Assignment Description
A report containing a complete discussion and analysis of the given topic in the required context
needs to be submitted on Moodle. The report must have following parts:
Part 1: Blockchain
The students explore network application management of Blockchain by reviewing the literature on
the internet as papers, book chapters, and independent scholarly reports by experts, and research
based videos. Students participating in the PBL are taught how to do the critical thinking for review
of literature. At least three articles related to technology supporting Blockchain need to be analysed
in depth by discussing the overall contribution, scope and limitations of each research work.
Following aspects related to Blockchain must be discussed:

	Architecture
	Features
	Challenges

Part 2: Applications of Blockchain
Students need to discuss at least one application in EACH of the following domains supported by
Blockchain:

	Currency
	Smart contracts

Part 3: Socio-Technical aspects
The move of traditional computing and storage to decentralised Blockchain has a social bearing on
its users and how they perceive these new applications. The socio-technical aspects of the
applications mentioned in part 2 need to be discussed in detail.
Turnitin Submission
All assignments should be submitted via Turnitin and the similarity reports should be looked at
carefully before the due-date, as students should make sure that there is no plagiarism of any type.
