Epiwork coordination team will contribute to ESOF 2010, the Euroscience Open Forum that will be held in Torino, Italy, July 2 - 7, 2010.
ESOF is the biennial pan-European meeting dedicated to scientific research and innovation, created by Euroscience. ESOF takes place every two years, in a major European city, and presents breakthroughs in disciplines as varied as mathematics, music, geography, genetics etc. through a range of different formats including lectures, workshops etc. more »

Epiwork Computational Modeling Platform is based on GLEaM, a discrete stochastic epidemic computational model based on a meta-population approach in which the world is defined in geographical census areas connected in a network of interactions by human travel fluxes corresponding to transportation infrastructures and mobility patterns.

The GLEaMviz Simulator is a software system with an intuitive and flexible GUI for the simulation of emerging infectious diseases spreading across the world, that we developed during the last 2 years. The software system levers on GLEaM, and its design maximizes flexibility in the definition of the disease compartmental model and in the configuration of the simulation scenario, allowing the user to set a variety of parameters, from compartment-specific features, to transition values, to environmental effects. The output of the simulation is then provided in terms of a dynamic map visualization and sets of charts to quantitatively describe the geotemporal evolution of the disease.

The software is based on a Client-server system. The GLEaMviz Simulator Client uses the Adobe AIR 1.5 runtime and can thus be installed on recent versions of the following operating systems: Windows, Mac OS X, Linux.
For more details on the GLEaMviz Simulator and its use visit the GLEaMviz Simulator webpage.

Epiwork project will participate to the FET exhibition organized by the FET Units in the European Parliament in Strasbourg on 20-21st April 2010. The objective of the event is to illustrate to the Members of the European Parliament and in particular to the ITRE Committee members the kind of research funded under the FET program.

There will be 6 thematic stands shared by two FET projects. The theme titles are: Understanding Global Systems, Better Living, Brain inspired Technologies, Data Deluge and Privacy, Observing and Learning from Nature and Human-Computer Confluence.

The Epiwork project stand will be included in the “Understanding Global Systems” exhibit.
