EpiSimS is a stochastic, agent-based simulation engine that models the spread of disease in regions, allowing for the assessment of disease prevention, intervention, and response strategies. EpiSimS explicitly represents the daily movements and interactions of synthetic individuals in a city or region, including their interactions with others. It is used as an experimental test bed for analyzing the consequences, feasibility, and effectiveness of response options to disease outbreaks.

The HCSim model is used to gauge the impact of mass-casualty incidents on hospital capacity.

The HYDRA integration architecture is an effort to develop a service-oriented architecture for integrated Web-based access of LANL agent-modeling capabilities. The work here includes both semantic and syntactic interoperability issues, optimization, computing performance, human machine interface design, and multi-scale, multi-model simulation and analysis software integration.

Six Rules That Should Govern Your Big Data Existence. Here are some rules from my experience in the small data world that I've come to believe also apply to the big data world, perhaps even more so. As you go about your big data journey you'll meet with even more immense success if you consider these valuable life lessons:

Eli Pariser explores how ideas move in the networked economy. As the board president of MoveOn.org, he pioneered many practices of online organizing. Now, Pariser is focused on the social and political impact of the personalized web, examining the role that filters - both cognitive and software-based - have in shaping what information spreads, which he refers to as the Filter Bubble .

core technology consists of: real-time content aggregation a four-step spam filtering process an accurate sentiment engine robust geo-demographic information sophisticated text analytics and language processing algorithms

In today's hyper-connected world, social media and online customer interactions are changing the way companies do business from the outside in. Leading brands recognize that their customers are both passionate and vocal about their products and services, and they are sharing their experiences in conversations every day. Until recently, however, social monitoring tools allowed you to listen to these conversations, but lacked the sophisticated analytics capabilities needed to derive critical business insights. Attensity enables you to go beyond mere social media monitoring to: LISTEN to social customer conversations from over 75 million online sources, including the full Twitter Firehose, Facebook, blogs, communities, forums and other sources. ANALYZE those conversations for key business insights, going beyond basic sentiment to get detailed reports on customer feedback about new products, campaigns, brands, service and support, and other business drivers. RELATE that intelligence to structured data within your existing customer systems such as CRM, ERP, BI, EFM and other systems. ACT with a Playbook that allows you to take charge of emerging issues and manage the customer experience based on your own organizational structure and business processes.
