Using blockchain to streamline supply chains
A Mizzou Engineering researcher is part of team proposing a new way to use blockchain technology to streamline supply chains. Blockchain is a decentralized database that allows multiple stakeholders to access and share information in a secure, transparent manner. Users can provide information to the decentralized database; however, they cannot tamper with data once it is recorded. While others are investigating ways to incorporate it into supply chain systems, the team’s proposal is unique in that researchers studied multiple aspects of the process from a cloud computing perspective, said Praveen Rao, an associate professor with joint appointments in Electrical Engineering & Computer…

Mizzou Engineer Offers Tips on Preventing Ransomware Attacks
By Eric Stann, MU News Bureau Prasad Calyam The recent ransomware attack on a major oil refinery in the United States, followed weeks later by another hack that affected a large meat supplier, have again brought the issue of cyberattacks to the forefront of people’s minds, followed closely by a renewed push toward building better cyber defenses to help prevent critical data from being stolen and held hostage by cybercriminals. Furthermore, these attacks have caused a ripple effect in the nation’s economy, most notably with sudden rises in gasoline and food prices, gasoline shortages and delays with shipping and…

Mizzou Engineers Develop Algorithms to Organize Streaming Data
Mizzou Engineers have written new algorithms to better organize, or “cluster,” streaming data. The work has the potential to help businesses better use information coming in constantly or medical providers best respond to ongoing health changes. The goal of clustering is to find meaningful structure within a set of data. But the rise of continuous information generated from sensors, the internet or other sources make it tough to rely on traditional clustering processes to understand the data. “The data comes in — like clicks on the internet — and it’s not like you can collect a billion points and…
