Blockchain is a shared, replicated ledger technology that can open up business networks by reducing costs, improving efficiencies, and increasing accessibility. It addresses challenges across industries by providing a shared system of record for transactions. The Linux Foundation's Hyperledger project is developing open-source, shared ledger technology standards through collaboration. The blockchain landscape includes identity management, platforms, security, payments, smart contracts, consulting services, industry consortiums, and applications in sectors like finance, supply chain, and government.

Organizations ranging from small start-ups to major global banks and government agencies are already investing in Blockchain technology, is your organization thinking about it? See our point of view on Blockchain, please reach out to me to discuss further (karnan.ariaratnam@ca.pwc.com)

Modeling is important for translating business concepts into technical concepts that can be implemented on a blockchain. Key elements to model include assets, contracts, transactions, the business network, and participants. Assets correspond to real-world items and are modeled as data structures. Contracts define the rules and algorithms for modifying asset states. Transactions invoke contracts and are recorded on the blockchain. The business network and participants are modeled as the technical network and identities. Modeling provides a bridge between business and technical views to enable blockchain solutions.

Initial thoughts on regulating Bitcoin and virtual currencies are discussed. Regulation aims to promote fair, efficient markets and protect customers. Lessons can be drawn from mobile and internet banking regulations. Potential regulations discussed include registration/licensing requirements, capital requirements, governance standards, and anti-money laundering compliance. Regulations should balance mitigating risks while allowing innovation, and ensure technological progress is not hindered.

This is a deck which talks about blockchain(s) and their use cases, It is based off of some o the best thought in the space and looks at why banking and financial services will be changed.

Blockchain technology is being used in various industries including identity, smart contracts, financial services, and land title registry. Onename is building an identity system to register identities on the blockchain, replacing passwords. Hedgy is using smart contracts to allow traders to securely create and settle derivatives contracts. Coins.ph is bringing financial services to the unbanked through mobile payments and money transfers on the blockchain. Factom partnered with the Honduran government to record land titles on the blockchain.

How to get started with IBM Blockchain. Presentation by Christian Lassen, IBM Blockchain Leader Nordic, held at Watson Sweden Summit 2017

Global trade of goods has been growing at double-digit rates since the early 2000s. Digitzation had its time; but still we have manual paper based work exsisitng in most of the Trade finance activities. Now is the time to see value addition from Blockchain based platforms and how they can make this process faster, reliable and paperless.

Presentation for Asian Financial Markets and Institutions, October 2016, HKU MBA Program. Covers basics of blockchain and distributed ledgers and discusses some current and potential applications.

It explains the concept of Blockchain which is going revolutionize the world economy. Blockchain is going to change money, business and thus the world.

Blockchain is a shared, immutable ledger that can record transactions and track assets in business networks. It allows companies to share records and establish trust without the need for a central authority. IBM's blockchain platform uses Hyperledger Fabric to develop applications that provide benefits like reduced costs, improved traceability and data sharing between organizations. It can help industries like finance, supply chain and healthcare by creating transparency and efficiency in business processes.

The document discusses the potential value of blockchain applications and describes the structure of blockchain big data transactions. It explains that blockchain consists of three parts: a public chain for exchange, member chains for exchange, and node devices. The public chain establishes communication and maintains records, while member chains store member data and query services. Node devices connect the public and member chains. The document then discusses how blockchain could improve food traceability systems. Current systems rely on individual enterprises and lack information sharing. The chain of traceability is also not long enough. There is a lack of credibility in third parties, leading consumers and enterprises to doubt traceability data. Blockchain may help address these issues through its open and verifiable record of transactions.

Blockchain technology has the potential to fundamentally change manufacturing supply chains by enabling trusted relationships and transactions between partners without intermediaries. Smart contracts on blockchain platforms can automate negotiations and transactions, reducing costs while increasing efficiency and agility. Early applications include smart contracts that automate procurement transactions between suppliers and buyers, and smart equipment that can automatically order replenishments. Widespread use of blockchain in manufacturing will require overcoming challenges of integrating new decentralized technologies with existing systems and evaluating technology maturity.

The document discusses blockchain technology and its potential uses and impact. It describes blockchain as a distributed ledger that acts as a shared source of truth. It then discusses several potential uses of blockchain technology, including storing value safely in the cloud, immutability as proof, and creating new business models through disruption. The document goes on to provide examples of how blockchain could transform processes like contract signing, accounting and reporting, and global trade. It proposes that blockchain can create trust in technology by automating decision making processes. Finally, it describes how the workshop will be organized to share knowledge on blockchain and help organizations build prototypes to explore blockchain applications.

This document discusses how blockchain and smart buildings can reshape distributed cloud computing and the internet. It describes how blockchain technologies like Ethereum allow for distributed applications running on smart contracts. The iEx.ec project aims to provide a blockchain-based distributed cloud computing platform that gives applications access to computing resources like services, data, and infrastructure in a low-cost, secure, on-demand and fully distributed manner. This builds upon prior work in desktop grid computing and could make cloud computing more efficient and greener by better utilizing idle computing resources.

This document discusses Bangladesh's Agriculture Census 2018. It provides background on previous agriculture censuses conducted in Bangladesh. Agriculture Census 2018 will cover crops, fisheries, and livestock for the first time. It aims to identify structural changes in agriculture over time and provide data for policymaking. The census will involve full enumeration and use of core and long questionnaires. It will develop sampling frames for future surveys. Outputs will include preliminary reports and reports on cropping patterns, sample census, and administration. The census expects to improve annual estimates for crops, fisheries, and livestock used in GDP calculation. Support may be provided for questionnaire preparation, training, data capturing, and report development.

The document discusses how schools can improve student outcomes by strategically allocating resources. It provides examples of how two schools/districts were able to do this. District A realized 9th graders had larger class sizes and more novice teachers so they reassigned teachers to reduce 9th grade class sizes. School X found math teachers had higher loads so they revised schedules to pair students with the same teacher for multiple periods to lower individual teacher loads. Reallocating resources like this based on data can boost student achievement compared to the traditional one-size-fits-all approach of the past 50+ years.
