Assignment to Modules

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. This course focuses on the analysis of possible use cases and the implementation of suitable DLT- and Blockchain-based solutions in different domains. Although the basic concepts of DLT and Blockchain (see e.g. Wattenhofer 2016) as well as fundamental technical functionalities of different systems currently relevant in practice (e.g. Ethereum and Hyperledger Fabric) will be briefly reviewed at the beginning, there will be no in-depth technical introduction to DLT and Blockchain technologies in this course. Therefore, as a participant of this course, you should have already attended/attend the lecture on this topic offered at TUM (Blockchain-based Systems Engineering (IN2359), Peer-to-Peer Systems and Security (IN2194)), or have already acquired initial knowledge in this area elsewhere. Together with partners from practice, we present interesting and real world challenges from different domains such as public administration/energy/manufacturing/supply chains, for which you will develop, implement, and demonstrate practical DLT-based solutions in groups during an intensive processing phase. We as well as a respective partner will support you with technical and professional questions during this process. The clear goal of the course is to produce results that can be further used by the partners. Therefore, 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: 07th of February 2023, 11:00. Details regarding the info-event will be sent to you upon registration via informal mail to momcilovic@fortiss.org.

The kick-off, two full days approx. end of April, is mandatory. You can apply via the matching system. Please send us (momcilovic@fortiss.org) a brief letter of motivation (max 1 page, including your GitHub account if you have one) as well as your current transcript of records until 10.02.2023. Please add the keyword DLT4PI in the subject. Your input will be considered for prioritization in the matching system.
