Blockchain presents a novel technology for improving existing paradigms in a wide span of domains, including project management. In this paper, we first review the state of the art blockchain use cases in project management to reveal the current status of blockchain research and to identify the blockchain application domains in project management. We then present a framework based on the review results, to guide implementers and researchers on blockchain design decisions about privacy, transparency, decentralization, blockchain type, and platform decisions, which are unique for a particular project management domain. The review results indicate that blockchain includes a variety of unique properties simultaneously, and presents multiple contributions for management of projects. However, technical blockchain design decisions are crucial for maximizing the benefits of the blockchain systems. The proposed novel framework enables a structured methodology for resolving crucial technical design decisions for maximizing the benefits of blockchain systems in project management and the review provides directions to the new blockchain research.

Blockchain Technology Applications in the Health Domain: A Multivocal Literature Review Baysal, Merve Vildan; Özcan Top, Özden; Betin Can, Aysu (2022-08-01) Blockchain technology has been changing the nature of several businesses, from supply chain management to electronic record management systems and copyright management to healthcare applications. It provides a resilient and secure platform for modifications due to its distributed and shared nature and cryptographic functions. Each new technology, however, comes with its challenges alongside its opportunities. Previously, we performed a systematic literature review (SLR) to explore how blockchain technology ...
Data science technology selection: development of a decision-making approach Nazlıel, Kerem; Eren, Pekin Erhan; Kayabay, Kerem; Department of Information Systems (2022-12-29) Developments in IT, Cloud, Analytics, and related fields have created an abundance of Data Science technologies for practitioners, developers, and organizations to use. This abundance and variety complicate the Data Science technology selection and management processes for the analytics teams. When teams select and use improper tools and technologies, they encounter problems and inefficiencies, also known as technical debt. As a remedy, this thesis proposes a systematic technology selection method consideri...
Acquiring innovative software systems: Experiences from the field Demirörs, Onur; Karagoz, N. Alpay; Gencel, Cigdem (2007-08-31) Managing acquisition of software projects, containing innovative components, brings many challenges to acquirer organizations. Innovative software projects usually have unclear requirements and scope. They require stakeholders such as research institutes, software development organizations and the domain experts who work. together and need a flexible budget and time frame to be successful. As a result, the acquisition management activities such as estimation of the product size and the required development ...
Decentralized secure multiparty computation Taşcı, Buse; Cenk, Murat; Department of Cryptography (2019) Advances in blockchain technology have led to new applications that aim to eliminate central systems, to improve transparency and user control in transactions whiledealing with the privacy and security challenges. In this thesis, a system which enables users to control their private data and to share chosen data to other parties usingsecure computation techniques is reviewed. Then, we present a blockchain-based digital identity system depending on this architecture. This system ensures that identity informa...
Topology-Aware Cooperative Data Protection in Blockchain-Based Decentralized Storage Networks Yang, Siyi; Hareedy, Ahmed; Calderbank, Robert; Dolecek, Lara (2020-06-01) The continuous rise of the blockchain technology is moving various information systems towards decentralization. Blockchain-based decentralized storage networks (DSNs) offer significantly higher privacy and lower costs to customers compared with centralized cloud storage associated with specific vendors. Coding is required to retrieve data stored on failing components. While coding solutions for centralized storage have been intensely studied, those for DSNs have not yet been discussed. In this paper, we pr...
