When viewing the Technical Program schedule, on the far righthand side
is a column labeled "PLANNER." Use this planner to build your own
schedule. Once you select an event and want to add it to your personal
schedule, just click on the calendar icon of your choice (outlook
calendar, ical calendar or google calendar) and that event will be
stored there. As you select events in this manner, you will have your
own schedule to guide you through the week.
You can also create your personal schedule on the SC11 app (Boopsie) on your smartphone. Simply select a session you want to attend and "add" it to your plan. Continue in this manner until you have created your own personal schedule. All your events will appear under "My Event Planner" on your smartphone.
Modeling Infectious Disease Transmission: Eradicating Malaria and Other Diseases
SESSION: Large Real World Data Centers/Medical
EVENT TYPE: Masterworks
TIME: 10:30AM - 11:15AM
Presenter(s):Karima Nigmatulina, Gene Oates
ROOM:TCC 301/302
ABSTRACT: The Intellectual Ventures Lab Epidemiological Modeling team develops mathematical models of disease transmission and software tools to assist planning of disease control and eradication campaigns. The objective is to deliver a software tool used by the public health community to ground disease campaign planning in model-driven insights. The software allows simulations on High Performance Clusters, exploration of alternate campaign designs, input data management and output analysis. The team focuses on four diseases - malaria, polio, HIV and TB - representing different disease transmission modes. Malaria and Polio will be presented to exemplify the power of complex computational models.
Our approach aims to leverage Moore's Law gains to increase model potential. We use a Monte Carlo individual agent-based approach for running detailed, geographically-specific simulations on a multi-core cluster. This software will be freely released for academic research and humanitarian uses for developing world research.
