Distributed ledger technology (DLT) is a decentralized method for record keeping that provides more security than traditional databases. It has applications across many industries, including banking, supply chain management, and healthcare. In banking, DLT can be used to build digital wallets and ledgers for storing and transferring assets. Many companies are exploring its use, such as JPMorgan Chase which introduced a stablecoin. DLT also improves supply chain transparency and accountability. Walmart uses blockchain to trace pork from China, while De Beers uses it to track diamonds. In healthcare, DLT can be used to manage private health records and track drug supplies more securely.
Blockchain can be used across the whole manufacturing industry to address all different types of projects and stakeholders. Its value to the manufacturing vertical is promising as Industry 4.0 continues to grow.

Distributed Ledger Technology as Financial Market InfrastructureTim Swanson
Tim Swanson discusses the challenges of building modern financial market infrastructure (FMI) using distributed ledger technology (DLT). FMI requires international collaboration between regulated participants, unlike individual entrepreneurs building social media platforms. Regulations govern areas like capital requirements, data privacy, and smart contract legal issues across jurisdictions. Central bank-issued digital currencies (CBDCs) could allow direct peer-to-peer transactions without intermediaries, but differ from cryptocurrencies by being tied to a central bank and monetary policy. Key challenges for DLT in financial services include governance, scalability, security, integration with existing systems, identity, and legal recognition of smart contracts.
Exploring Blockchain Technology, Risks, and Emerging TrendsAmazon Web Services
Blockchain has become a hot topic for enterprises, start-ups, entrepreneurs, and regulatory bodies. Born from bitcoin in 2008, blockchain's promise of a distributed ledger has far greater implications than cryptocurrency. Companies are now beginning to understand its disruptive potential and are experimenting with its most promising applications. But, few companies have asked the more fundamental question: Are we ready to adopt a shared public database for financial transactions? In this session, we cover the concepts of blockchain and use cases in the enterprise. We also demonstrate blockchain in use and show how to implement it using AWS services.

This document discusses opportunities and challenges for blockchain technology in the insurance industry. It begins by explaining what blockchains and bitcoin are, highlighting key characteristics like security, transparency, and low transaction costs. Blockchains could reduce insurance fraud by providing permanent ledgers and could enable smart contracts to automate certain insurance processes. However, smart contracts still require an "oracle" to verify events in the physical world. The document examines how blockchains could impact different parts of the insurance value chain and considers several real-world blockchain insurance projects and examples.
This document discusses potential use cases for private blockchain technology in government applications. It outlines several key use cases including:
- Improving public utilities like payments, energy distribution, and infrastructure management through more secure and efficient transactions.
- Enhancing logistics and supply chain management by providing advanced communication between parties, increased data access and reliability to reduce costs.
- Advancing healthcare data analytics to track disease outbreaks, as well as improving research collaborations and controlled substance tracking.
- Modernizing finance applications like digital currency, public financing, accounting/auditing, and licensing records management between states.

Blockchain Beyond the Hype. A Practical Framework for Business Leaders. This common sense and practical framework is designed
to assist executives in understanding whether blockchain
is an appropriate and helpful tool for their business needs.
It starts from the premise that blockchain is merely a
technology – much like many others that are already used
in society – and like other technologies it is as much about
change management and careful attention to the economics
and business models of industries and companies involved
as it is about technology evangelism. For any organization,
blockchain technology should not be a goal in itself but a
tool deployed to achieve specific purposes.

The Six Biggest Blockchain Trends Everyone Should Know About In 2021Bernard Marr
Blockchain has been one of the most talked-about tech trends of the last few years. As with many other trends that were important before the pandemic hit, it didn't make as many headlines in 2021 as it has done previously. But development has been ongoing and the year saw continued adoption of the technology throughout many industries and sectors.
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.
The Blockchain is a technology created with the bitcoin, which has become the world's 8th currency in terms of amounts exchanged. The Blockchain brings with it new promises of innovation in all sectors, but also of disruption of dominant economic models. By taking an interest now in its potential applications, we can be one step ahead of the next stage of the digital revolution and the advent of a "horizontal" society,
without intermediaries or centralized authority...
The Blockchain is probably set to revolutionize transactions and exchanges; in the same way that Internet enabled peer-to-peer communication, in the years to come the Blockchain will provide the means for peer-to-peer transactions under a decentralized and autonomous rationale.
1) Blockchain technology is a new form of database that allows transactions to be recorded in a distributed ledger that is shared, replicated, and synchronized across multiple locations. No single entity controls the ledger.
2) Blockchain technology could generate significant cost savings for large financial institutions by reducing the need for reconciliation of different databases and facilitating faster transaction settlement.
3) While the first commercial uses of blockchain technology are expected later this year, it will likely take 5-10 years for the technology to become mainstream as standards are developed and more trials are conducted.

The document summarizes the key drivers of the rise of collaborative consumption as an economic trend:
1) Resource depletion due to unsustainable consumption patterns has led to scarcity of resources like water, biodiversity, minerals, and topsoil. This reflects a state similar to "peak oil" where demand outstrips supply.
2) The 2007/2008 financial crisis and resulting recession triggered job losses, stagnating wages, and decreased asset values. Governments implemented austerity measures that further rattled economies.
3) Technological innovation enabled new digital platforms and sharing networks through smartphones, social media, and cloud computing. These reduced transaction costs and matched supply with demand.
4) Younger generations like Millenn
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAUpanagenda
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
