Aims and Scope
Recent advances in technology will play a significant role in tackling the COVID-19 pandemic to understand the virus and accelerating medical research on treatments and drugs, diagnose and detect this disease and predicting its evolution assist in preventing or slowing the virus' spread through surveillance and contact tracing, respond to the health crisis through personalized information and learning and finally monitor the recovery and improving early warning tools. While the pros and cons of COVID-19 on the environment are evident in the literature, the environment or climate has also significantly impacted COVID-19 transmission and deaths. COVID-19 has become a global epidemic. Its relationship to environmental factors is an issue that has caught the attention of scientists and governments. Intelligent computing is playing a key role in better understanding and addressing the COVID-19 crisis and being used as a tool to support the fight against the viral pandemic that has affected the entire world since the beginning of 2020. This editing book aims to collect chapters of using intelligent computing technologies in handling environment-related problems of COVID-18 in the following area:
1. COVID-19 health Waste management.
2. The temperature and regional climate effects.
3. Food waste management.
4. Exploring the impacts of COVID-19 on oil and electricity demand.
5. Landscape fire management.
6. Air and food pollutions.
7. Water quality management during/post-COVID-19.
8. Coronavirus and climate change-related conservation and disaster shock
9. Weather data and COVID-19 pandemic
10. Social Distancing and air quality
11. COVID-19 and carbon emissions and global warming
12. Fossil fuels during COVID-19.
13. Climate change adaptation and resilience during COVID-19.
14. Climate change governance, legislation and litigation.
15. Environmental policy evaluation.
16. International climate politics in the age of COVID-19.
17. Sustainable natural resources during COVID-19.
18. Covid-19 and Aviation.
19. Architects design COVID-19 mobile for underserved communities.
20. Effects on the renewable energy sector during COVID-19.
21. Sustainable housing in response to COVID-19 lifestyle changes.

CfP for XAI workshop (EXTRAAMAS@AAMAS)
January 8th, 2021 Daniela Lopez de Luise ;word-spacing:0px”>The 3rd International Workshop on EXplainable and TRAnsparent AI and Multi-Agent Systems (EXTRAAMAS 2021)
https://extraamas.ehealth.hevs.ch/
held in conjunction with :
20th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems May 17-21, 2021 London, UK
https://aamas2021.soton.ac.uk/
**************************************************************************************************************************************
Aim and Scope
============
The aim of the workshop is to gather researchers interested in developing explainable approaches to artificial intelligence, in particular to explainable agency, learning, reasoning, and their intersections. . Participants are invited to submit papers addressing whichever phase of explainability (e.g., generation, communication, and reception) fostering transparency in autonomous agents and Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), robots, and other intelligent systems. Compliance with such requirements is becoming necessary in most systems where agent-oriented approaches are increasingly employed.
Important Dates:
================
- Deadline for Submissions: 22 February 2021
- Notification of acceptance: 7 March 2021
- Camera-ready: 20 May 2021
- Workshop day: 5-7 May 2021
