BACKGROUND: To combat COVID-19, curb the pandemic, and manage containment, governments around the world are turning to data collection and population monitoring for analysis and prediction. The massive data generated through the use of big data and artificial intelligence can play an important role in addressing this unprecedented global health and economic crisis. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this work is to develop an expert system that combines several solutions to combat COVID-19. The main solution is based on a new developed software called General Guide (GG) application. This expert system allows us to explore, monitor, forecast, and optimize the data collected in order to take an efficient decision to ensure the safety of citizens, forecast, and slow down the spread’s rate of COVID-19. It will also facilitate countries’ interventions and optimize resources. Moreover, other solutions can be integrated into this expert system, such as the automatic vehicle and passenger sanitizing system equipped with a thermal and smart High Definition (HD) cameras and multi-purpose drones which offer many services. All of these solutions will facilitate lifting COVID-19 restrictions and minimize the impact of this pandemic. METHODS: The methods used in this expert system will assist in designing and analyzing the model based on big data and artificial intelligence (machine learning). This can enhance countries’ abilities and tools in monitoring, combating, and predicting the spread of COVID-19. RESULTS: The results obtained by this prediction process and the use of the above mentioned solutions will help monitor, predict, generate indicators, and make operational decisions to stop the spread of COVID-19. CONCLUSIONS: This developed expert system can assist in stopping the spread of COVID-19 globally and putting the world back to work.

In the world of modern health, despite the fact that we've been blessed with amazing advances of late - the advent of personalised medicine is just one example - “change” for most citizens seems slow. There are clear discrepancies in availability of the best care for all, the divisions in access from country to country, wealthy to poor, are large. There are even discrepancies between regions of the larger countries, where access often varies alarmingly. Too many Member States (with their competence for healthcare) appear to be clinging stubbornly to the concept of “one-size-fits-all” in healthcare and often stifle advances possible through personalised medicine. Meanwhile, the legislative arena encompassing health has grown big and unwieldy in many respects. And bigger is not always better. The health advances spoken of above, an increased knowledge on the part of patients, the emergence of Big Data and more, are quickly changing the face of healthcare in Europe. But healthcare thinking across the EU isn't changing fast enough. The new technologies will certainly speak for themselves, but only if allowed to do so. Acknowledging that, this article highlights a positive reform agenda, while explaining that new avenues need to be explored.

Considering the current situation of COVID-19 and travel restrictions, the 3rd International Conference on Industrial Applications of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (BDAI 2021) which was planned to be held in Wuhan. China from Sept. 23 to 25, 2021 was changed into virtual conference on Sept. 24, 2021 via Tencent Meeting (Voov) software. BDAI 2021 was organized by China University of Geosciences (Wuhan), sponsored by Hong Kong Society of Mechanical Engineers (HKSME). The Technical Program committee received a total of 38 paper submissions from all over the world, among which 20 papers were accepted, and more than 30 participants attended the conference online, they were from China, Australia, Thailand, Malaysia, India, Japan, UK and more. Four renowned speakers given speeches about their latest research and reports. They are: Prof. Dan Zhang from York University, Canada; Prof. Lefei Zhang from Wuhan University. China: Prof. Deze Zeng from China University of Geosciences (Wuhan), China and Assoc. Prof. Simon James Fong from University of Macau. Macau S.A.R., China. The conference also had 1 technical session and 1 poster sessions. This conference aims to provide a platform for researchers and engineers to share their ideas, recent developments, and successful practices in energy engineering. The participants of the conference were from almost every part of the world, with various background such as academia, industry, and well-known entrepreneurs. Each keynote speech lasted 40 minutes, and authors presentation 15 minutes. Each presentation was included with questions and answers. BDAI 2021 became an effective communication platform for all the participants over the world and unlike some that claim international reach this conference was truly international. The conference proceeding is a compilation of the accepted papers and represent an interesting outcome of the conference. This book covers 3 chapters: 1. Artificial Intelligence: 2. Big Data Technology; 3. Robot System. We would like to acknowledge all of those who supported BDAI 2021. Each individual and institutional help were very important for the success of this conference. Especially we would like to thank the committee chairs, committee members and reviewers, for their tremendous contribution in conference organization and peer review of the papers. We sincerely hope that BDAI 2021 will be a fomrn for excellent discussions that will put forward new ideas and promote collaborative research and support researchers as they take their work forward. We are sure that the proceedings will serve as an important research source of references and the knowledge, which will lead to not only scientific and engineering progress but also other new products and processes.

The world generated 52 times the amount of data in 2010 and 76 times the number of information sources in 2022. The ability to use this data creates enormous opportunities, and in order to make these opportunities a reality, people must use data to solve problems. Unfortunately, in the midst of a global pandemic, when people all over the world seek reliable, trustworthy information about COVID-19 (Coronavirus). Tableau plays a key role in this scenario because it is an extremely powerful tool for quickly visualizing large amounts of data. It has a simple drag-and-drop interface. Beautiful infographics are simple to create and take little time. Tableau works with a wide variety of data sources. COVID-19 (Coronavirus)analytics with Tableau will allow you to create dashboards that will assist you. Tableau is a tool that deals with big data analytics and generates output in a visualization technique, making it more understandable and presentable. Data blending, real-time reporting, and data collaboration are one of its features. Ultimately, this paper provides a clear picture of the growing COVID19 (Coronavirus) data and the tools that can assist more effectively, accurately, and efficiently. Keywords: Data Visualization, Tableau, Data Analysis, Covid-19 analysis, Covid-19 data

During the past decade, computers have broken through the barrier of human time. Today, computers can process data in milli-, micro- and even nanoseconds and can (inter) act autonomously in time frames that exceed our capacity to perceive and respond to. This produces a fundamental problem – a gap between human time and the time of computers – and raises important questions: how do big data and fast computation affect our experience and understanding of time? If a computer is able to deal with the world faster than we can, are we doomed to live forever in the past, however near the present? Or are we dealing with a technological extension of the present, and how might we be able to understand and experience this? By analysing theory and works of art, this text examines how to deal with the shock produced by microtemporal technologies.

Sensors are increasingly being used to monitor the world around us. They measure movements of structures such as bridges, windmills, and plane wings, human’s vital signs, atmospheric conditions, and fluctuations in power and water networks. In many cases, this results in large networks with different types of sensors, generating impressive amounts of data. As the volume and complexity of data increases, their effective use becomes more challenging, and novel solutions are needed both on a technical as well as a scientific level. Founded on several real-world applications, this chapter discusses the challenges involved in large-scale sensor data analysis and describes practical solutions to address them. Due to the sheer size of the data and the large amount of computation involved, these are clearly “Big Data” applications.
