1 Milestone - deadline February 27, 2024

Dear Students,

The goal of this first milestone is to learn about the context of the course by studying existing projects: EBSI-VECTOR, Swarmchestrate, DECENTER, ONTOCHAIN, TRUSTCHAIN, BUILDCHAIN, ExtremeXP, ACES, ESSA, as well as scientific references of our Fog Computing research group. See for example a comprehensive overview of ONTOCHAIN and its technologies here: https://ontochain.ngi.eu/selected-projects

The deadline for this milestone is February 27, 2024, at 17:00 CET. 

I expect an individually written document from your side of up to 1 page, font 11, 

- containing a list of all investigated projects and documents,

- your selection of 2-3 key technologies of your interest, and 

- your selection of 1-2 application topics of your interest for your seminar. 

Please explain what, why, and how: your understanding how these disruptive technologies can be used to build smart - decentralised applications. 

Imagine that the above-mentioned projects represent pieces of a mosaic. Then we need to learn how to identify key baseline technologies. We also need to learn how to combine them to build innovative new decentralised applications. 

At lectures today I am going to present some key technologies and some ideas for decentralised applications. 

Our ideas for project works are published here for you to consider which project to join.

With best regards, 

Vlado Stankovski
