(submit to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=covid19-book2021):
The most severe issue that concerns the world during this period is the outbreak of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). The rapid spread of the virus around the world poses a real threat to all countries, as a result of that, researchers must pay attention to studying the details of this calamity. COVID-19 symptoms may be similar to other viral chest diseases in some of the symptoms that may cause the doctor's uncertainty in making the correct diagnosis decision due to the novelty of this virus. The recent diagnosis of COVID-19 is based on real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and is regarded as the gold standard for confirmation of infection. It has already been widely recognized that deep learning techniques can potentially have a substantial role in streamlining and accelerating the diagnosis of COVID-19 patients. Numerous open dataset enterprises have been set up over the past weeks to aid the researchers in developing and improving methods that could contribute to countering the Corona pandemic. To report the above unique problems in the diagnosis of COVID-19, various techniques need to be developed. This book focuses on novel analysis techniques related to COVID-19.
This Springer book provides a perfect platform to submit chapters that discuss the prospective developments and innovative ideas in artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques in the diagnosis of COVID-19.
COVID-19 is a huge challenge to humanity and medical sciences so far as of today, we have been unable to find a medical solution (Vaccine). However, globally we are still managing the use of technology for our work, communications, analytics, and predictions with the use of advancement in data science, communication technologies (5G & Internet), and AI. Therefore, we might be able to continue and live safely with the use of research in advancements in data science, AI, Machine learning, Mobile apps, etc. until we could find a medical solution such as a vaccine.
There are urgent needs globally to understand how to tackle this challenge. In terms of computing and multimedia research, scientists can offer insights, recommendations and new discoveries, which may offer positive impacts and findings related to the causes, cure and analysis of treatment. The recent diagnosis of COVID-19 is based on real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and is regarded as the gold standard for confirmation of infection. It has already been widely recognized that advanced AI and Data Science techniques can potentially have a substantial role in streamlining and accelerating the diagnosis of COVID-19 patients, offering high-quality research outputs and accurate predictive modeling. Therefore, this requires pioneering methods such as deep learning, artificial intelligence and computational intelligence since they are highly important.
Together with innovative multimedia techniques, innovative AI and Data Science for COVID-19 can provide added value for scientists. In this book/book chapter, we seek high-quality and unpublished work based on pioneering AI, Data Science, and multimedia techniques and findings.
During this COVID-19 crisis, there have been a number of privacy and security issues of personal details and this can be securely managed with the use of smart contracts in intelligent technologies using pioneering AI and Data Science techniques.
This Springer book will be useful for readers and researchers to apply techniques, methods, algorithms, and application of AI and Data Science methods/techniques for further advancements of research.

Notification Due: 30 Oct 2021 (or as early as possible)
Final Version: 15 Nov 2021 (or as early as possible)
Recommendations for submissions:
- We welcome papers of all types but prefer technical papers or papers with scientific processes, steps, methodology, results and analysis.
- There are no fixed numbers of references, but around 30 references or more or so.
- Around 6,000 - 11,000 words on average per chapter (excluding references).
- Please use Harvard APA for referencing, and also in the main body, such as Chang (2021) to start with a new sentence, or (Chang, 2021) at the end of the sentence. If there are more than 3 authors, you can use eg. Chang et al. (2021).
- Demonstrations of the novelty and new findings are important.
