IN2106: Master-Praktikum / Advanced Practical Course
This module is included in the following catalogs:
- Further Modules from Other Disciplines

Further Information

Courses are together with exams the building blocks for modules. Please keep in mind that information on the contents, learning outcomes and, especially examination conditions are given on the module level only – see section "Assignment to Modules" above.

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: 03. February 2021, 11:00, participation link upon registration via informal mail to buchinger@fortiss.org. In order to apply, you need to be registered as a student on TUMonline. The kick-off (two full days on the 19. and 20. of April 2021) is mandatory. You can apply via the matching system. Please send a brief letter of motivation (max 1 page, including your GitHub account if you have one) until 10.02.2021 – please add the keyword DLT4PI in the subject! It will be considered for prioritization in the matching system. Everyone who is not assigned through the matching system, will be put on the waiting list automatically. If a participant position becomes vacant, a random pick for the waiting list will be informed. Please understand that we are unable to answer any requests outside the matching system due to an expected high demand.
