We can observe some countries are successful in formulating effective strategies for managing the pandemic, while some are struggling. The research is based on the question of formulating effective policies for COVID-19 to reduce community transmission. While many countries are suffering from the pandemic, it is a critical issue that the policymakers should be concerned with formulating effective policies to address the problem. We use computational methods to foresee the future by creating a simulation model based on multi-agent and simulation methodology because it is not always possible to predict the future state of a complex adaptive system. The data are collected through a survey and the literature to calibrate the model parameters to build a constructive and realistic model. Once the model is constructed, the simulation results are compared with the real-world observations to validate the model. The implementation of the model follows an iterative process for improving the validity of the model. This paper presents the conceptual model of the system being investigated and its initial implementation, which needs to be calibrated further with empirical data before using it as a decision support tool.","PeriodicalId":253040,"journal":{"name":"2020 2nd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130968590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The report covers a short theoretical introduction about the medicinal topic, features the extraction, filtering techniques, and afterward trains the extracted information through machine learning software. After that is covered, it demonstrates the results with two types of machine learning algorithms (active or drowsiness status) with WEKA software. The main benefit of this system is it will send a notification to the driver's mobile every second when he goes to sleeping status. Nowadays artificial intelligence cars are available with sleep assistance, however, the devices used on these cars are very expensive. So, our approach is to develop a system to predict the driver's drowsiness to reduce accidents caused by sleepiness at a low cost.

Researchers that have been done in this area have produced different solutions to detect only the falls but not to automatically detect and notify them to the caretakers. This solution serves as a smart wearable device that is capable of automatically monitoring real-time postures, detecting sudden falls, possible arrhythmia conditions of the heart of the fallen person, and daily route deviations along with the fallen location which is finally notified to the caretakers through a mobile application. According to the performed studies, python model development was used to implement the system through Machine Learning concepts by referring to the Markov model, Prophet model, and Naïve Bayes algorithms.

Stock prices are nonstationary and highly noisy because stock markets are affected by a variety of factors. Traditionally, the next lag of time series is effectively forecast by a variety of techniques like Simple Exponential Smoothing, ARIMA. In particular, ARIMA has shown its success in accuracy and precision in predicting the next time-series lags. As part of the literature, very few studies have focused on Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) to find new predictive approaches for the forecasting of high volatility stock price indexes. Different statistical approaches and economic data strategies have been widely applied to define market price movements and trends and the trade volume levels in CSE over the last ten years. This article explores whether and how the newly developed deep learning algorithms for the projection of time series data, such as the Back Propagation Neural Network, are greater than traditional algorithms.

The chemicals are applied to the plants intermittently without thinking about the necessity of each plant. Several problems have occurred in the greenhouse environment due to these causes.
