The revolutionary invention of blockchain is still a controversial topic, and Intellectsoft software development company is about to bring clarity in it. Being the leader in blockchain developing and consulting, it explains in simpler words the elegance of using this brand-new technology as a business decision. Specifically, the company facilitates the understanding of blockchain by both offering the readers essential facts about the innovation and creating applicable recommendations for further practical implementation.
To start with, Intellectsoft provides an overview of blockchain essentials, investigating the nature of this technology along with its structural elements. As a result, a key concepts of blockchain, including digital fingerprinting and access keys, are no longer a mystery for readers. Furthermore, the opportunities of Smart Contracts and mining are explained. In these sections, Intellectsoft already illustrates previously presented theoretical assumptions with practical examples. And the overview achieves a higher clarity, which facilitates the task of developing a blockchain decision for anyone interested. Then, the presentation proceeds to the question of blockchain real-time applications. This includes providing the list of industries that can benefit the most from the innovation and the real advantages their representatives can gain. The special attention is paid to financial services, government, and healthcare, among others. Finally, after describing the major differences between private and public blockchain, Intellectsoft creates recommendations for those interested in the implementation of this decision into business. And after reading, you will get much closer to the decision whether blockchain really deserves its place in your business practice specifically.

Blockchain Application Design and Development, and the Case of Programmable M...Ingo Weber
Slides from my CLOSER 2021 keynote ( https://www.insticc.org/node/TechnicalProgram/closer/2021/presentationDetails/1390 )
Blockchain has emerged as a decentralized platform for managing digital assets and executing 'smart contracts', i.e., user-defined code. While blockchain's suitability for a given use case should always be scrutinized, it does have the potential to disrupt many of the connection points between individuals, companies, and government entities. In this keynote talk, I will provide an overview of what architects and developers need to know in order to build blockchain-based applications, and how it relates to the cloud and software services. Among others, I will cover blockchain-as-a-service concepts, as well as architectural concerns and model-driven engineering for blockchain applications, the latter also in relation to collaborative business processes. To highlight some of the challenges, I will discuss insights from a project on "programmable money", i.e., blockchain-based money for conditional payments where the money itself checks whether it can be spent in a certain way at the point of payment. Finally, I will touch on insights into current adoption of blockchain.

Software Architecture and Model-driven Engineering for Blockchain ApplicationsIngo Weber
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
Blockchain and Smart Contracts (Series: Blockchain Basics)Financial Poise
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?

Analysing Data from Blockchains - Keynote @ SOCCA 2020Ingo Weber
Keynote at the Symposium on Cryptocurrency Analysis (SOCCA 2020). Content:
In order to analyse how concrete blockchain systems as well as blockchain applications are used, data must be extracted from these systems. Due to various complexities inherent in blockchain, the question how to interpret such data is non-trivial. Such interpretation should often be shared among parties, e.g., if they collaborate via a blockchain. To this end, we devised an approach codify the interpretation of blockchain data, to extract data from blockchains accordingly, and to output it in suitable formats -- see https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.10281.
In addition, application developers and users of blockchain applications may want to estimate the cost of using or op- erating a blockchain application. In the keynote, I will also discuss our cost estimation method.
Blockchain is one of the trending technology that is catching up in the tech space. It solves multiple use cases where the data integrity should be high. In this ppt, the author has worked on explaining the concepts in a simple and elegant way

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
