great efforts are needed from researchers from different fields from academia and industry. Computing and AI are playing vital rules in our everyday life and can be very useful in dealing with pandemics. The international workshop on Computing for Pandemics
is an international forum that aims to give researchers from different fields the opportunity to present their contributions to the field. We solicit contributions covering various topics in the field that include but are not limited to:
