It also covers API gateways, service discovery, asynchronous messaging vs RPC-style communication, circuit breakers, cross-cutting concerns, and passing access tokens from gateways to services.
Blockchain Application Design and Development, and the Case of Programmable M...Ingo Weber
Slides from my CLOSER 2021 keynote ( https://www.insticc.org/node/TechnicalProgram/closer/2021/presentationDetails/1390 )
Blockchain has emerged as a decentralized platform for managing digital assets and executing 'smart contracts', i.e., user-defined code. While blockchain's suitability for a given use case should always be scrutinized, it does have the potential to disrupt many of the connection points between individuals, companies, and government entities. In this keynote talk, I will provide an overview of what architects and developers need to know in order to build blockchain-based applications, and how it relates to the cloud and software services. Among others, I will cover blockchain-as-a-service concepts, as well as architectural concerns and model-driven engineering for blockchain applications, the latter also in relation to collaborative business processes. To highlight some of the challenges, I will discuss insights from a project on "programmable money", i.e., blockchain-based money for conditional payments where the money itself checks whether it can be spent in a certain way at the point of payment. Finally, I will touch on insights into current adoption of blockchain.

1. It explains the key components of blockchain including cryptography, peer-to-peer networks, and programming.
2. It demonstrates how to set up and run a private blockchain using the Multichain platform in 10 minutes.
3. It briefly introduces Hyperledger as an alternative open source blockchain platform supported by major companies.
The new digital era is knocking our doors, and these are arguably the most exciting times post invention of internet itself. Open your doors to the new advanced digital world, which promises to simplify and automate a lot of things around. In the list of remarkable technologies that promise to change the world, is Blockchain.
Conceived in 2008, this concept is generating a lot of buzz. This presentation discusses about this technology, working mechanism in case of Bitcoin, and its use cases beyond crypto-curreinces.
Architecture of the Hyperledger Blockchain Fabric - Christian Cachin - IBM Re...Romeo Kienzler
This document summarizes the architecture of the Hyperledger blockchain fabric framework. It describes how Hyperledger fabric implements a permissioned blockchain using Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus. Key aspects covered include the use of smart contracts, separation of transaction endorsement from ordering, and how privacy and confidentiality are achieved through techniques like pseudonymous transactions and encrypted state. The document also discusses ongoing work to further improve scalability and flexibility of the Hyperledger fabric design.
This document discusses private blockchains and how they differ from public blockchains. It explains that private blockchains are permissioned shared databases that use blockchain technology like cryptography and consensus algorithms to provide trust between entities that have limited trust. While they don't have the same properties as public blockchains like immutability and anonymity, private blockchains can enable use cases like financial settlement, provenance tracking, and interorganizational record keeping where a centralized database is not ideal due to lack of trust or need for disintermediation. The document addresses criticisms of private blockchains and blockchain technology in general. It also introduces the MultiChain platform for deploying private blockchains.
Blockchains and Smart Contracts: Architecture Design and Model-Driven Develop...Ingo Weber
The document discusses research conducted by Data61's Architecture and Analytics Platforms (AAP) team on blockchains and smart contracts. The research includes developing a taxonomy and design process for architecting applications on blockchain, comparing the cost of using blockchain versus cloud services for business process execution, using architectural modeling to predict latency for blockchain-based systems, and developing a model-driven approach to define and execute smart contracts for monitoring and executing collaborative business processes across untrusted organizations.
This document provides an overview of the anatomy of a Hyperledger application. It describes the key components including the Hyperledger architecture, application components, smart contracts, permissioned ledger access, and how applications interact with the blockchain network. The Hyperledger architecture supports various participants like developers, users, and network operators. Applications use smart contracts to interact with the ledger, while smart contracts encapsulate business logic and transactions. Permissioned access controls who can access the ledger through the use of certificates. The document also provides examples of how applications, smart contracts, and external systems integrate with the permissioned ledger.
Hyperledger is an open source collaborative effort started by The Linux Foundation to develop cross-industry blockchain technologies. It brings together leaders in various industries to build blockchain frameworks and platforms through independent software development communities. The goal is to advance open protocols and standards by providing a modular backbone for different blockchain components and services around identity, access control, and smart contracts. Companies fund the Hyperledger project through membership fees to The Linux Foundation.
MultiChain technology allows organizations to establish private blockchains using a simple API and command line interface. It ensures transactions only occur between validated participants of the chain to maintain stability and control. The mining process is made safer through proof of work and costs. Handshaking occurs when nodes connect and exchange permission lists, aborting if results are unsatisfactory. Mining diversity establishes a rotation schedule for accurate block generation across permitted miners. Transaction fees and block incentives can be configured in the params.dat file along with other chain settings.
Analysing Data from Blockchains - Keynote @ SOCCA 2020Ingo Weber
Keynote at the Symposium on Cryptocurrency Analysis (SOCCA 2020). Content:
In order to analyse how concrete blockchain systems as well as blockchain applications are used, data must be extracted from these systems. Due to various complexities inherent in blockchain, the question how to interpret such data is non-trivial. Such interpretation should often be shared among parties, e.g., if they collaborate via a blockchain. To this end, we devised an approach codify the interpretation of blockchain data, to extract data from blockchains accordingly, and to output it in suitable formats -- see https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.10281.
In addition, application developers and users of blockchain applications may want to estimate the cost of using or op- erating a blockchain application. In the keynote, I will also discuss our cost estimation method.
Blockchain is a distributed ledger that maintains a permanent record of transactions in a peer-to-peer network. Each computer in the network maintains a copy of the ledger to prevent a single point of failure. Blockchain consists of blocks of validated transactions that are linked using cryptography. It allows transactions to be recorded and validated without the need for a central authority. Blockchain has applications in finance, healthcare, and other industries by automating processes and removing trust issues through transparency. However, blockchain also faces challenges from its current limitations in scalability and regulation.

