Book Chapters for:
Modelling, control and Drug Development for COVID-19 Outbreak Prevention
OBJECTIVE OF THE BOOK
The primary emphasis of this book will be on the kinds of measures that may aim to minimize the numbers of Covid-19, since the strategies performed would, of course, decide the actual empirical truth. Model predictions are used to estimate potential demand for health care, including how many intensive care beds will be required, when and where air problems are most likely to occur, and the amount of health care staff expected to respond effectively. Short-term projections may be crucial to aid planning, but it is usually unnecessary to focus on long-term predictions for such purposes. In addition, estimation model forecasts are used to determine local, state and national policies. When is the large number of cases expected? If social isolation is successful and the number of new cases needing hospitalization is constant or diminishing, when is it time to start returning to work or school? Will the big meetings be free again? In these reasons, projections are expected to only have insight into the magnitude of what is ahead and cannot forecast the precise course of the disease weeks or months in advance. The book will also concentrate on computational simulations that may help speed up the development of drugs to counter the novel coronavirus responsible for COVID-19.
Both novice and expert readers should find this book a useful reference in the field of Mathematical modelling, system dynamics modelling, statistical analysis and drug development.
Submission Guidelines
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit before June 30, 2020 a 1-3-page chapter proposal abstract clearly explaining the mission and concerns of the proposed chapter. Abstract can be submitted anytime and will be evaluated shortly to provide an early feedback to the authors. This helps as a registration of the chapter for the final submission. Submission of abstracts must be done through EasyChair system Authors of accepted proposals will be notified about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters must be submitted by August 31, 2020 through EasyChair system. The Chapter should not exceed 50 pages with respect to Springer format. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a single-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project.
