Spatial Agent-Based Simulation Modeling in Public HealthDesign, Implementation, and Applications for Malaria Epidemiology\nAuthor(s): S. M. Niaz Arifin, Gregory R. Madey, Frank H. Collins\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc, United States\nImprint: John Wiley & Sons Inc\nISBN-13: 9781118964354, 978-1118964354\nSynopsis\nPresents an overview of the complex biological systems used within a global public health setting and features a focus on malaria analysis\n\n Bridging the gap between agent-based modeling and simulation (ABMS) and geographic information systems (GIS), Spatial Agent-Based Simulation Modeling in Public Health: Design, Implementation, and Applications for Malaria Epidemiology provides a useful introduction to the development of agent-based models (ABMs) by following a conceptual and biological core model of Anopheles gambiae for malaria epidemiology. Using spatial ABMs, the book includes mosquito (vector) control interventions and GIS as two exam.
