On May 28th and 29th, a two day workshop was held virtually, facilitated by the Beyond Center at ASU and Moogsoft Inc. The aim was to bring together leading scientists with an interest in network science and epidemiology to attempt to inform public policy in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Epidemics are at their core a process that progresses dynamically upon a network, and are a key area of study in network science. In the course of the workshop a wide survey of the state of the subject was conducted. We summarize in this paper a series of perspectives of the subject, and where the authors believe fruitful areas for future research are to be found.

5月28日至29日，在ASU超越中心和Moogsoft Inc.的协助下，虚拟召开了为期两天的研讨会。该研讨会的目的是召集对网络科学和流行病学感兴趣的领先科学家，以期为他们的公共政策提供信息COVID-19大流行。流行病的核心是在网络上动态发展的过程，并且是网络科学研究的关键领域。在研讨会期间，对主题的状态进行了广泛的调查。我们在本文中总结了该主题的一系列观点，以及作者认为可以找到未来研究的丰硕领域的地方。
