Sexual contact networks for disease transmission have been used extensively with HIV and provide valuable insight into the way the disease spreads through a population. These computationally intensive models often suffer from lack of reusability which makes them expensive to create, use, and escalate. We take an innovated approach to build an HIV transmission model designed for expansion and reusability,...
Pandemic influenza has great potential to cause large and rapid increases in deaths and serious illness. The objective of this paper is to develop an agent-based model to simulate the spread of pandemic influenza (novel H1N1) in Egypt. The proposed multi-agent model is based on the modeling of individuals' interactions in a space-time context. The proposed model involves different types of parameters...
Bioterrorism represents a significant threat to society. The lack of successful attacks that have resulted in true epidemics have created a need for data that can be generated from existing known factors. We have taken the popular susceptible-infected-recovery model and created a hybridized model that balances the simplicity of the original with an approximation of what more complex agent-based models...
