Presentation / testimony delivered by Mark Mueller-Eberstein of Adgetec Corporation at the Legislative Committee on Economic Development and International Relations in July 2018 on Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies
This document discusses how blockchains, semantics, and Ricardian contracts can help address issues of trust and validity in digital transactions. It provides examples of how ontologies could be used to formally represent items like organic tomatoes. Ricardian contracts aim to make digital contracts both human and machine readable by embedding ontologies. Prediction markets and agricultural insurance are proposed scenarios where these techniques could automate processes like claims payouts using smart contracts while ensuring definitions and meanings are formally established. Open questions around symbol grounding and testing food attributes are also raised.
The document discusses the blockchain and its potential to revolutionize trust and transactions through distributed ledger technology. It provides background on blockchain, explaining that it allows digital transactions to be recorded and distributed across a network without a central authority. This could enable more efficient, secure and inclusive digital transactions by digitizing trust. The document outlines several potential uses like financial services, provenance tracking, record keeping and more. It also discusses challenges to overcome like scalability, regulation and competition between standards. Overall the document analyzes how blockchain could transform the digital economy by facilitating transactions through procedural rather than interpersonal trust.

How to avoid another identity nightmare with SSI? Christopher AllenSSIMeetup
The document discusses lessons from the Holocaust about centralized identity systems and the importance of self-sovereign identity (SSI). It notes that during WWII in the Netherlands, the Nazis were able to easily identify and round up Jews because they had access to centralized civil records. The speaker advocates for both "LESS identity" solutions that work within existing legal frameworks and "trustless identity" solutions that focus on privacy and censorship resistance. They propose that the SSI community have a moment of silence on March 27th each year to remember victims of past human rights abuses and stand in solidarity with those fighting for human rights today.

Blockchain technology and supply chain managementAhmed Banafa
Blockchain technology has the potential to transform supply chain management by increasing transparency and efficiency. It can help track products across international supply chains involving hundreds of entities. Key issues it addresses include lack of transparency, difficulty tracking products, and high costs. Blockchain provides an immutable record of transactions that all entities on the chain can see, reducing disputes. It can improve traceability by mapping supply chains and transparency by openly sharing verified data on certifications and claims in real-time. Several companies are already using blockchain to track food, diamonds, and mined materials throughout the supply chain.
Blockchains and linked data show promise for improving traceability in agrifood supply chains. Currently, linked data is not widely used in supply chains, though tracking and tracing of products is important. Blockchain technology could help address issues of trust between participants and provide an immutable record of product trajectories. One proposal is to use the EPCIS standard to generate traceability event data and expose it as linked data, storing the URIs on a blockchain to allow permanent recording of a food product's path while keeping detailed data decentralized. This could help overcome challenges around trust and permanence in the food industry.
The COVID-19 coronavirus has impacted countries, communities and individuals in countless ways, from school closures to health-care insurance issues not to undermined loss of lives.
As governments scramble to address these problems, different solutions based on blockchain technologies have sprung up to help deal with the worldwide health crisis. Blockchain will surely not prevent the emergence of new viruses itself, but what it can do is create the first line of rapid protection through a network of connected devices whose primary goal is to remain alert about disease outbreaks.
Therefore, the use of blockchain-enabled platforms can help prevent these pandemics by enabling early detection of epidemics, fast-tracking drug trials, and impact management of outbreaks and treatment.
Presentation given in Helsinki, Finland (at Microsoft Flux) on the upcoming crypto regulations in the EU, and Finland in particular, where even harder regulations are proposed to the Parliament. These regulations may very likely threaten the adaption of new technologies applied and developed especially by young startups, such as blockchain technology, Internet-of-Things, artificial intelligence (AI) and a range of modern token-based ecosystems.

27 MAJOR BLOCKCHAIN APPLICATIONS AND REAL-WORLD USES.pdfYunusAdam1
Blockchain applications now go well beyond money and bitcoin. Technology is having an impact across a wide spectrum of organizations, from contract enforcement to government efficiency, due to its ability to promote openness and justice while also saving corporations time and money. This approach offers a much broader variety of applications.
Many people focus on cryptocurrencies, their speculative value, and how they may be utilized to make – or lose – a lot of money quickly when it comes to blockchain. This, however, does not do justice to the blockchain's incredible technology. Current and future breakthroughs have the potential to alter many industries.
Blockchain technology has the potential to build trust in IoT systems by providing identity and reputation for participants, controlling access to information, and enabling efficient actions even when connectivity is intermittent. However, challenges include the need for reversibility of actions and accommodating privacy regulations, as immutability is a core blockchain principle. Overall, blockchain characteristics could help address security and data sharing issues in increasingly complex IoT ecosystems.
