Modeling and Simulation Shrimp Disease Propagation in River Networks and inside Shrimp-pond

Abstract

In this paper we study and apply modeling on agent-based simulation for  simulating the mechanism of shrimp infection inside shrimp-ponds and on the river networks in the region of Mekong Delta, Vietnam. The disease-propagation rules were established based on the way that the pathogens multiply in water-flows  together  with other  infecting  agents  such  as  aquatic  or migrating living things. Inside a shrimp-pond, besides the factors mentioned above, the infecting mechanism also depends on the density of shrimps and the initial number of the pathogens. In this study, we constructed two on-river-infecting scenarios for cases of the occurrence or nonoccurrence of the pathogens and two inside one shrimp-pond  infecting  scenarios. All of the results are written in GAML and executed on GAMA platform.
