Fog demonstrates navigating and inspecting blocks, transactions, and sample contract source code and structs. Future work includes finishing session management, adding events support, and improving the AST definition.
This document provides an overview of blockchain technology and its applications for business. It defines blockchain as a distributed ledger that records transactions in grouped blocks chained together using cryptography. Blockchains can be public, private, or consortium. For business, blockchain enables shared ledgers and smart contracts to facilitate transactions across organizations more efficiently while reducing costs, risks of tampering, and increasing trust through transparency.
Socket.IO enables real-time bidirectional communication between web applications and servers through features like instant messaging, chat, and document collaboration. It uses the WebSocket protocol for modern browsers and falls back to other technologies for older browsers, making it transport independent. Socket.IO has both server-side and client-side libraries so real-time updates can be sent from the server to all connected clients. An example is an input box where any text entered will instantly update a label for all users except the one typing.

Blockchain technology originated from the first application developed by Satoshi Nakamoto called Bitcoin. Blockchains use a sequential chain of blocks connected via hashes to securely store data in a way that makes retrospective modification impossible. This structure provides decentralization, integrity through consensus, and authentication via private keys.
Popular blockchain applications include cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, which use public ledgers and cryptography to securely record and verify transactions. Smart contracts automate processes like payments when programmed conditions are met. Blockchains can track other assets and data through applications in areas like supply chain management, healthcare records, and property records. Commercializing blockchain requires building technical solutions, financial models, intellectual property protection, and effective marketing strategies to tap into the
The document discusses how XML Key Management Services (XKMS) provides a standard for managing public keys and certificates through web services, allowing for simpler and more interoperable security such as XML signatures and encryption for web services. XKMS acts as a central repository for public keys that can be accessed through web methods, reducing the complexity and cost of traditional PKI solutions while still enabling secure authentication, encryption, and validation of signatures. The paper argues that XKMS provides the foundation for secure data exchanges by integrating public key management into a network's authentication and authorization systems.
Blockchain is a digital, distributed ledger that records transactions in near real time and requires network consensus to add new transactions.

『Python, Oracle Cloud, Blockchain & Cryptocurrency - The Perfect Combination』
Data Intensity - Director of Innovation Francisco Munoz Alvarez 氏
What is Blockchain? Is it ‘just another’ buzzword or is it ‘the next big thing?’ In this session the presenter will discuss the world of Blockchain. What is it exactly, and how shall it change the world and what are the practical usages? During this presentation we discuss how an enterprise Blockchain can be used in combination with the Oracle Container Cloud and how it replaces commonly known B2B patterns. The audience will get a general picture of Blockchain, why and how to use it, and a small introduction to start building their own.
Blockchain or Cryptocurrency?
This document provides an overview of blockchain and cryptocurrency concepts and technologies. It begins with distinguishing between cryptocurrencies and blockchains, noting that cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin use cryptography and combine the role of currency on blockchains. The document then discusses what enterprise blockchains are and some of their benefits compared to public blockchains like Bitcoin. It also summarizes some common blockchain frameworks used by enterprises and compares transaction speeds. The document concludes by discussing how organizations can gain competitive advantages by leveraging blockchain technologies.
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.
Blockchain and Services – Exploring the LinksIngo Weber
In this keynote talk, given at the ASSRI Symposium 2018, I explore four different facets of the relationship between Blockchain and Services.
First, application-level service interfaces for interaction with Blockchain-based applications enable easy integration with existing infrastructure. Second, service composition can be achieved through smart contracts, and enable different approaches to orchestrations and choreographies. Third, Blockchain-aaS offerings cover infrastructure operation, but can go beyond that. And finally, microservice principles can be applied to smart contract design.
A fast paced review of blockchain technology, applications, architectural characteristics and programming, using Ethereum as the main example.

Authorization and Authentication in Microservice EnvironmentsLeanIX GmbH
Loggin in to a website seems easy. But what seems so simple, is only easy as long as the website is based on a monolith in the background. But what happens, if there are lots of microservices at work? How do the microservices know that the user is who he is and how can this be achieved efficiently? The use of JSON Web Tokens (JWT) can be a solution.

Plone 5.2 migration at University Ghent, BelgiumAndreas Jung
This talk summarizes our #Plone migration approach of the Plone installation at ugent.be. The migration process consists of the export of the original site to JSON using collective.jsonify, import of the data to ArangoDB and then back into a fresh Plone site through plone.restapi
This document discusses migrating 10 Plone sites from Plone 4.1/4.3 to Plone 5.1 using plone.restapi. The goals were a consistent look and feel, common code base with fewer dependencies, and consistent deployment. A custom provisioning API was built to handle site creation, content migration, and other tasks. The migration process extracted content from source sites and recreated it in the target Plone 5 sites using plone.api calls over HTTP. Most structures and content migrated automatically, with some manual work needed for default pages, collections, and other content. Lessons learned were that the approach was stable, reasonably fast, and could be adopted for other migrations.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.

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?
