  • Project Log: Day 15

    A short entry to mention the actual observable/understandable progress. So you have a few nodes on a network (with some considerations). You can act on two variables for each of the nodes: Their protection (beta) or their quickness to clear an infection (mu). Improving both parameters for a node reduces the risk of infection for…

  • Project Log: Day 14 – It works!

    Here is where I’m at: My computer is apparently able to choose on which nodes of a network to act, to best contain an infection from spreading across a network, within preset constraints. One image (or one like it) could well be the conclusion of the first part of my dissertation: Many validations and long…

  • Project Log: Day 14 – It… Doesn’t work (yet)

    So this is actually about yesterday’s work, which took place until quite late into the night. (Well, to my standards, it probably wasn’t THAT late). Status The situation is as follows: I implemented basically everything, that is, including a rudimentary Genetic Algorithm to try out different “policies” (varying Beta and Mu per node), and then…
