Matisse has kindly assembled the following materials to help us with our efforts to analyze and document the tensions/themes. Please see below. Separately, John W sent me the following link, which contains some comparative analysis: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/11WwKRK8RrGokPvrm3APshHY_DlyYOKz_ipc8K2wXVmA/pub?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000 I suspect the best way for us to make progress is for those with keen analytical and writing skills to do some homework *before* the next meeting, perhaps with a glass of wine handy. :-) *Eve Maler*ForgeRock Office of the CTO | VP Innovation & Emerging Technology Cell +1 425.345.6756 | Skype: xmlgrrl | Twitter: @xmlgrrl *ForgeRock Summits and UnSummits* are coming to <http://summits.forgerock.com/> *London and Paris!* ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: mat perugini <mat.perugini@gmail.com> Date: Mon, Sep 26, 2016 at 1:11 AM Subject: link to some blockchain papers To: Eve Maler <eve.maler@forgerock.com> Dear Eve, here is the paper list you have been asking for. The historical part covers from 1982 to 2009. The ethereum blog expalins in a very linear way the issue of concurring blockchains. Paper: Smart Contract a Preliminary evaluation, exposes the state of my reasarch at the end of 2015. Even though there are things I have reconsidered (and that will be better explained in my fnal essay), it exposes some of the main concepts I am working on.
