Research on COVID-19 spreading infection simulation, by Prof. Hirotaka Takahashi who is a member of Center for Space Science and Data Driven Design Research Unit of Institute for Future City Studies, in Advanced Research Laboratories, and Nihon University group led by Assistant Prof. Yuto Omae, has been selected as one of the research awards of Life Intelligence and Office Information Systems (LOIS) in Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE).

This conference paper [1] shows one of the results of our COVID-19 spreading infection simulation. We discussed the effectiveness of the COVID-19 Contact-Confirming Application (COCOA) on decreasing the number of infected persons based on a Multi Agent simulation.

In our series of research on COVID-19 spreading infection simulation, we also shared the results and data to related parties. We would like to continue our research, share the results and data as the materials for consideration to make better decisions.