Its origins may be traced all the way back to the blockchain technology. There are decentralized blockchain networks. Blockchain technology is a wonderful innovation of the twenty-first century.

#DSM Digital single market. #DSM Digital single market. How can europe benefit from blockchain technologies?.
Blockchain is the best known distributed ledger technology. A ledger is
a database which keeps a final and definitive record of transactions. Records,
once stored, cannot be tampered without leaving behind a clear track. Blockchain
enables a ledger to be held in a network across a series of nodes, which avoids one
centralised location and the need for intermediaries’ services. This is particularly
helpful for providing trust, traceability and security in systems that exchange
data or assets. There is a lot of potential for blockchain to be used in many different
areas such as financial services, supply chains or healthcare.
By introducing relevant improvements in technology, blockchain networks have fully changed our way of life. Blockchain radically changes the way we live life for a good cause in many ways.
Blockchain can be used at airports and in aviation business for retail sales, ticketing, loyalty systems, identity, aircraft lifecycle management and maintenance along with source of truth for flight plan data.
Blockchain is distributed ledger that record the transactions between two parties known as blocks and are connected to each other using cryptography. Once recorded on blockchain, these transactions can't be altered or tampered with.

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
In our second session, we shall learn all about the main features and fundamentals of UiPath Studio that enable us to use the building blocks for any automation project.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.

1. 50+ EXAMPLES OF HOW
BLOCKCHAINS ARE
TAKING OVER THE
WORLD
50+ EXAMPLES OF HOW BLOCKCHAINS ARE TAKING OVER THE WORLD | ICOFORO.COM
2. GOVERNMENT
• A number of governments have expressed an interest in blockchain technology
to store public records on a decentralized data management
framework. Essential is developing an e-government pilot with Finland’s Central
Union of Agricultural Producers and Forest Owners. Blockchain will enable urban
and rural citizens throughout Finland to access records. Other use cases include
government applications such as education, public records and voting.
3. WASTE MANAGEMENT
• Walton chain's RFID technology is being used by a Smart Waste Management
System in China. Using Walton’s blockchain, the project will enable supervision
of waste levels to improve operational efficiencies and optimize resources.
4. IDENTIFICATION
• Zug in Switzerland, known as “Crypto Valley” has developed a blockchain
project in partnership with Uport to register residents’ IDs, enabling them to
participate in online voting and prove their residency.
5. BORDER CONTROL
• Essentia has been meeting with the Dutch government to create a new system
for vetting passengers traveling between Amsterdam and London. At present,
passengers on the Eurostar train between the two countries undergo border
control checks at multiple points. Essentia is studying a blockchain-based
solution that would securely store passenger data, enabling the metrics
recorded in the Netherlands to be audited by agencies in the UK. Blockchain
would provide a means of ensuring that the data has not been tampered with
and is verifiably accurate.
6. HEALTHCARE
• Medical records are notoriously scattered and erroneous, with inconsistent data
handling processes meaning hospitals and clinics are often forced to work with
incorrect or incomplete patient records. Healthcare projects such as MedRec are
using the blockchain as a means of facilitating data sharing while providing
authentication and maintaining confidentiality.
7. ENTERPRISE
• Clients of Microsoft Azure Enterprise can access the Ethereum Blockchain as a
Service. This provides businesses with access to smart contracts and blockchain
applications in a secure hosted environment.
• Google is also reported to be working on a proprietary blockchain to support its
cloud-based business. Parent company Alphabet is developing a distributed
ledger that third parties will be able to use to store data, believed to be in
regards to Google’s cloud services for enterprises, with a white label version for
companies also in the works.
8. MEDICAL
• Medical centers that have digitized their patient records don’t distribute their data across
multiple facilities, instead keeping them on-site on centralized servers. These are a prime
target for hackers, as evidenced by the ransomware attacks that struck NHS hospitals in the
UK. Even if security risks are overlooked, there is still the problem of fragmentation. There are
currently more than 50 different electronic healthcare record (eHR) software systems that
operate in different hospitals, often with dozens of different packages within the same city.
These centralized systems do not interoperate with one other and patient data ends up
scattered between disparate centers.
• In life-and-death settings, the lack of reliable data and sluggish interfaces may prove
devastating. The Essentia framework addresses all these issues by using a blockchain-powered
system that will store clinically relevant patient data and which can be immediately accessed,
regardless of geographical borders. Patient privacy is maintained on a secure decentralized
network where access is granted to only those who are medically authorized and only for the
duration needed.
