Agent-Based Models (Part 5)

Agent-based models are crucial in modern epidemiology. But currently, many of these models are large monolithic computer programs—opaque to everyone but their creators. That’s no way to do science!

Our team of category theorists, computer scientists, and public health experts has come up with a cool plan to create agent-based models out of small reusable modules which can be explained, tested, compared and shared. This will make it easier to compare different models and build new ones. As a...
