The NetLego Experiment

Model Taken for Experiment: Virus on a Network ( NetLogo Models Library : Sample Models/Networks) Stonedahl, F. and Wilensky, U. (2008).  NetLogo Virus on a Network model.  http://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/models/VirusonaNetwork.  Center for Connected Learning and Computer-Based Modeling, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL. §   Tool Used:  NetLogo 5.2.1 (NetLego: * Wilensky, U. (1999). NetLogo. http://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/. Center for Connected Learning and Computer-Based Modeling, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL.) Brief Description About The Model: This model demonstrates the spread of a virus through a network.  Although the model is somewhat abstract, one interpretation is that each node represents a computer, and we are modeling the progress of a computer virus (or worm) through this network.  Each node may be in one of three states:  susceptible, infected, or resistant.  In the academic literature such a model is sometimes referred to as an SIR