9. MUSIC
• One of the main benefits of blockchain technology is the way it removes
intermediaries or middlemen. The music business is a prime example of an
industry whose inefficiencies have seen artists poorly remunerated for their
efforts. A number of blockchain-based projects have sprung up seeking a fairer
deal for music creators, including Artbit, overseen by former Guns N Roses
drummer Matt Sorum.
10. CARBON OFFSETS
• As a heavily industrialised nation, China’s environmental footprint is substantial.
In March 2017, IBM launched the Hyperledger Fabric blockchain in conjunction
with Energy-Blockchain Labs, as a means of tracking carbon assets in China. This
creates a measurable and auditable system for tracking emissions, and facilitates
a tradable market for companies seeking to offset their energy consumption
whilst incentivizing greener industrial practises.
11. SUPPLY CHAINS
• Supply chain management is seen as one of the most beneficial use cases for
blockchain, as it’s ideal for industries where goods are passed through various pairs
of hands, from beginning to end, or manufacturer to the store . IBM and Walmart
have teamed up to launch Blockchain Food Safety Alliance in China. The project, run
in conjunction with Fortune 500 company JD.com, is designed to improve food
tracking and safety, making it easier to verify that food is safe to consume.
• China is proving to be a ripe test bed for blockchain projects, for it’s also home to
the world’s first agricultural commodity blockchain. Louis Dreyfus Co, a major food
trader, has set up a project with Dutch and French banks which are used for selling
soybeans to China, with transactions settled quicker than traditional methods thanks
to the use of blockchain technology.
12. DIAMONDS
• The De Beers Group, the world’s most famous diamond company, now has its
own blockchain up and running, designed to establish a “digital record for every
diamond registered on the platform”. Given concerns about the source of
diamonds, and the ethics concerning their country of origin, coupled with the
risk of stones swapped for less value ones along the line, blockchain is a natural
fit. Because each record is indelible, it will ensure that data for each stone lasts
as long as the diamonds themselves.
13. REAL ESTATE
• Ukraine holds the honor of becoming the first nation to use blockchain to
facilitate a property deal. A property in Kiev was sold by prominent
cryptocurrency advocate and TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington. The deal
was enabled with the aid of smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain, and is
intended to be the first of many completed by Propy, a startup specializing in
blockchain-based real estate deals.
14. FISHING INDUSTRY
• Blockchain is now being used to support sustainable fishing. Illegally caught fish
is an endemic problem within the industry, and distributed ledger
technology provides a means of proving where fish were caught, processed and
sold. This ‘net-to-plate’ chain allows inspectors to determine whether fish had
come from regions notorious for human rights abuses or from countries that are
affected by economic sanctions.
15. FINE ART
• Similar to the diamond trade, the art industry is dependant on the provenance
and authenticity of artworks. While blockchain cannot authenticate a painting to
determine whether it is an original or forgery, it can be used to prove the piece’s
previous owners. In addition, blockchain is now used as a means of acquiring
art. It’s another example of how blockchain technology can be used to make
tangible objects easily tradable and exchangeable from anywhere in the world,
without the need to physically transfer them from secure storage.
16. PUBLIC UTILITIES
• In the Australian city of Fremantle, an ambitious project focused on distributed
energy and water systems is using blockchain technology. Solar panels are being
used in the sun-blessed region to capture electricity, which is then used to heat
water and provide power, and the data recorded on the blockchain.
17. LGBT RIGHTS
• Blockchain can be helpful in building the “pink economy”, as well as helping
the LGBT community to fight for their rights without revealing people’s identities.
The latter is an extremely important issue since hate crimes are a recurring
problem within the gay community, especially in countries notorious for human
rights abuses and where homosexuality is outlawed or at least frowned upon.
18. CAT BONDS
• Cat bonds can be the only hope for people who have been victims of
earthquakes, tsunamis and other natural disasters. Blockchain allows for quick
and transparent settlements between parties, and creates certainty that the
system will remain operational even without human operation. Blockchain has
now successfully been used as a cat bond settlement mechanism.
19. TOURISM
• Blockchain is being researched as a means of improving Hawaii’s economy by
giving tourists an opportunity to pay for local goods and services with bitcoin
and other currencies. This way the state’s government hopes to attract tourists,
especially from Asia, to spend more money and eventually help Hawaii to
develop economically.
20. NATIONAL SECURITY
• In 2016, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced a
project that would use blockchain as a means of securely storing and
transmitting the data it captures. Using the Factom blockchain, data retrieved
from security cameras and other sensors are encrypted and stored, using
blockchain as a means of mitigating the risk of data breaches. The project is still
ongoing.