Hyperledger Sawtooth Lake Intel's OSS Contribution to Enterprise BlockchainAltoros
Sawtooth Lake is an open source distributed ledger project within Hyperledger. It uses a blockchain architecture where each node holds a copy of the shared ledger and transactions are grouped into blocks and chained together cryptographically. Sawtooth Lake allows for modular transaction families that encapsulate business logic and smart contracts. The latest release focuses on improvements to transaction processing, including parallel execution and multi-language support.
Blockchain is a decentralized database that maintains a continuously growing list of records called blocks. Each block contains transaction data and a link to the previous block. The first block is special as it has no preceding block. Blocks are linked through cryptography, forming a chain. Miners process transactions by solving complex math problems to find new blocks and receive rewards. The first application was Bitcoin, solving the double spending problem without a central authority. Other applications include Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, and SolarCoin. Key variables that impact the blockchain include block size, header size, and transaction size.
This document provides an introduction to blockchain technology. It begins with defining blockchain as a distributed ledger that stores transactions immutably and cryptographically. It then discusses the history of blockchain by using the analogy of decentralized currency with rai stones in Yapis island. It explains how a centralized ledger with a bookkeeper evolved into a decentralized system where each family maintains their own ledger. The document goes on to describe how blockchain works, including the anatomy of blocks, typical transactions, validation through consensus, and the use of smart contracts. Finally, it outlines some common use cases and types of blockchain networks before opening for questions.
Metadata in the Blockchain: The OP_RETURN ExplosionCoin Sciences Ltd
With the addition of OP_RETURN outputs in version 0.9, it became possible to attach arbitrary pieces of information to bitcoin transactions. This turns bitcoin into a low-level communications protocol, just like TCP/IP, on which many new applications can be built.
Despite its powerful features, bitcoin is also limited, costly and inefficient compared to TCP/IP. After discussing which sorts of applications make this trade-off worthwhile, we talk about CoinSpark, a new open source protocol for enhancing bitcoin transactions, which makes extensive use of OP_RETURNs.

Ethereum is a blockchain platform that allows developers to build and deploy decentralized applications. It uses cryptocurrency and blockchain technology similar to Bitcoin, but also enables smart contracts and decentralized applications. Some key points:
- Ethereum was co-founded in 2013 by Vitalik Buterin and allows developers to build decentralized applications and services using smart contracts.
- It uses blockchain technology to maintain a distributed ledger of transactions across a peer-to-peer network. Blocks are produced roughly every 12 seconds through a proof-of-work system.
- Smart contracts are programs stored on the blockchain that execute automatically based on predetermined conditions. They are written in Solidity and run on the Ethereum Virtual Machine.

Blockchain is the technology that powers Bitcoin, allowing for a decentralized digital currency. Ethereum builds on this concept by enabling decentralized applications and smart contracts to be built and run on its blockchain. In Ethereum, smart contracts are written in the Solidity programming language and deployed to the Ethereum Virtual Machine, where they can store data and transact in the native cryptocurrency, Ether. Developers must be careful when writing smart contracts due to the potential for bugs to have costly consequences.

