The folks at the Center for Computational Analysis of Social and Organizational Systems (CASOS) at Carnegie Mellon have been developing BioWar, which is designed to help policymakers evaluate different alternatives for responding to a smallpox attack. BioWar combines
state-of-the-art computational models of social networks, communication media, disease models, demographically accurate agent models, wind dispersion models, and a diagnostic error model into a single integrated model of the impact of an attack on a city.
To use BioWar, you will need a computer running Fedora Core 3, a Linux-based operating system.
