Abstract

The paper presents details of the blockchain workshop which was conducted at Polish Naval Academy, Gdynia, Poland in a period of 4 months from February to May 2017. The workshop was incorporated into the Software Engineering subject as a part of regular classes. The paper explores business and technical aspects of blockchain main projects developed under Hyperledger initiative. In the following sections authors focus on: reference architecture, business architecture and technical architecture as well as algorithms used in Hyperledger Fabric, Hyperledger Iroha and Hyperledger SawtoohLake projects. The Hyperledger Fabric blockchain project was chosen for conducting classes. The workshop encompassed blockchain introduction and configuration of simple application in cloud environment. Furthermore, students configured on-premises environment for development of blockchain applications. The last task was the development of complete application combining IBM BlueMix, Watson Internet-of-Things Platform and Blockchain service which monitored position, simulated by Node-Red service, of warship ORP Kosciuszko.
