          Abstract

          LeoTask is a Java library for computation-intensive and time-consuming research tasks. It automatically executes tasks in parallel on multiple CPU cores on a computing facility. It uses a configuration file to enable automatic exploration of parameter space and flexible aggregation of results, and therefore allows researchers to focus on programming the key logic of a computing task. It also supports reliable recovery from interruptions, dynamic and cloneable networks, and integration with the plotting software Gnuplot.

          Edge-Based Compartmental Modeling for Infectious Disease Spread Part I: An Overview

          The primary tool for predicting infectious disease spread and intervention effectiveness is the mass action Susceptible-Infected-Recovered model of Kermack and McKendrick. Its usefulness derives largely from its conceptual and mathematical simplicity; however, it incorrectly assumes all individuals have the same contact rate and contacts are fleeting. This paper is the first of three investigating edge-based compartmental modeling, a technique eliminating these assumptions. In this paper, we derive simple ordinary differential equation models capturing social heterogeneity (heterogeneous contact rates) while explicitly considering the impact of contact duration. We introduce a graphical interpretation allowing for easy derivation and communication of the model. This paper focuses on the technique and how to apply it in different contexts. The companion papers investigate choosing the appropriate level of complexity for a model and how to apply edge-based compartmental modeling to populations with various sub-structures.
