Title: Blockchain evolution – avoiding the emerging pitfalls – a new platform

Track: Blockchain

“If you have an infinite hardware budget, or if you’re happy with your half century old technology stack, you won’t need to read this. Everyone else needs to pay attention.”

Abstract: Time Compression Strategies has been a pioneer in the development and deployment of extreme speed, reliability and scalability for over 35 years. Long before it was known by the current name they implemented long chain, supply chain, communication network and data chain solutions that regularly records for speed, reliability and scalability.

The presentation will discuss specific trends, barriers and solutions to the barriers yet to be resolved before wide scale adoption will become routine.

In the course of their experience they evolved platform, toolset and integration methods now based on the patented Ancelus database. This foundation breakthrough allows direct blockchain structures without the cumbersome transforms required in the current technology platforms. The most important element is the elimination of the exponential growth in hardware requirements, starting to outrun even the impressive efforts of the hardware side to keep up.

A look at some of the applications in workflow automation, telecom, manufacturing and others that will form the next revolution taming the complexity and solving the scalability problem that the hardware guys will shortly fail to fix.

Bio: Layden’s early career (20 years in manufacturing as an engineer, executive and board member of 3 fortune 200 companies) provided the practical foundation for the innovations to come.

Layden is the author of the supply chain chapter of Maynards Industrial Engineering Handbook along with more than 40 articles on everything from supply chain to streaming analytics. His two recent papers on the quarter century of performance in the US durable goods supply chain exposed the need for a new business model and operating model for this foundation element of the US economy.

Mr. Layden holds a BS degree from Purdue University in Electrical Engineering and an MBA from the University of Wisconsin. He has served as a guest lecturer in the MBA programs of Villanova University, Columbia University, New York University, Ball State University, Indiana University and others.
