Data Analytics - Prof. James V. Krogmeier. A case study of analysis of multiple machine wheat harvest tracks using Python tools. Code and data available on github.
Networking Solutions for Ag's Data Problems - Andrew Balmos.

The network promises to provide elements of connectivity, even when traditional infrastructure is unavailable, unreliable, or otherwise unsuitable.
Understanding Blockchain and Oblivious Smart Contracts - Aaron Ault. Blockchain discussions all too often are long on hype and short on knowledge. We walk through a simple explanation the components of building a blockchain in your own web browser, highlighting the things blockchain does well, the things it does not do, and the conditions under which it breaks. We will also cover a related new invention from the OATS Center at Purdue, Oblivious Smart Contracts, for automating certifications while protecting privacy and sovereignty.
