Distributed ledgers for engineered systems: hype or hope?

The next decade will see step changes in data-driven technology, impacting all aspects of engineering and industry. In preparation, the Lloyd’s Register Foundation and The Alan Turing Institute have partnered on a major initiative to address new challenges in data-centric engineering.Based at The Alan Turing Institute, the programme brings together world-leading academic institutions and major industrial partners from across the engineering sector.The programme for data-centric engineering is led by Professor Mark Girolami.Read more about the programme here:www.turing.ac.uk/research_projects/programme-data-centric-engineering/#homeAbout the Lloyd's Register FoundationThe Lloyd’s Register Foundation is a UK charity established in 2012. With our mission to protect the safety of life and property, and to advance transport and engineering education and research, the Foundation has an important role to play in meeting the challenges of today and the future.Read more about the Lloyd's Register Foundation here:www.lrfoundation.org.ukAbout The Alan Turing InstituteThe Alan Turing Institute is the national institute for data science.Read more about The Alan Turing Institute here:www.turing.ac.uk

<H2 CLASS="MsoNormal">About the event</H2>
Many engineered systems rely on data for their safe and reliable operation - aircraft and motor vehicles, rail networks, pharmaceutical and food supply chains, and other critical infrastructure. Complex integrated systems rely on interoperability of subsystems and the processing of multi-source data. Issues such as data theft, corruption and falsification of sensor data and falsification of information present serious threats to the dependability and safety of these systems. 
How can distributed ledgers help us? It is widely believed that distributed ledgers and blockchains hold great promise in financial services. This event explores their use in engineered systems and launches the Insight report on distributed ledger technologies, commissioned by Lloyd’s Register Foundation and The Alan Turing Institute.
