demand or usage-based insurance products. It may also simplify and automate claims management by automatically validating events and processing payouts. While smart contracts offer benefits of increased efficiency, automation, and transparency, their large-scale implementation also faces challenges related to governance, legal standards, and technical scalability that require further development.

As a shared, secure, distributed ledger that works in a peer-to-peer environment, blockchain technology can benefit the insurance industry in numerous ways throughout the value chain. We explore several use cases, including death claims processing, to illustrate blockchain's ability to streamline cumbersome workflows, reduce errors and fraud, increase auditability and confer competitive advantage.

Evaluating the potential of blockchain technology to radically transform business [Feel free to download the presentation if you'd like to view it offline]

Blockchain promises to drastically lower costs, increase data quality and vastly simplify business processes in a range of industries. During this event speakers from MongoDB, BigchainDB, Ripple, and 11FSTeam answered question around how to operationalise blockchain into existing environments and rely on it as we do with existing systems.

The document discusses blockchain technology and its potential applications. It defines blockchain as a distributed, public ledger that uses cryptography to allow for transparency and proof of ownership without a central authority. The document outlines several potential uses for blockchain within industries like finance, government, and logistics to improve record keeping, transactions, and asset management. It also notes some advantages like transparency but acknowledges disadvantages around scalability and energy use must still be addressed.

Traceability of components of products - from food to fashion - is central to the promise of using blockchain to organize and operationalize data from the web of supply chains. How would traceability bring value? How do blockchain and smart contracts work? And how would these foster traceability? What has been done so far in this regard? What issues and tensions affect adoption of traceability, whether by blockchain or other means? This webinar examines blockchain and the role it plays in supply chain by providing traceability.

Blockchain is a tool. Samson Williams likens blockchain to a group text message, in which each participant receives a distributed, time-stamped, tamper-resistant (and encrypted) record of data transactions. Each group text has these characteristics. Everyone in the group “sees” the data, and none can change or gainsay any group message. Smart contracts are computer code put on the blockchain (how, exactly?) that establishes self-executing terms and conditions of a transaction. Are smart contracts smart? If certain data comes in and fulfills a pre-set term or condition, then rights and responsibilities are formed, terminated, modified, or shifted among the parties. Ah certainty and transparency, but also ah garbage in and garbage out. Are some contractual terms not amenable to smart contracting? And are smart contracts necessarily contracts? If not, can they still be useful? If a smart contract is a contract, what is the governing document? Is it the words business people and lawyers use, or is it the code that is supposed to reflect the words?
