About


We are pleased to announce the 2nd Blockchain in Construction Research Workshop, hosted by Robert Gordon University in collaboration with the Construction Blockchain Consortium. The workshop will take place on Thursday 15th and Friday 16th April 2021 online.

The first day will feature a practical step by step implementation of Solidity smart contracts for CAD systems (Rhino/Grasshopper). The second day will include research discussions and seminars. More information, including an agenda, will follow.

Blockchain in a construction context is an important and emergent research subject with an increasing number and quality of publications but also one which receives significant industry attention. The virtual workshop hosted by Robert Gordon University’s Centre for Digital Cities and Society, in collaboration with the Construction Blockchain Consortium, aims to connect active researchers to develop further thinking and innovative approaches to the area. We are seeking presentations of up-to-date research to enable a wide and deep discussion on future research agendas and open pathways for potential collaborations.

The workshop will invite discussion based on the research presentations. Further, we hope presentations by blockchain researchers, developers and practitioners will inspire new research perspectives and directions. A particular aspect of the workshop will focus on developing a map of research questions and methods that can help the global community advance the state of the art.

CBC/IOTA Code Workshop [free event]

Iota_logo.png
CBC-Logo_Blk_Title.png

The Construction Blockchain Consortium and IOTA hosted a Code Workshop on 30th March 2021, held online.

This was a hands-on workshop to develop an IOTA network for Smart Cities, and included a discussion of IOTA technologies and their current projects. Please visit IOTA website for more information about these.


Workshop Recording


You can now play back the introduction to IOTA and full workshop via the videos below. Please contact us if you have any queries.


Attendee Instructions 


For the Workshop we will be installing, configuring and running the IOTA Peer-to-Peer (p2p) Energy Grid. The grid fully automates the transfer of power and the automatic payment for that power between energy providers and energy consumers. It is a fully decentralised energy grid running on IOTA (https://www.iota.org/get-started/what-is-iota).

Information about the IOTA p2p Grid can be found in their online documentation here: https://docs.iota.org/docs/blueprints/0.1/p2p-energy/overview. Participants are encouraged to read through this information in advance of the workshop.

Prerequisites

Workshop attendees who want to install the IOTA p2p Grid on their local machine (windows or Mac) during the Workshop should carry out the following pre-requisites prior to the workshop session.

 1) Install Code Environment (VS Code, Git & Node)

  • Download & install Visual Studio (VS) Code (https://code.visualstudio.com/Download)

  • Install Git (https://git-scm.com/downloads). When installed, open VS Code, Click on Terminal (from menu) - New Terminal. In Terminal window type 'git --version'. The terminal response should be 'git version x.x.x'.

  • Download and install Node (and npm) (https://nodejs.org/en/download/). Once it has installed go to the terminal window again and type 'node -v' (response should be 'vx.x.x') then type 'npm -v' (response should be 'x.x.x'). Please note that the p2p Energy Grid requires Node (not npm) version above 10. It is recommended to be using verion 14.x.x which is the latest version.

 2) Set-up Amazon Web Services Account

You need to have a Free Amazon Web Services Account set up which has Access Keys set up to create dynamoDB (database) and S3 (storage). The DynamoDB database and S3 storage is used by the IOTA Peer-to-Peer (p2p) Energy Grid application.

Steps:

  • Set up a free basic support AWS account at https://aws.amazon.com/

  • Sign in to the Management console at https://signin.aws.amazon.com/ (goto to My Accounts - AWS Management Console in the menu)

  • From the AWS Management Console change region to London (eu-west-2) from the menu on the top (right)

  • Create S3 Bucket

    • Search for S3 Services. Create bucket from the button. Give a unique name and save (use default settings)

  • Create Access Key & Secret for S3 and DynamoDB access

    • Navigate to My Security Credentials - Access Keys - 'Create New Access Key' (this opens IAM)

    • Click on Show Access Key - save the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key in A SAFE PLACE as you will need them for the Workshop.

  • Make a note of the Region your account is using. It is shown in the browser address bar (should be region=eu-west-2) You will also need this for the Workshop.

Any questions/problems can be sent to Stephen Smith.

  • Google Calendar ICS

We are pleased to announce the Digital Construction Management Workshop, hosted by ETH Zurich in collaboration with the CBC. The workshop will happen on the 20th and 21st of February 2020 at ETH Zurich Campus.

Blockchain in a construction context is an emerging research topic which has seen increasing industry attention and greater numbers of publications about it in recent years. This small workshop hosted by the Chair of Industrial and Innovative Construction, in collaboration with the Construction Blockchain Consortium, aims to connect actively involved researchers to develop thinking in this area. We are seeking presentations of up-to-date research to facilitate the discussion about future research agendas and open pathways for potential collaborations.

The workshop will invite discussion based upon the research presentations. In addition, we hope external presentations from blockchain researchers outside of construction inspire new research directions. The event is hosted in a relaxed atmosphere at ETH Zurich with social activities (including a tour of NCCR digital fabrication) and dinner on the 20th of February to facilitate new relationships and networking.
