Summary

Social contacts are an important channel for the propagation of disease through a population and should be considered in conjunction with traditional epidemic diffusion. Such channels should always be taken into account for a realistic estimation of a long-term impact of a disease outbreak (natural or malicious) and for the best response options. This paper describes our recent experience in developing a simple agentbased model to simulate disease propagation through a social network and validating the results of the agent-based simulation by reconciling it with a well-known mathematical model.
