additional remarks The potential of blockchain systems continues beyond cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (Swan 2015): intelligent contracts (Qatar 2014), decentralized autonomous organizations (Jentzsch) or new governance systems (Reijers et al., 2016). The innovation potential for the redesign and management of processes is recognizable (Mendling et al., 2017) and can be applied to various domains. The example of the public administration states that all forms of registers that have a publicly verifiable transaction history and whose content can be manipulated are basically suitable for a blockchain implementation (Dapp / Balta / Krcmar 2017). Another example contribution to the energy provider: Power generation and use are increasingly decentralized and follow, for example, smart homes in a position to more recently on the power network participants, without becoming dependent on a provider. In this course you will get an introduction to the basic concepts (Wattenhofer 2016), an overview of blockchain systems currently used in practice, as well as a technical introduction to two systems, Ethereum, Hyperledger Fabric and BigchainDB. The concepts of the practices for the collection of the consultants of the consultants of the consultants. In the second part of a group "challenges" from the domain public administration / energy / manufacturing / supply chains work and prototypically develop and demonstrate a solution. For this time, a hackathon is planned, another guest lectures and the intermediate presentation will be after the time (by appointment). The results will be used further: Successful groups will be given the opportunity to participate in an experiment in an experimental room, where a prototype of a test position will be implemented.
