Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In December 2019, the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus began, which resulted in the COVID-19 disease on a pandemic level. This unprecedented crisis affected healthcare systems around the world, as well as other major sectors, intensifying the role of disruptive technologies and requiring the use of the latest advances in intelligent management of large volumes of data (big data), which implies that these latest advances are significantly different from conventional decision-making contexts.
Due to the exceptional nature of the current crisis, implementing solutions that provide significant value and that enable data management is important. Therefore, the integration of solutions based on technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning has allowed for the creation of some solutions, such as efficient data sets, in real time and has made them available to all stakeholders. A large number of investigations are currently under development to provide solutions in mitigating the effects of the pandemic.
For this Special Issue, we invite you to submit high-quality research on emerging solutions and/or applications based on AI techniques, such as machine learning, that address the recent challenges caused by COVID-19. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- application of artificial intelligence for COVID-19;
- application of machine learning algorithms for COVID-19;
- condition monitoring, prognosis, and diagnosis of COVID-19 patients using AI techniques;
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices with application in intelligent systems for COVID-19;
- AI applications in image processing to detect abnormalities (e.g., pulmonary) using X-rays to provide diagnoses of potential COVID-19 cases;
- AI-enabled robots to minimize human-to-human contact;
- AI applications for contact tracing;
- management solutions for large volumes of data (big data); and
- pandemic data management and visualization systems.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs).
