Simulation of SARS based on Cellular Automata

摘要：

This paper proposes on a epidemic model based on Cellular Automata (CA). We developed a two-dimensional CA model. Based on this model, we simulated the spread process of SARS patients in Beijing from April, 21,2003 to July, 1, 2003. The simulation results are consistent with the actual data, and this shows that the model has practical application value, and can provide support for epidemic control decision-making. The CA model has more advantages than conventional differential equation model in epidemic simulation.
