The two sides also agreed to carry out collaborative industry-university research in the following areas: ▲ Analysis of virtual currency trading processes based on process mining, ▲ System stability improvement, and ▲ Clustering analysis based on time-series characteristics of virtual currency. They also plan on nurturing talents in cooperation with UNIST’s Blockchain Research Center, which leads research on the blockchain industry technology.
