Exploring an epidemic in an e-science environment

The rules of bio-epidemic and e-epidemic, which inspire scientists to create a live interconnected environment for effectively managing situations in nature, society, and the digital virtual world, are discussed. The China Knowledge Grid Research Group explored the spread rules of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) to build a cross-regional cooperative research and management environment for public health. The practice of simulating the SARS epidemic provides the ability to experience the overall evolution processes of a live scalable network. The e-science Knowledge Grid environment supports advanced services for effective scientific activities based on effective information, knowledge, and service sharing.
