Dynamic complex network based on status value for infectious disease

ABSTRACT

COVID-19 plays role in every part of the world;especially, it does harm to lives of people. Thus, COVID-19 sounds the alarm that is very important to build an effective mechanism to help prevent pandemic disease. In this work, dynamic network based on status value is built, which aims to help simulate the added danger level by the addition of infected people or close contacts. First, each node of this network is labelled with different kinds of status which has special value to show its danger degree. Then, the weight of the network represents the relationship of nodes;with the value of each node, average length and average spread of danger level is calculated based on the accumulation of dynamic weight. Thus, epidemic speed and scope of the infectious disease can be simulated. Moreover, the experiments compared to other networks have verified the effectiveness of our model. © The Authors.
