Fast event-based epidemiological simulations on national scales
We present a computational modeling framework for data-driven simulations and analysis of infectious disease spread in large populations. For the purpose of efficient simulations, we devise a parallel solution algorithm targeting multi-socket shared memory architectures. The model integrates infectious dynamics as continuous-time Markov chains and available data such as animal movements or aging are incorporated as externally defined events. To bring out parallelism and accelerate the computations, we decompose the spatial domain and optimize cross-boundary communication using dependency-aware task scheduling. Using registered livestock data at a high spatio-temporal resolution, we demonstrate that our approach not only is resilient to varying model configurations, but also scales on all physical cores at realistic work loads. Finally, we show that these very features enable the solution of inverse problems on national scales.

SimInf: An R package for Data-driven Stochastic Disease Spread Simulations
We present the R package SimInf which provides an efficient and very flexible framework to conduct data-driven epidemiological modeling in realistic large scale disease spread simulations. The framework integrates infect…
C++ codeInternet search effort on Covid-19 and the underlying public interventions and epidemiological status
Disease spread is a complex phenomenon requiring an interdisciplinary approach. Covid-19 exhibited a global spatial spread in a very short time frame resulting in a global pandemic. Data of web search effort in Greece on…
EpiRust: Towards A Framework For Large-scale Agent-based Epidemiological Simulations Using Rust Language
To implement large-scale agent-based simulations, developers historically relied on C and C++ due to performance, while struggling to deal with tedious explicit memory management. This struggle translates into software d…
ManagementMethodological Precedence in Health Tech: Why ML/Big Data Analysis Must Follow Basic Epidemiological Consistency. A Case Study
The integration of advanced analytical tools, including Machine Learning (ML) and massive data processing, has revolutionized health research, promising unprecedented accuracy in diagnosis and risk prediction. However, t…
Inference of COVID-19 epidemiological distributions from Brazilian hospital data
Knowing COVID-19 epidemiological distributions, such as the time from patient admission to death, is directly relevant to effective primary and secondary care planning, and moreover, the mathematical modelling of the pan…
