Blockchain and Data Science: Two Perspectives

Blockchain and Data Science both represent nascent fields. The intersection of the two is even less explored. In this talk we will delineate between the application of Data Science for the understanding of Blockchain networks versus the application of Blockchains to the practice of Data Science; and present an example of each. First, we discuss how simulation modelling can be used to create a comprehensive in-silico laboratory for understanding the behaviour and characteristics of Blockchain networks. Second, a vision of how blockchain and simulation modelling can be combined to enable participatory evidence-based decision support in an infectious disease context.
