By developing an extremely detailed simulation of the US population, researchers are hoping to understand how contagious diseases spread through society.

(PhysOrg.com) — Researchers from Virginia Tech are developing a computer simulation that matches the movements of all 300 million people in towns across the US. The team hopes that the model will help them understand the spread of contagious diseases, fads, and traffic flows.

Yay! Logistik! Das Simulationsmodell (und die Rechner dafür) will ich sehen.
