IDM is pleased to announce that our 3rd Annual
Modeling Symposium will take place 20 April – 22
April at the centrally located Hyatt Regency in
Bellevue, Washington. We have changed hotel locations this year to accommodate additional sessions
while still offering the same great location in the heart
of downtown Bellevue. If you need hotel accommodations please register at the dedicated Hyatt website by March 23, 2015.
The goal of this symposium is simple – to further collaborations for modeling strategies in the eradication
and control of disease. Day 1, Developer Insights,
offers the opportunity to understand EMOD, IDM’s
flagship disease modeling software, or to explore
COMPS, your research productivity toolkit. We are
actively looking for collaborators to participate in our
early adopter COMPS program. Please note that this
all-day session will be taking place at IDM’s offices in
Bellevue.
Days 2 and 3, Modeling Insights, will target the core
of our disease modeling mission by focusing on the
intersection of data and modeling as applied to global
health. We have changed the format of this year’s
symposium to expand the number of talks from our
collaborators. We welcome Simon Hay from
Oxford/IHME for our plenary session.
Over these two days, we will be looking at careful
model construction, calibration, and understanding
the counterfactual and uncertainties within modeling. We will also be looking at how to address these
issues with exciting new developments in data, ranging from spatial variation in case counts, human
migration, genetic data, and more. There will be a special focus on spatial analysis for global health programs. The full two-day schedule will incorporate
break-out sessions on VPDs, malaria, NIDS, HIV, TB,
and enteric infections.
We are pleased and grateful for your interest and participation in this event and welcome the opportunity
to continue to facilitate collaborations in addressing
these key topics and aiding in the global fight against
disease. For more information see www.idmod.org.

COMPS Essentials
All-day session focused on the COMPS services. COMPS delivers the essential
tools used for infectious disease modeling. This workshop is designed to showcase the benefits of COMPS and enable groups to join the early adopter program.

Introduction to the EMOD Software
This session is intended to take a participant from the Quick Start installation to
their own custom configured simulation. If you’d like help addressing installation to running simulations, this workshop is designed for you.
Upon completion of this session, the participant will be capable of looking at a
simulation (a config.json and campaign.json) and "making basic sense of it." The
participant will be able to reconfigure an existing simulation using parameters
within the Generic model.
Lunches will be provided from 11:30am-1pm outside the Archimedes conference room, Newton building.

Beyond Homogeneous Mixing (HINT and Spatial)
Whether you’re new to the EMOD software or have used it for a while, it’s time
to go beyond the uniform, single geography model and explore heterogeneous
mixing (HINT) and the mixing of geographically distributed populations (spatial).
This presentation will review the default homogeneous mixing model of EMOD
and introduce the HINT and spatial modeling features as well as the input files
for controlling the features and the tools for generating the appropriate input
files. The material covered in this session will enable users to create powerful
simulations that model the heterogeneities of the real world where different
population subgroups have different probabilities of infecting each other.
IDM Symposium- Days 2 and 3 Disease Modeling Sessions
The scientific sessions for this year’s symposium will focus on the intersection of data and modeling as applied to
global health. We will be looking at careful model construction, calibration, understanding the counterfactual and
uncertainty, and how to address these issues with the exciting new developments in data, ranging from spatial variation in case counts, human migration, genetic data, and more.
There will be a special focus on spatial analyses—the questions from programs, the data required to address these
questions, how to improve scientific rigor around spatial models, to development of accessory tools to simplify analyses. Spatial analyses for global health programs will have a special focus on outreach with breakout sessions planned
on polio and other vaccine preventable diseases, HIV and TB, and malaria and neglected infectious diseases.

The Disease Transmission Kernel (DTK) has a number of built-in “reports” for analysis. However,
the built-in reports may not extract the data you need, so this is where a custom report is necessary. This session will review the built-in reports and then guide you through the steps for extracting your custom data.
This session assumes you are familiar with the DTK and have experience with C++ and
Microsoft’s Visual Studio. Please bring your Windows laptop with the V1.8 DTK source code
already installed and building.
