A public-private collaboration
The Blockchain for Industrial Applications (BIA) Community of Interest (COI) of Interest wants to advance research and development initiatives that combine blockchain’s core strength of trust making with smart cloud-based solutions to advance blockchain-enabled smart manufacturing and other industrial applications. The BIA COI – with members from government, industry, and academia – is providing guidelines to create a (better) synergy between end users, research community, and solution providers to reduce complexity, cost, and delay of adoption of blockchain technologies. The following list defines the current scope of the BIA COI's focus on blockchain for industrial applications:
- Education: highlighting results to the community from research and scientific discoveries of blockchain technologies and added value to industrial applications
- Use case management: identifying use cases where blockchain technology can enhance the productivity and reliability of services within supply chain era
- Validation: developing guidelines and metrics for organizations to evaluate use cases and software solutions against their own business requirements
- Dissemination: developing a public knowledge repository to share results (e.g., source code, tutorial videos, peer-reviewed articles)
- Communication: providing a platform for different stakeholders to find each other, exchange ideas/needs/feedback, ensure goals are met, and foster innovation
If you would like to contribute to the BIA COI, please fork the repository and use a feature branch. Pull requests are warmly welcome.
Working group tasks and status are available under the repository's Project Tab. Working group discussions take place using the repository's Issue Tracker.
Interested parties may join the BIA COI by registering via GovDelivery to receive notification of upcoming teleconferences, meetings, and events.
