摘要: This paper describes a novel approach based on combination of techniques in AI, parallel computing, and network science to address an important problem social sciences public health: planning responding the event epidemics. Spread infectious disease is societal -- human behavior, networks, civil infrastructures all play crucial role initiating controlling such epidemic processes.  We specifically consider economic effects realistic interventions  proposed adopted by health officials behavioral changes  of  private citizens ``flu-like'' epidemic. Our results provide new insights for developing robust policies that can prove useful planning.
