SPECIAL ISSUE ON
Communications
and Networking Approaches for Combatting COVID-19
PUBLICATION
DATE: October 2021
Communication
and Networking researchers have much to offer to help address the on-going
COVID-19 pandemic. Wireless networks can be utilized to help facilitate contact
tracing and other forms of remote health monitoring. Ideas such as those from
coding theory and compressed sensing can be applied to improve group testing
algorithms. Epidemic models developed for studying the propagation of
information and viruses in communication networks can be adapted to study the
propagation of a true epidemic like COVID-19. Techniques such as machine
learning can be utilized to make better predictions from limited data. Approaches
for privacy and security can be leveraged to protect confidential health
information. This special issue seeks original research papers as well as
expository and survey papers, addressing such work. Example topics of interest
include:
● Modeling and prediction of epidemics
over networks
● AI/ML applied to epidemic data
● Approaches for resource constrained
testing
● Adaptive interventions
● Contact tracing
● Mobile sensing for health
monitoring
● Privacy in E-health
● Technologies to mitigate
misinformation around epidemics
● Other communications and networking
approaches relevant for combatting COVID-19

Electronic submissions should be made through http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com:/jcommnet. Information for authors is available on the JCN web site, http://www.jcn.or.kr. The manuscript should be formatted in LaTex file and uploaded in PDF version. JCN accepts double column FULL papers without page limits that follow the standard of JCN (or similar IEEE) publication format. however, we strongly recommend keeping the page count under 20 pages in double columns for ease of readability. Please direct inquiries and intent to submit notifications to the Lead Guest Editor. JCN is a high-quality bimonthly archival journal, published by the Korean Institute of Communications and Information Sciences with the technical co-sponsorship of the IEEE Communications Society, covering the fields of Communication Theory and Systems, Wireless Communications, and Networks and Services. JCN began publication in March 1999 and is available in IEEE Xplore.
