Abstract :
This paper focuses on simulating the infectious process on a computer. To simulate how an infectious viral disease spreads not only shows how people get sick, it can also be a powerful tool in disease prevention. You can test actions such as to isolate people that get sick and analyze if the disease spread can be circumscribed or stopped. Special focus is given to SARS and the Common Flu.
