The First IFIP TC 5 International Conference on Computer Science Protecting Human Society Against Epidemics, ANTICOVID 2021, was held virtually in June 2021. The conference featured a selection of 7 full papers and 4 short papers, carefully reviewed and chosen from a total of 20 submissions. The papers covered a wide range of topics, spanning from linguistics for automatic translation of medical terms to a proposal for a global system of rapid response to emerging pandemics.

The conference aimed to bring together experts from various fields to discuss and explore innovative solutions for combating epidemics. The papers presented showcased a diverse range of approaches, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, data analysis, and public health policy. The discussions highlighted the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and the need for coordinated efforts to address the challenges posed by epidemics.

One of the key themes of the conference was the use of technology to enhance epidemic surveillance and response. The papers discussed the development of real-time monitoring systems, the use of mobile technologies for contact tracing, and the integration of big data analytics to identify patterns and predict outbreaks. The authors emphasized the importance of leveraging technology to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of epidemic response efforts.

Another important theme was the role of public education and awareness in preventing and managing epidemics. The papers explored the effectiveness of various communication strategies, such as social media campaigns, public health messaging, and community engagement, in raising awareness about epidemics and promoting healthy behaviors. The authors emphasized the need for targeted and culturally sensitive approaches to public education to ensure that everyone has access to accurate and timely information.

The conference also addressed the social and economic impact of epidemics on vulnerable populations. The papers discussed the challenges faced by marginalized communities, such as low-income individuals, ethnic minorities, and people with disabilities, during epidemics. The authors highlighted the need for inclusive and equitable approaches to epidemic response that prioritize the well-being and dignity of all individuals.

Overall, the First IFIP TC 5 International Conference on Computer Science Protecting Human Society Against Epidemics, ANTICOVID 2021, was a successful event that brought together experts from around the world to discuss and explore innovative solutions for combating epidemics. The papers presented provided valuable insights and recommendations for improving epidemic response and prevention efforts. The conference highlighted the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration, technology, public education, and social equity in addressing the challenges posed by epidemics.
