Once you select an event and want to add it to your personal schedule, just click on the calendar icon of your choice (outlook calendar, ical calendar or google calendar) and that event will be stored there. As you select events in this manner, you will have your own schedule to guide you through the week.
Preparing for Next Pandemic by Harnessing the Power of Pervasive Supercomputing
SESSION: Emerging Technologies
EVENT TYPE: Emerging Technologies
TIME: 10:00AM - 5:30PM
ROOM:Booth 3547
ABSTRACT:
We propose to showcase a 15 year program on Computational
Epidemiology: development and use of computer models for understanding
the spatio-temporal diffusion of disease through populations.
Controlled experiments used to understand scientific phenomenon are
much harder and often impossible to do when studying epidemiology, due
to ethical, and often practical reasons. As a result, computational
models play an important role in elucidating the space-time dynamics
of epidemics. They also serve an important role in evaluating various
intervention strategies, including pharmaceutical and
non-pharmaceutical interventions. Recent advances in high performance
computing, software services and proliferation of the web and handheld
devices and sensors have created entirely new opportunities to understand epidemics and devise new ways to control them. By combining interactive games, videos, talks by experts and presentation, we will showcase our program highlighting the use of pervasive high performance computing technologies to support important federal case studies.
