Call for Papers


Within SIBGRAPI 2022 that will be held from October 24th to 28th in the city of Natal, Brazil, it will happen the 1st Workshop on Patterns and Data for Pandemic Dynamics Analysis (WPD2A 2022). This workshop aims to promote and discuss the issues related to data analysis and pattern recognition using both model and data-driven strategies for understanding epidemiology dynamics and forecasts. Short and long-term forecasts constitute an essential tool to help policymakers better allocate resources and workforce to mitigate the effects of the pandemics. This has direct application in the recent COVID-19 pandemic with the forecast of the main curves of the disease, i.e, the daily number of infected cases and COVID-19 deaths.

In this sense, we invite you to send your original unpublished paper and join us to know the very last works that have been developed so far and the next steps in this field. It is important to notice that all manuscripts submitted to WPD2A 2022 must be in English. It must have between four (4) and six (6) pages (no extra page is allowed), to be prepared following the IEEE format available below (please, choose the "A4" style and observe the SIX PAGE LIMIT for paper length).

All full papers are subjected to blind review by at least three experts on the topic of the work. The final program will only include papers with at least one author registered with a full registration rate in the SIBGRAPI 2022 conference. Each paper must be associated with a different full registration.
