9 ERGM vs ABM ERGM gives you realistic network-level guarantees but lacks realistic individual agency The network gets to change realistically over time What each agent is doing could be unrealistic ABM gives you lack realistic individual agency but lacks realistic network-level guarantees Each agent gets to change realistically over time What the network is doing could be unrealistic

10 MABUSE MABUSE gives you realistic network-level but lacks realistic individual agency The network gets to change realistically over time What each agent is doing could be unrealistic ABM gives you lack realistic individual agency but lacks realistic network-level guarantees Each agent gets to change realistically over time What the network is doing could be unrealistic

65 Multi-pathogen scenario Network Layer Drug layer Transmission probability #1 Transmission probability #1

66 Multi-pathogen Multi-layer scenario Network Layer #1 Drug layer Transmission probability #1 Transmission probability #1 Network Layer #2 Sex layer Transmission probability #1 Transmission probability #1

67 Design of MABUSE Key features Dynamic network simulation Multiple (dynamic) node attributes Multiple (dynamic) edge layers Multiple simultaneous pathogens Stochastically defined node agency E.g. risk activity along network edges on different layers is what drives the flow of multiple pathogen types

68 How is the implementation going to be validated? Validate Network Dynamism Validate Pathogen Flow

69 Validation of Network Simulation 1. Take a real network. Compute statistics A. Structure (univariates and bivariates) B. Dynamism (ideal degrees, longevity) 2. Use 1A+1B to do a 10 year simulation. At the end, Compute statistics A. Structure (univariates and bivariates) B. Dynamism (ideal degrees, longevity) Is 1A "close" to 2A? Is 1B "close" to 2B? Use Shannon-Jensen divergence to measure the "distance" between distributions

81 Multi Actor-Based Universal Simulation Engine MABUSE is stochastic, agent-based, discrete event simulator for epidemics in dynamic networks. The simulator runs on specialized highperformance hardware and is capable of running simulations of dynamic networks having 1,000,000+ nodes, and handling approximately 800 million discrete events per second.

82 Conclusion MABUSE allows us to simulate Multiple (dynamic) node attributes Multiple (dynamic) edge layers Multiple simultaneous pathogens A realistic dynamic network From the POV of an agent (micro, ABM-style) From POV of the network (macro, ERGM-style) Model where each agent takes into account its own properties and the properties of other agents to make connections, and act on those connections
