The course gives an introduction into applications of data science in the fields of marketing and supply chain management. In this semester, we will focus on the understanding of, and developing on, the blockchain.
From a theoretical angle, basic concepts of distributed systems, hashing, and cryptography will be described. From a practical angle, the application of those concepts to the blockchain realm will be explained and applied hands-on. From an implementation viewpoint, special interest will be devoted to Ethereum, Solidity smart contracts, and DApps.
After completing this course students will have knowledge about different areas of application for data science. Students will have a basic understanding of area specific challenges and algorithms.
In this semester, students will learn about recent applications of data science and business process management on the blockchain. Besides an understanding of the blockchain rationale and aims, students will learn to design and implement automated systems based on the blockchain that support business processes. Apart from that, completing this course will contribute to the students’ ability to efficiently work and communicate in a team, work on solutions for complex practical problems by using cutting-edge technologies.
The students will take part in continuous project work. The final grade of the course will depend as follows on homework assignments, research report, and final presentation:
- 50% homework assignment
- 30% research report
- 20% final presentation.
Successful conclusion of the course 1 of SBWL Data Science.
