ASSESSMENT TASK
Blockchain plays an important role in solving many problems and challenges across variety of public concern sectors.
Furthermore, multiple case studies and implementations of Blockchain technology in these sectors were studied and
analysed.
In this Assignment, you will be investigating the importance of blockchain technology in a particular sector where
blockchain enables proper mitigation scenarios to certain problems and challenges in the sector. Specifically, you need to
produce a design-based paper with relevant research and literature review which proposes a blockchain solution to
mitigate a problem/challenge in a sector of your own choosing from the list of sectors listed below:
List of sectors:
1.
E-voting
2.
IoT privacy and trust
3.
Connected vehicles
4.
Digital Identity
5.
Healthcare
6.
Spectrum management
7.
Oil & Gas
8.
Cryptocurrencies
9.
Supplychain
10.
Data Security
The paper should discuss the following:
1.
Problem statement: What is the main problem addressed by this paper and how blockchain technology can
mitigate it?
2.
State of Art: discussion of the previous proposed blockchain approaches which were introduced to solve the
problem?
3.
The blockchain application model proposed in this paper. The blockchain model should be discussed and analysed
in detail.
4.
Appropriate evaluation of the proposed blockchain model and tracilbility of blockchain selection decisions.
5.
Appraisal of your blockchain solution relative to other approaches and to your own set of objectives.
Note:
Suggested paper outline:
1.
Title of the paper
2.
Introduction. Problem statement
3.
Background and related work
4.

MARKING CRITERIA
The following criteria will be used to assess the assignment:
Problem statement:
Relevance of the problem to Blockchain; project objective and rational:
10%
State of Art:
Evidence of extensive and appropriate discussions of the previous proposed blockchain approaches to solve
the problem:
20%
Proposed blockchain model/solution:
Evidence of appropriate blockchain model; in-depth discussions of the model
components; justification of the proposed approach; traceability of blockchain selection decisions:
30%
Evaluation:
Evidence of appropriate evaluation of the proposed blockchain model; appropriate evaluation method which
includes blockchain practical aspects:
20%
Conclusion:
Appraisal of the process and lessons learned:
10%
Paper quality:
Document structure and coherence; references; clarity and appropriate use of english:
10%
The overall expecations are:
To achieve a pass mark:
The problem within a case study is identified and discussed. Adequate blockchain previous
related approaches are discussed. The proposed blockchain approach is proposed and discussed with adequate
demonstration of blockchain role in solving the problem. The proposed solution is evaluated using a proper evaluation
method.
To achieve a higher mark >70%:
The problem within a case study is well justified and explained. In depth discussions
about the blockchain role in solving the given problem. The literature review shows in-depth critical analysis of the
previous blockchain approaches in relation to the problem mitigation. The proposed blockchain model/solution is well
discussed and explained with traceability and transparency of decisions demonstrate an outstanding knowledge and
understanding of the problem and solution. The evaluation method reflects an accurate process to test the validity of the
proposed solution.
