Ontological multi-agent system for pandemic zone classification and automated policy formulation

This chapter deals with in depth analysis and design of a multi-agent system supported by a thorough knowledge base, Covid19_ONT, developed and enriched in Protégé 5.2.0. NLP is used to extract the information regarding COVID-19 from valuable sources like mygov.in, who.int, nhs.uk and others. India introduced the concept of zones according to the degree and magnitude of the disease. The red, orange and green zones were demarcated through the districts at the lowest level. A district at any time can be in one of the zones and it is also possible that the district might wave between the zones according to the number of active cases. Each of the zones has its own rules to be imposed, called policies. This chapter allows for systematic allotment of zones to the districts and automated policy formulation for the districts by using ontological inference done through the Drool's reasoner. © 2021 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.

Fuzzy regression based patient life risk rate prediction using oxygen level, pulse rate and respiration rate in Covid-19 pandemic (FRPRPS)

Today, the general situation worldwide is that the hospitals, sanatoriums and medical colleges are running out of beds, oxygen, medical staff, ventilators and other required paraphernalia that is mandatory for the treatment of the vicious pandemic [1]. The requirement is for a system that takes in some input parameters like Oxygen level of the patient, pulse rate and respiration rate and in turn predicts the Life Risk Rate of that patient [2]. The model used here is a fuzzy regression model that gives the prediction of Life Risk Rate between 1 and 10 units. The lower the predicted Life Risk Rate, the better the chances of survival of the Covid patient. But if the predicted Life Risk Rate is more than the mean of the observations of the Risk in the dataset, then immediate emergency is needed. The benefit of this system is that the patients requiring immediate admission and treatment can be filtered and medical aid in hospital be thereby provided for critical patients. Rest may be home quarantined and domestic medical aid may be given to them until in some unfortunate situation their Risk Rate is near alarming. This paper aims to provide some help in this crucial situation. © 2021 Gnedenko Forum. All right reserved.
