EpiCast

Abstract
The software models the infectious disease spread throughout a spatially distributed population of individuals, each of who belongs to a variety of contact (mixing) groups in which person-to-person transmissions may occur. The time step resolution is 12 hours, so each individual has a set of daytime and nighttime contact groups, which may be geographically separated.

The code is written in C, and requires a supercomputer (100-500 processors) working several days to run the average model.

Applications
