Abstract

The goals of this project are:

• Design simulation software for a set of selected and representative infection diseases, running on a personal computer and not requiring programming skills for its use.

• Determine the conditions under which an epidemic would spread or die out. In case of an epidemic spreading, determine the directions and the speed of the spreading.

• Derive and analyze optimized policies and guidelines for containment and prevention of the selected infection diseases.
