Blockchain, a distributed ledger solution, has gained a lot of interest over the
past few years. Inspired by the success of blockchain-based cryptocurrencies,
financial institutions have led growth of the technology. Other communities,
however, are struggling to emulate that success within their domains of
expertise. Immaturity of the technology itself, the lack of peer-reviewed
resources, and the absence of domain-specific professional working groups are
among barriers to a wider adoption of the blockchain technology by non-financial
communities. 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


GET INVOLVED

Interested parties may join the BIA COI by registering via GovDelivery(link is
external) to receive notification of upcoming teleconferences, meetings, and
events.

If you would like to contribute to the BIA COI, visit the Community's GitHub
Repository(link is external). Working group tasks and status are available under
the repository's Project Tab(link is external). Working group discussions take
place using the repository's Issue Tracker(link is external).
