Abstract

Epidemic episodes such as the COVID-19 has shown the need for simulation tools to support decision making, predict the results of control actions, and mitigating the effects of the virus. Simulation methods have been widely used by healthcare researchers and practitioners to improve the planning and management of hospitals and predict the spread of disease. Simulating all involved aspects of an epidemic episode requires the modelling and simulation of large and complex Discrete Event Systems (DESs), supported by modular and hierarchical models easy to use for experts, and that can be translated to efficient code for distributed simulation. This paper presents a model driven engineering (MDE) approach to support the modelling of healthcare systems (HS) in epidemic episodes combining different perspectives, and the translation to efficient code for scalable distributed simulations.
