Research abstract
DESCRIPTION: This project will develop software tools for assessing the impacts
of model assumptions on decisions regarding the analysis, surveillance, and
control of infectious diseases. Most analyses consider sensitivity only to
changes in a model's parameter values, and ignore how assumptions of model form
(e.g. deterministic vs. stochastic, ODE vs. discrete individual) impact results
and concomitant decisions. The research will: (1) Conduct a requirements
analysis to specify the simulation engines and functionality to incorporate in
the software. (2) Develop and test a software prototype to evaluate
feasibility of the proposed approaches. (3) Build, test and implement a
complete software package based on results of the prototype. (4) Apply the
software and methods to demonstrate the approach and its unique benefits for
disease and surveillance control.
The Phase I research will address the first two aims; aims three and four will
be accomplished in Phase II once feasibility is demonstrated. The technologic
and scientific innovations from this project are expected to revolutionize our
ability to formulate sound decisions regarding the analysis, surveillance and
control of infectious diseases.
