A MultiChain-Based Homework Submission System
Salvador E. Barbosa, Ralph M. Butler, Chrisila C. Pettey · 2017
Blockchain technology is becoming widely used in various areas. While we wanted to gain experience with blockchain technology, we felt that the best way to do that would be to redevelop a project that we were familiar with. A project of this nature needed to be something we had developed that would use the interesting capabilities of blockchain technology and yet would be small enough to be accomplished fairly easily. To this end we chose a homework submission system that we routinely use for our classes. While this project was perhaps not the best fit for the blockchain technology, it none-the-less exercised all the capabilities that we found interesting in a way that made sense from a blockchain point of view. Our experiences have expanded the list of potential problems for which blockchain might be appropriate.
