NAMD is a parallel molecular dynamics code designed for high‐performance simulation of
large biomolecular systems. NAMD scales to hundreds of processors on high‐end parallel …

The study of epidemics is useful for not only understanding outbreaks and trying to limit their
adverse effects, but also because epidemics are related to social phenomena such as …

In this review paper, we discuss graphical dynamical systems (GDSs) and their applications
to biological and social systems (bio-social systems). Traditionally, differential equation …

Eliminating interactions among individuals is an important means of blocking contagion
spread, eg, closing schools during an epidemic or shutting down electronic communication …

This book highlights the use of Charm++ in a wide variety of scientific and engineering
fields. It emphasizes the adaptivity, asynchrony, and message-driven execution of Charm++ …

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic underscores the importance of developing reliable
forecasts that would allow decision makers to devise appropriate response strategies …

I investigate the consistency of agent-based computational models with the institutionalist
research program as outlined by Myrdal, Wilber and Harrison, Hodgson and others. In …

Contagion dynamics on networks are used to study many problems, including disease and
virus epidemics, incarceration, obesity, protests and rebellions, needle sharing in drug use …

We study the problem of inhibiting diffusion of complex contagions such as rumors,
undesirable fads and mob behavior in social networks by removing a small number of nodes …

The building blocks of these systems consist of a collection of variables (mapping to agents),
a graph that captures the dependence relations of agents on other agents, a local update …
