Abstract

This article presents an epidemic model supported by agents and heuristic rules, using the Science of Complexity approach. The model was implemented in the NetLogo programming environment and is available for use. It is verified that the dynamics that emerge from the simulations correspond to a profile of exponential growth in the total number of infected. The proposed model was used to evaluate the performance of two strategies for the containment of the propagation of an infectious disease: a) avoidance of close contacts and, b) detection and timely isolation of the newly infected people. The results of the simula tions show that the best strategy is that of timely detection and isolation.
