Abstract

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of spatially-explicit models have been developed to better explain the pathways of the disease, to predict the trajectory of the disease, and to test the effect of different health guidelines and policies on the number of cases and deaths. The 1st ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on Modeling and Understanding the Spread of COVID-19 workshop (COVID'2020) featured research efforts that aim to understand the spatial processes and patterns of COVID-19 spread using a variety of spatial modeling, simulation, and mining approaches. The goal of this workshop was to bring together a range of interdisciplinary researchers in the SIGSPATIAL community in the fields of computer science, spatial modeling, social sciences, and epidemiology. Also, this workshop was advertised for anyone interested in infectious disease data and modelling, including but not limited to COVID-19.
