EpiRust is an open-source, large-scale, distributed agent-based epidemic simulation framework. It follows a minimalist approach for modeling an epidemic in a virtual society. An agent in the simulation is an individual person with certain characteristics and behaviours attached to it. These agents interact with the environment and among themselves giving rise to various different emergent phenomena. In this talk, we would be sharing our journey about, how we started from serial implementation representing one city with 5 million agents to distributed setup which can simulate more than 100+ million agents depicting multiple cities and even larger geographical areas.
