middot A discussion on the current blockchain landscape -where technologies like Ethereum Tangle HyperledgerFabric FlureeDB and others solve problems andwhere they do not

middot Consensus when to use it and its hidden costs - as adefining characteristic of blockchain consensus isimportant for decentralized applications But thestandard Enterprise application needs to store moredata than any public blockchain could reasonablyhandle - and most application data does not needblockchain consensus Brian offers the solution inpartitioning data sets to lie on multiple DistributedLedgers some with blockchain consensus (eitherpublic or shared) and some kept completely internally

While blockchain yields an impressive list of benefitsto business applications and business processes it isa technology that few understand and are able to useeffectively Thatrsquos because such obstacles as costcomplexity and lack of resources hinderimplementation This session will provide an overviewon building out blockchain applications - what steps totake to analyze design develop implement andevaluate a decentralized application that leveragesblockchain in a truly utilitarian manner - whatstakeholders to involve questions to ask andresources to leverage

Additional items on the agenda

middot The Blockchain Application Stack Blueprint - howblockchain fits into both the data and client tiers of anapplication stack

middot A discussion on the current blockchain landscape -where technologies like Ethereum Tangle HyperledgerFabric FlureeDB and others solve problems andwhere they do not

middot Consensus when to use it and its hidden costs - as adefining characteristic of blockchain consensus isimportant for decentralized applications But thestandard Enterprise application needs to store moredata than any public blockchain could reasonablyhandle - and most application data does not needblockchain consensus Brian offers the solution inpartitioning data sets to lie on multiple DistributedLedgers some with blockchain consensus (eitherpublic or shared) and some kept completely internally

Building Enterprise Blockchain Applications

215pm - 330pmState Room

While blockchain yields an impressive list of benefitsto business applications and business processes it isa technology that few understand and are able to useeffectively Thatrsquos because such obstacles as costcomplexity and lack of resources hinderimplementation This session will provide an overviewon building out blockchain applications - what steps totake to analyze design develop implement andevaluate a decentralized application that leveragesblockchain in a truly utilitarian manner - whatstakeholders to involve questions to ask andresources to leverage

Additional items on the agenda

middot The Blockchain Application Stack Blueprint - howblockchain fits into both the data and client tiers of anapplication stack

middot A discussion on the current blockchain landscape -where technologies like Ethereum Tangle HyperledgerFabric FlureeDB and others solve problems andwhere they do not

middot Consensus when to use it and its hidden costs - as adefining characteristic of blockchain consensus isimportant for decentralized applications But thestandard Enterprise application needs to store moredata than any public blockchain could reasonablyhandle - and most application data does not needblockchain consensus Brian offers the solution inpartitioning data sets to lie on multiple DistributedLedgers some with blockchain consensus (eitherpublic or shared) and some kept completely internally

Building Enterprise Blockchain Applications

215pm - 330pmState Room

While blockchain yields an impressive list of benefitsto business applications and business processes it isa technology that few understand and are able to useeffectively Thatrsquos because such obstacles as costcomplexity and lack of resources hinderimplementation This session will provide an overviewon building out blockchain applications - what steps totake to analyze design develop implement andevaluate a decentralized application that leveragesblockchain in a truly utilitarian manner - whatstakeholders to involve questions to ask andresources to leverage

Additional items on the agenda

middot The Blockchain Application Stack Blueprint - howblockchain fits into both the data and client tiers of anapplication stack

middot A discussion on the current blockchain landscape -where technologies like Ethereum Tangle HyperledgerFabric FlureeDB and others solve problems andwhere they do not

middot Consensus when to use it and its hidden costs - as adefining characteristic of blockchain consensus isimportant for decentralized applications But thestandard Enterprise application needs to store moredata than any public blockchain could reasonablyhandle - and most application data does not needblockchain consensus Brian offers the solution inpartitioning data sets to lie on multiple DistributedLedgers some with blockchain consensus (eitherpublic or shared) and some kept completely internally
