An Agent-Based Spatially Explicit Epidemiological Model in MASON
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper outlines the design and implementation of an agent-based epidemiological simulation system. The system was implemented in the MASON toolkit, a set of Java-based agent-simulation libraries. This epidemiological simulation system is robust and extensible for multiple applications, including classroom demonstrations of many types of epidemics and detailed numerical experimentation on a particular disease. The application has been made available as an applet on the MASON web site, and as source code on the author's web site.

Mean-Field Semantics for a Process Calculus for Spatially-Explicit Ecological Models
We define a mean-field semantics for S-PALPS, a process calculus for spatially-explicit, individualbased modeling of ecological systems. The new semantics of S-PALPS allows an interpretation of the average behavior of a system as a set of recurrence equations. Recurrence equations are a useful approximation when dealing with a large number of individuals, as it is the case in epidemiological st...
متن کاملA conceptual framework for an individual-based spatially explicit epidemiological model
This paper presents a conceptual framework to formalize an individual-based and spatially explicit model of the epidemiology of infectious diseases. The framework differs from that of the traditional population-based epidemiological models in terms of assumptions, conceptual models, and model structures. In particular, the author discusses four aspects of the model: (1) population segments or u...

متن کاملSEARUMS: Studying Epidemiology of Avian Influenza Rapidly Using Modeling and Simulation
Effectively combating avian influenza using constrained resources requires strategic planning and preemptive deployment of countermeasures. However, success of such proactive approaches is contingent on accurate and rapid forecasting of epicenters and time lines of outbreaks using epidemiological analyses. A pragmatic and effective methodology for such epidemiological analysis is computer-based...
متن کاملAgents and Decision Trees from Microdata
This paper discusses the development of a model of the household migration behavior of a nation’s population. From information synthesized from across available microdata sources which are each temporally, spatially, or topically inconsistent in coverage, we learned decision trees and instantiated agents in an agent-based model. The generative results of the whole-country simulation of this ABM...
