Prerequisites
SOUHLAS
Interest in the activities of the Lasaris lab, i.e. the areas of design, development and operation of systems with high importance of their quality, including critical systems and infrastructures.
In the case of Blockchain seminar (see Course objectives), students must have solid skills in programming with C++ or Java languages and have good knowledge of working on a Linux desktop. It is necessary to have the laptop with installed Linux.
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
The capacity limit for the course is 60 student(s).
Current registration and enrolment status: enrolled: 5/60, only registered: 0/60, only registered with preference (fields directly associated with the programme): 0/60

Course objectives
The aim of the course is to support the activities of the Laboratory of Software Architectures and Information Systems (Lasaris) in research, development and teaching of theoretical topics and practical problems in building large software systems and deployment of modern information technologies in practice. It deals with the design and development of reliable and secure information systems, process and data modeling, system implementation management, and software technologies for their construction. The seminar makes acquainted with interesting research and development projects solved in Lasaris, particularly in the area of designing large IT and critical infrastructures, for example, to support smart grids. Additionally, external specialists, especially from the IT industry or from abroad, are invited to talk within the seminar.

In the spring 2022 semester, PV226 hosts an autonomous specialized seminar Blockchain. Through this course, students will be provided with a comprehensive understanding of Blockchain. They will learn the methods of securing distributed ledgers. They will also learn the design and implementation of selected Blockchain use-cases. In addition to developing cases of smart contracts, students will work on deploying an Internet of Thing (IoT) network where Blockchain is integrated using a dedicated tool, such as Hyperledger Fabric Composer. Bacem Mbarek in cooperation with Martin Macák will be in charge of this seminar.
Learning outcomes
Student will be able to:
- actively participate in the activities of the Software Architecture and Information Systems Laboratory (Lasaris) research, development and teaching of topics related to the theoretical solutions practical problems in building large software systems and the deployment of modern information technology in practice;
- apply the chosen knowledge of the design and development of reliable and secure information systems, process and data modeling, system implementation management, and software technologies for their construction;
- engage in research and development projects in Lasaris, particularly in the area of designing large IT and critical infrastructures.
Syllabus
  • In case of Lasaris (basic seminar):
  • The syllabus of each semester consists of individual talks of laboratory members and external guests, or the students themselves (see the interactive syllabus of the semester for more detail).
  • In the case of Blockchain seminar:
  • Blockchain
  • Smart contract
  • Blockchain framework implementation (Hyperledger Fabric)
  • Security and Privacy
  • Hyperledger caliper: Blockchain Simulator
  • Internet of things

Teaching methods
In the case of Lasaris overview lectures on new topics in the lab and relevant topics not covered by specific courses at FI. Individual- or team- work on tasks and projects agreed with the main lecturer (e.g. a R&D project, real application development, cooperation with industry, or study material preparation).
In the case of Blockchain seminar the basics in both theoretical background and hands-on experience on Blockchain applications will be provided. In this regard, the seminar will focus on explaining important concepts, such as modelling blockchains, mining, smart contracts, transaction verification, and virtual identity. Furthermore, the course will introduce some existing Blockchain platforms, as for example Hyperledger Fabric. In order to apply the different concepts presented in the course, students will have hands-on sessions where they will implement and discuss the use of Blockchain in several domains, including Internet of things, finance, logistics, and health.
Assessment methods
In the case of LaSArIS attendance at the seminars and assessment of the results of the individual work.
In the case of Blockchain seminar the attendance at the seminars and presentation of the project are required.
Language of instruction