21. SHIPPING
• Blockchain’s suitability to recording shiping data is self-evident. A number of
projects have distributed ledger technology to work in this domain, using it
within the maritime logistics industry to bring transparency to the unavoidable
bureaucracy in international trade. Maersk, one of the largest global shippers,
was the pioneer to make use of blockchain and now ZIM have picked up the
torch.
22. TAXATION
• As one of the world’s most technologically advanced countries, it’s no surprise
China has become one of the first and most prominent adopters of blockchain
and everything it offers. It has decided to use the technology to facilitate
taxation and electronic invoice issuance in a project headed by Miaocai Network
in conjunction with the State Administration of Taxation.
23. MOBILE PAYMENTS
• Cryptocurrencies with its underlying blockchain technology is being used to
facilitate mobile payments in a wide range of projects. One of the latest
initiatives announced, scheduled to launch in the fall of 2018, will involve
a consortium of Japanese banks. They’ll be using Ripple’s technology to enable
instant mobile payments.
24. LAND REGISTRY
• Blockchain once again proves that it’s not just applicable in the crypto space and
by small companies. The government of Georgia uses it to register land titles.
They have created a custom-designed blockchain system and integrated it into
the digital records system of the National Agency of Public Registry (NAPR).
Georgia is now taking advantage of the transparency and fraud reduction
offered by blockchain technology.
25. COMPUTATION
• Amazon Web Services have collaborated with Digital Currency Group (DCG) to
improve their database security with the help of blockchain. They will provide a
platform for DCG’s startups to work, as well as technical support for their
projects.
26. INSURANCE
• Blockchain in the insurance industry is often talked about, but many don’t know
the technology has already been implemented. For instance, Insurer American
International Group Inc, in partnership with International Business Machines
Corp, has completed a pilot of a so-called “smart contract” multi-national policy
for Standard Chartered Bank PLC and plans to manage complex international
coverage through blockchain.
27. ENDANGERED SPECIES PROTECTION
• A man is a wolf to another man, and an even bigger wolf to animals. ‘Care for
the Uncared’ is an NGO that is working with leading developers to find a way to
preserve and protect endangered species using blockchain technologies.
28. ADVERTISING
• New York Interactive Advertising Exchange in partnership with Nasdaq is using
blockchain to create a marketplace where brands, publishers and agencies can
buy ads. The process is simple, though as secure as it can potentially be, using
an open protocol on the Ethereum blockchain.
29. JOURNALISM
• Permanence is now a hot topic in the journalism trade. One wrong move and
years of hard work and research could go down the drain. Blockchain is one
smart solution to the problem. Civil, a decentralized journalism marketplace,
apart from obvious blockchain benefits, offers an economic incentive model for
quality news content, coupled with the ability to permanently archive content,
which will remain accessible at any time in perpetuity.
30. SMART CITIES
• Smart cities are not the stuff of science-fiction anymore. Taipei is attempting to
position itself as a city of the future with the help of Distributed Ledger
Technology. It has announced a partnership with IOTA and they are already
working on creating cards with light, temperature, humidity and pollution
detection.
31. OIL INDUSTRY
• One of the leading players in the commodity market, S&P Global Platts, is
trialling a blockchain solution that’s being used to record oil storage data.
Weekly inventories will be stored on the blockchain, reducing the need for
manual data management and minimizing the chance of human error.
32. RAILWAYS
• In Russia, rail operator Novotrans is using blockchain technology with a goal to
improve the speed of its operations. The company, which is one of the largest
rolling stock operators in the country, will be using blockchain to record data
pertaining to repair requests, inventory and other matters pertaining to their
operations. The idea is that blockchain records will be more resistant to
tampering and data corruption..
33. GAMING
• One of the most influential companies in the gaming industry, Ubisoft, is
researching on how to implement blockchain into its video games. Specifically,
it’s focusing on the ownership and transfer of in-game items such as rewards
and digital collectibles. These have already been successfully demonstrated in
action using the Ethereum blockchain.
34. CAR LEASING
• Blockchain’s distributed ledger technology is ideally suited to registering records
of any kind in a secure and unalterable manner. One such use case being
developed by Essentia is the vehicle rental industry. Major rental companies will
be able to utilize Essentia’s blockchain protocol to store customer data, fully
encrypted and shareable on a permissioned basis with relevant parties.
35. ENERGY DISTRIBUTION
• One of the biggest challenges facing the energy industry, companies in the
habit of trading surplus supply need infallible record keeping. Tracking energy
allocations in real time, and ensuring efficient distribution through the supply
chain requires multiple data points, and also mandates close cooperation
between all entities. Essentia is developing a test project with a number of major
energy suppliers that will help them track the distribution of resources in real
time, whilst maintaining data confidentiality at all times
