The document outlines a bioterrorism simulation project aimed at modeling disease transmission within an interconnected population of 2,000 individuals. It describes the generation of mixing groups based on family, schools, neighborhoods, and workplaces, utilizing random number generators for health status evaluation. Key components include city framework generation, population structure with diverse age groups, and data structures for managing individuals and mixing groups.

1. Project 1 - Bioterrorism Simulation Abstract: We want to simulate an interconnected population
where a subset is infected and we map how the disease is transmitted across families,
neighborhoods, and the city. Constants will be taken from the Epstein et. al. paper. 1. Persons 2.
Mixing groups - separate ids for family, schools, neighborhoods, places of employ and misc. 3.
Functions to evaluate status (diagnosis, and change of health condition) 4. Random number
generators both uniform and normal distributions. 1. City Frame work generator a. Generate the
schools 1 college, 2 High Schools, 4 middle, 8 elementary b. Generate the hospital c. Generate
80 misc mixing groups 2. Population Generation Module a. Initially 2000 people i. Age 1.
School 2. Work 3. Misc ii. Family 1 to 7 , and at least age 18 1. Generate 1 adult ( 18 + ) 2.
Generate 0 to 6 ( 1 + ) 3. Age 1 to 5 requires a possible generation of a daycare. 4. School group
is added based on age 5. Place of employment 18 to 65 6. Increment the total number of
generated families. 3. Structure of a mixing group Int Gid Int Tid ( 0 family, 1 school, etc..) List
of person * that belong to that group, "Members' Ex: Gid = 100/// Group id Tid = 3 /// Type id
Members = , All mixing groups are stored in a List of Groups Initially the Mixing group list will
have the schools and hospital And 80 misc. groups. As families are generated we will add a
family mixing group to the list. 4. Conclusions so far a. Two major data structures i. List of
persons ii. List of mixing groups, each of which contains a list of person pointers.
