additional remarks The potential of blockchain systems continues beyond cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (Swan 2015): intelligent contracts (Buterin 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. An example in the government domain 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 is the energy infrastructure domain: Power generation and use are increasingly decentralized and, consequently, smart homes are in a position to directly participate in an energy without being dependent on a provider. In this course, we will provide you an introduction to basic concepts (Wattenhofer 2016), an overview of blockchain systems currently used in practice, as well as a technical introduction to developing with a number of systems (e.g. Ethereum, Hyperledger Fabric and BigchainDB) . In a second step, we – together with participating companies – will introduce you to "challenges" from different domains (e.g. public administration / energy / manufacturing / supply chains). You will work and prototypically develop as well as demonstrate a solution to one challenge. Successful groups will be given the opportunity to participate in a Blockchain Lab, where their prototype will be included in the existing infrastructure that would simulate a real-world setup. Further details will be presented at the info-event: 31. January 2019, 15:30, fortiss (Guerickestrasse 25), room Ada.
