A full software stack for epidemic disease management: Unlocking the joint potential of software technology and supercomputing
Jonas Gilg, Johann Fredrik Jadebeck, Mariama Jaiteh +22
Infectious diseases remain a major threat to human societies. During the recent COVID-19 pandemic, mathematical modeling and extensive computer simulations proved highly effective…
Assessment of Simulation-based Inference Methods for Stochastic Compartmental Models in Epidemiological Research
Vincent Wieland, Nils Wassmuth, Lorenzo Contento +2
Global pandemics, such as the recent COVID-19 crisis, highlight the need for stochastic epidemic models that can capture the randomness inherent in the spread of disease. Such mode…
Efficient numerical computation of traveler states in explicit mobility-based metapopulation models: Mathematical theory and application to epidemics
Henrik Zunker, René Schmieding, Jan Hasenauer +1
Metapopulation models are powerful tools for capturing the spatio-temporal spread of infectious diseases. Models that explicitly account for traveler origins and destinations, such…
MEmilio -- A high performance Modular EpideMIcs simuLatIOn software for multi-scale and comparative simulations of infectious disease dynamics
Julia Bicker, Carlotta Gerstein, David Kerkmann +33
Epidemic and pandemic preparedness with rapid outbreak response rely on timely, trustworthy evidence. Mathematical models are crucial for supporting timely and reliable evidence ge…
On the Effect of Missing Transmission Chain Information in Agent-Based Models: Outcomes of Superspreading Events and Workplace Transmission
Sascha Korf, Sophia Johanna Wagner, Gerta Köster +1
Agent-based models (ABMs) have emerged as distinguished tools for epidemic modeling due to their ability to capture detailed human contact patterns and can, thus, support decision-…
Differentially private federated learning for localized control of infectious disease dynamics
Raouf Kerkouche, Henrik Zunker, Mario Fritz +1
In times of epidemics, swift reaction is necessary to mitigate epidemic spreading. For this reaction, localized approaches have several advantages, limiting necessary resources and…
