Abstract
A cellular automaton model with extended neighborhood is presented to simulate an infectious disease outbreak. The model facilitates the study of the dynamics of epidemics of different infectious diseases. The effects of different infectivity parameters, infectious cycles, and medical intervention strategies have been studied. The proposed model can serve as a quantitative basis for future medical intervention strategies.
