State of Alaska Election Security Project Phase 2 Report
A laska’s election system is among the most secure in the country,
and it has a number of safeguards other states are now adopting. But
the technology Alaska uses to record and count votes could be improved—
and the state’s huge size, limited road system, and scattered communities
also create special challenges for insuring the integrity of the vote.
In this second phase of an ongoing study of Alaska’s election
security, we recommend ways of strengthening the system—not only the
technology but also the election procedures. The lieutenant governor
and the Division of Elections asked the University of Alaska Anchorage to
do this evaluation, which began in September 2007.Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell.

Integrating Blockchain technology within an Information Ecosystem
Context: Blockchain-based Information Ecosystems (BBIEs) are a type of
information ecosystem in which blockchain technology is used to provide a trust
mechanism among parties and to manage shared business logic, breaking the
traditional scheme of Information Ecosystems dominated by a leading company and
leveraging the decentralization of data management, information flow, and
business logic. Objective: In this paper, we propose architecture and technical
aspects concerning the creation of a BBIE, underlining the advantages supplied
and the logic decomposition among the business and storage components. Method:
The requirements are derived from the current needs of the collaborative
business and the data collected by surveying practitioners. To get these needs
we followed the Grounded Theory research approach. We validate our
architectural schema against a case study dealing with the management of a wine
supply chain, also involving different companies and supervision authorities.
Results: The proposed solution integrates blockchain-based applications with
the existing information system as a module of the ecosystem, leveraging on the
low costs, scalability, and high-level security because of the restricted
access to the network. Conclusion: We must go a long way in deepening and
refining the possibilities offered by technology in supporting innovative
multi-organizational business models. BBIEs can contribute substantially to
paving the way in such a direction.Comment: 37 pages, 3 figure
