IBM Positions Blockchain as Networked Computing Backbone With OpenBlockchain
IBM launches its Openblockhain repository on GitHub under the liberal Apache license. OpenBlockchain represents a significant milestone in blockchain development, as the non-copyleft open source licensing allows the business enterprise community to start serious Hyperledger development using the tool. IBM Releases Vital Blockchain Development Tool. IBM’s involvement in the Linux Foundation’s Hyperledger Project spurred the release of this blockchain development framework, and the release represents the start of a new era in networking – with applications using advanced blockchain....

The Blockchain. In an article appearing on the Startup Management website, author William Mougayar argues that the blockchain technology might radically change the way software engineers develop applications in the future. According to Mr. Mougayar, the technology behind the blockchain represents a completely different paradigm in software design. Five concepts come into play that would enable the new computing paradigm. They are the blockchain, decentralized consensus, trusted computing, smart contracts and proof-of-work/stake. These concepts will play a decisive role in developing the....
One of the largest and oldest organizations for computing professionals will kick off its annual conference on the future of mobile cloud computing tomorrow, where blockchain is scheduled to be one of the attractions. With more than 421,000 members in 260 countries, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) holding such a high-profile event has the potential to accelerate the rate of blockchain adoption by the engineering community. At the four-day conference, beginning Tuesday, the IEEE will host five blockchain seminars at the 702-year-old Exeter College of Oxford. The....
For several years now, kindly volunteers have been contributing their spare computing power to vast, distributed supercomputers, all in the name of worthy causes. Spare computing cycles have been used for everything from scanning cosmic radio signals for signs of extraterrestrial life through to calculating climate change scenarios. Now, a new project hopes to let people charge for their spare computing cycles. Traditionally, in a community grid project, one central resource (such as SETI@Home) co-ordinates thousands of volunteer computers in a cloud, relying on people giving up their....
