Several attempts have been made to understand the factors associated with the assessment and control of COVID 19. Despite ongoing efforts to understand the pandemic’s characteristics, still, there lacks a general consensus among the research community about a comprehensive method for COVID 19 evolution, assessment, analysis, and control. Understanding the complexities of COVID 19 crisis and its impacts under the influence of global and local factors requires investigation of new techniques, methodologies and approaches.
The objective of this special issue is to encourage researchers to share their research outputs for preparing better solutions for tackling the pandemic. Contributions from various engineering, scientific, economic and social fields that exploit data analytics, machine learning, data mining, remote sensing, experimental studies are welcomed.
