Abstract
Epidemic spreading can follow different routes, which can be mapped as layers in social networks. A great challenge in computational epidemics todays is to determine how the structure of the network influences the propagation. In this project, we aim at applying statistical inference methods for quantification of which network properties most influence the propagation of disease and rumors. In addition, we will model the social organization as made up by several layers. Finally, we will study how awareness influences the propagation of an infectious agent. These studies will contribute for developing new methods for epidemic forecasting and control. (AU)
