Special Issue on Artificial Intelligence and
Information Technologies(AIIT)for COVID-19
The COVID-19 disease has reached pandemic proportion, according to World Health Organization (WHO) situation report 61. WHO confirms 266,073 cases worldwide as of March 21, 2020, with a cumulative death toll of 11,184. Unfortunately, both numbers are expected to continue to rise.
The goal of this special issue of Computers, Materials & Continua (CMC) Journal is to offer enlightening research and effective tools that can help track and predict the spread of the virus, prevent the pandemic from spreading further, and better allocate scarce resources to optimize patient outcomes.
This special issue is jointly established by the CMC and the Engineering Research Center of Digital Forensics of Ministry of Education to call upon experts from the fields of big data and artificial intelligence to conduct research on COVID-19 tracking, suppression, and treatment strategies.
This special issue invites high quality articles to share and discuss the latest developments and future trends of prevention and treatment methods which are based on the analysis of data. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
Artificial intelligence in COVID-19 drug discovery and development
Big data in COVID-19 analysis
Knowledge representation in COVID-19 analysis
Pattern recognition in COVID-19 risk analysis
Machine learning for COVID-19 tracking and prediction models
Applications of the Internet of Things in healthcare
Computer vision in COVID-19-related medical imaging
Computer vision in COVID-19 treatment simulation
Distributed system in COVID-19 treatment simulation
