Achieving Digital Transformation Through the Adoption of Smart Contracts and Decentralized Applications

• Objectives: After the training, participants will understand the principles, purposes, usability, challenges and benefits of blockchain technology, smart contracts and decentralized applications. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the topic and about its’ various business and finance applications.  This will enable them to make a more informed decision regarding the potential adoption of blockchain technology in current or new business processes and services. By the end of the training, attendees will be able to design an architecture for a specific blockchain-based application. They will understand the on- /off-chain principle.
• Content: Participants will understand advanced data technologies and the specifics of their structures (graphs, documents, key-values, etc.). They will understand the different types of advanced databases (document, graph, key-value and broad-column), their limitations and which type might best suit their needs. Attendees will be able to make more informed decisions regarding the choice, use and planning of IT Architecture solutions which include the aforementioned types of advanced databases. They will be able to use frameworks and tools to develop ICT solutions based on advanced data technologies and to implement command and query languages ​​for the most common DBMS’s belonging to the advanced database types.
• Duration: 16 hours (2 days)
• Who is this training designed for: This training is intended for architects of modern information solutions, developers, IT and development managers and innovation managers responsible for digital transformation, data architects, CDOs, data administrators, data analysts and data engineers.
• Organizer: UM Feri
• Lecturers: doc. dr. Muhamed Turkanović

Advanced data technologies (Nosql, distributed data warehouses)

• Objectives: After the training, participants will understand advanced data technologies and the specifics of their structures (graphs, documents, key-values, etc.). They will understand the different types of advanced databases (document, graph, key-value and broad-column), their limitations and advantages.By the end of the seminar, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the topic. This will enable them to make more informed decisions regarding the choice, use and planning of IT architecture solutions with different types of advanced databases. Participants will be able to use frameworks and tools to develop ICT solutions based on advanced data technologies. Furthermore, they will learn how to implement command and query languages ​​for the most common DBMS’s belonging to the advanced database types.
