JUNE-Germany: An Agent-Based Epidemiology Simulation including Multiple Virus Strains, Vaccinations and Testing Campaigns
The June software package is an open-source framework for the detailed simulation of epidemics based on social interactions in a virtual population reflecting age, gender, ethnicity, and socio-economic indicators in England. In this paper, we present a new version of the framework specifically adapted for Germany, which allows the simulation of the entire German population using publicly available information on households, schools, universities, workplaces, and mobility data for Germany. Moreover, JuneGermany incorporates testing and vaccination strategies within the population as well as the simultaneous handling of several different virus strains. First validation tests of the framework have been performed for the state of Rhineland Palatinate based on data collected between October 2020 and December 2020 and then extrapolated to March 2021, i.e. the end of the second wave.

On the Impact of School Closures on COVID-19 Transmission in Germany using an agent-based Simulation
The effect of school closures on the spread of COVID-19 has been discussed among experts and the general public since those measures have been taken only a few months after the start of the pandemic in 2020. Within this …
Bayesian calibration of stochastic agent based model via random forest
Agent-based models (ABM) provide an excellent framework for modeling outbreaks and interventions in epidemiology by explicitly accounting for diverse individual interactions and environments. However, these models are us…

The nation-wide lockdown starting 25 March 2020, aimed at suppressing the spread of the COVID-19 disease, was extended until 31 May 2020 in three subsequent orders by the Government of India. The extended lockdown has ha…
Differentiable Agent-based Epidemiology
Mechanistic simulators are an indispensable tool for epidemiology to explore the behavior of complex, dynamic infections under varying conditions and navigate uncertain environments. Agent-based models (ABMs) are an incr…