Distributed app development with nodejs and zeromqRuben Tan
This document discusses using Node.js and ZeroMQ for distributed application development. It defines distributed applications as apps distributed across multiple cloud locations that communicate via a standardized protocol. ZeroMQ is introduced as a socket library that can be used for inter-app communication, with common patterns being push-pull for sending data and req-rep for request-response. Scaling is discussed as adding more app instances for push-pull and adding more rep apps for req-rep. Sample ZeroMQ code in Node.js is also provided.
This presentation explores code comprehension challenges in scientific programming based on a survey of 57 research scientists. It reveals that 57.9% of scientists have no formal training in writing readable code. Key findings highlight a "documentation paradox" where documentation is both the most common readability practice and the biggest challenge scientists face. The study identifies critical issues with naming conventions and code organization, noting that 100% of scientists agree readable code is essential for reproducible research. The research concludes with four key recommendations: expanding programming education for scientists, conducting targeted research on scientific code quality, developing specialized tools, and establishing clearer documentation guidelines for scientific software.

Explaining GitHub Actions Failures with Large Language Models Challenges, In...ssuserb14185
GitHub Actions (GA) has become the de facto tool that developers use to automate software workflows, seamlessly building, testing, and deploying code. Yet when GA fails, it disrupts development, causing delays and driving up costs. Diagnosing failures becomes especially challenging because error logs are often long, complex and unstructured. Given these difficulties, this study explores the potential of large language models (LLMs) to generate correct, clear, concise, and actionable contextual descriptions (or summaries) for GA failures, focusing on developers’ perceptions of their feasibility and usefulness. Our results show that over 80% of developers rated LLM explanations positively in terms of correctness for simpler/small logs. Overall, our findings suggest that LLMs can feasibly assist developers in understanding common GA errors, thus, potentially reducing manual analysis. However, we also found that improved reasoning abilities are needed to support more complex CI/CD scenarios. For instance, less experienced developers tend to be more positive on the described context, while seasoned developers prefer concise summaries. Overall, our work offers key insights for researchers enhancing LLM reasoning, particularly in adapting explanations to user expertise.

Who Watches the Watchmen (SciFiDevCon 2025)Allon Mureinik
Tests, especially unit tests, are the developers’ superheroes. They allow us to mess around with our code and keep us safe.
We often trust them with the safety of our codebase, but how do we know that we should? How do we know that this trust is well-deserved?
Enter mutation testing – by intentionally injecting harmful mutations into our code and seeing if they are caught by the tests, we can evaluate the quality of the safety net they provide. By watching the watchmen, we can make sure our tests really protect us, and we aren’t just green-washing our IDEs to a false sense of security.

Not So Common Memory Leaks in Java WebinarTier1 app
This SlideShare presentation is from our May webinar, “Not So Common Memory Leaks & How to Fix Them?”, where we explored lesser-known memory leak patterns in Java applications. Unlike typical leaks, subtle issues such as thread local misuse, inner class references, uncached collections, and misbehaving frameworks often go undetected and gradually degrade performance. This deck provides in-depth insights into identifying these hidden leaks using advanced heap analysis and profiling techniques, along with real-world case studies and practical solutions. Ideal for developers and performance engineers aiming to deepen their understanding of Java memory management and improve application stability.
Exceptional Behaviors: How Frequently Are They Tested? (AST 2025)Andre Hora
Exceptions allow developers to handle error cases expected to occur infrequently. Ideally, good test suites should test both normal and exceptional behaviors to catch more bugs and avoid regressions. While current research analyzes exceptions that propagate to tests, it does not explore other exceptions that do not reach the tests. In this paper, we provide an empirical study to explore how frequently exceptional behaviors are tested in real-world systems. We consider both exceptions that propagate to tests and the ones that do not reach the tests. For this purpose, we run an instrumented version of test suites, monitor their execution, and collect information about the exceptions raised at runtime. We analyze the test suites of 25 Python systems, covering 5,372 executed methods, 17.9M calls, and 1.4M raised exceptions. We find that 21.4% of the executed methods do raise exceptions at runtime. In methods that raise exceptions, on the median, 1 in 10 calls exercise exceptional behaviors. Close to 80% of the methods that raise exceptions do so infrequently, but about 20% raise exceptions more frequently. Finally, we provide implications for researchers and practitioners. We suggest developing novel tools to support exercising exceptional behaviors and refactoring expensive try/except blocks. We also call attention to the fact that exception-raising behaviors are not necessarily “abnormal” or rare.

17. GAS
• Gas is the unit in which EVM resource usage is measured
• Gas limit (start gas): max amount of gas you willing to spend
• Gas price: price of gas on ether you willing to pay. Miners
decides the minimal acceptable price
Transaction Fee = Gas used * Gas price
Gas used < Gas limit
=> Refund
Gas used > Gas limit
=> Out of gas exception, no change made
