Project Deliverables

•  Confirm that Hyperledger Fabric (hlf) is a suitable blockchain platform for use on c&e projects and that Hypeledger Composer (“Composer”) is suitable for creating the business model and managing the network.
  •  Written confirmation (in the form of an outline) that hlf is a suitable blockchain platform for use on c&e projects and that Hypeledger Composer (“Composer”) is suitable for creating the business model and managing the network.
  •  Academic output: Outline for a paper that describes the selection and architecture requirements and design specifications based on a comparative analysis.
  •  Final design for the commercial process used for this project.
  •  Academic output: Outline for a paper that describes the membership management system. 
  •  

    Academic output: Outline of a paper that justifies the use of Composer as the optimum tool for defining commercial models for C&E projects. 

•  Design and confirm a system architecture and network configuration for a blockchain solution that is able to support C&E projects.
•  Establish a set of functions of C&E assembly and administrative processes that are suitable for the application of hlf.
•  Using an established set of business process modelling tools, define a pilot project that will be used to test the system.
•  Design and testing programme that can be used to fully evaluate the utility and reliability of a hlf network for the pilot project.

Project Milestones

•  Make literature research, design and confirm system architecture and network configuration for a blockchain solution that is able to support C&E projects. Nguyen Tung Anh18 Jul 2019 
  •  Project kick-off, initial communication, share ideas and project organisation. 03 Jun 2019 
  •  Establish working practices, set communication schedule, agree on outputs/targets and milestones. 14 Jun 2019 
  •  Perform an analysis based on literature review to consider the systems, architectures and configuration tested in projects and compare these to the working model. 25 Jun 2019 
  •  Literature review analysis to include the basic concepts on the automation of C&E projects, hlf and Composer. 28 Jun 2019 
  •  Final outline system design, architecture and configuration. 01 Jul 2019 
  •  Define the nodes and members of the system. 05 Jul 2019
