Workshop on Data Science and Blockchain (DSBC2018)
Abstract
Autonomous (and semi-autonomous) systems such as drones and driverless cars start to play more and more important roles in military and our daily lives. How to develop high quality software for (semi-) autonomous systems and prevent cyber-attacks has become a major concern of both the research community and industries. It is a consensus that high quality software and cyber defense will greatly enhance the survivability of the autonomous systems and the human operators/passengers. Many experts also claim: using decision science/AI/machine learning techniques will result in better (semi-) autonomous systems. In the same time, there is significant interest in exploring a relatively new technique -- blockchain, which may play an increasingly important role in many areas. We believe the recent R&D efforts of data science, blockchain, and DevOps techniques will significantly change the way of (semi-) autonomous system design, operation, and management. We are proposing to organize the DSBC 2018 (Data Science & Blockchain) workshop to be held on October 22 - 25, 2018 in Xi’an, China. The focus of this workshop is to identify promising research directions for applying data science, blockchain, and DevOps techniques in the design and development of the preferred but not limited to (semi-) autonomous systems. The relationship between these techniques and conceptual modeling will also be explored.
