Providing High Performance Computing based Models as a Service: Architecture and Services for Modeling Contagions on Large Networked Populations
… referred to individually and collectively as contagions. Contagions are increasingly studied because of their economic, social, and political impacts. Yet, resources for studying network dynamics are largely dispersed and stand-alone. Furthermore, many researchers interested in the study of …

High Performance Computational Social Science Modeling of Networked Populations
… referred to individually and collectively as contagions), are increasingly studied because of their economic, social, and political impacts. Moreover, multiple contagions may interact and hence studying their simultaneous evolution is important. Within the context of social media, large …

Modeling and Predicting Incidence: Critical Systems Failures and Flu Infection Cases
… predicting the incidence of different types of contagions. In the case of CI, the contagions are the failures of facilities. In the case of flu spread, the contagions are the infective ILI. In this thesis, in the case of CI, we give a novel model of failure cascades and use it to identify key …

The Politics of Contagion
… purpose of preventing and mitigating the risks contagions pose. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other agencies across the globe pour millions of dollars each year into eliminating the risk of contagions and making the world a safer place. However, while more resources …

NeuralPALS - learning exposure functions and infection probabilities for contagion spread
Understanding how contagions spread is an important task, particularly when considering infectious diseases. An individual's likelihood of getting infected by a contagion is determined by a combination of inherent susceptibility and exposure to other individuals who may spread the disease. In a …

Development of Person-Person Network and Interacting PTTS in EpiSimdemics
… exposure to an infectious agent, whereas social contagions can be spread using various communications media like social networking forums, phones, emails and tweets. EpiSimdemics is an individual-based modeling environment. It uses a people-location bipartite graph as the underlying network [3]. …

Gross Gods and Icky Atheism: Disgust Responses to Rejected Religious Beliefs
… and that both negative and positive moral contagions can be removed through physical cleansing. The implications of the results are discussed, including the possibility that holding true beliefs is an important component of one’s sense of moral purity, and that disgust helps protect these …

… waste — continuously synthesised materials and contagions that co-evolve with organic processes — create a hybrid ecosystem. In articulating my practice and its thematic resonances, I am guided by posthumanist theorists Timothy Morton, Jane Bennett, Karen Barad, and Elizabeth Grosz. My …

Generalizations of Threshold Graph Dynamical Systems
… referred to individually and collectively as contagions), are increasingly studied because of their social, political, and economic impacts. Discrete dynamical systems (discrete in time and discrete in agent states) are often used to quantify contagion propagation in populations that are cast …

Optimizing and Understanding Network Structure for Diffusion
… can be treated as a behavior of spreading contagions (like viruses, ideas, memes, etc.) on some underlying network. It is omnipresent in areas such as social media, public health, and cyber security. Examples include diseases like flu spreading on person-to-person contact networks, memes …

Financial contagion in emerging markets evidence from BRICS countries
The present study examines the pure form of contagions in the BRICS countries, namely Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. The pure form of contagion refers to the propagations of shocks due to reasons that are not related macroeconomic fundamentals, and are solely the result of …
