Filed:

Oct 16, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/285920

Inventors:

Rogers A. Edwards - Boxborough MA, US
Alan Karl Graham - Lexington MA, US
Michael Martin Amati - Syracuse NY, US
Melissa Kiriaki Williams - Boston MA, US
Caroline Rachael Wright - Buckinghamshire, GB
Mei-Ching Lee - London, GB
Nick Hughes - Peterborough, GB

International Classification:

G06G 7/60

US Classification:

703 6

Abstract:

A system and method for evaluating one or more interventions having a direct or indirect impact on a disease identification or a disease progression incorporating a causal framework to establish relationships among the disease, complications, and comorbidities. The system and method determines population groups and risk factors for the disease, complications, and comorbidities. The system and method structures and calibrates a simulation model of the relationships, population groups, and risk factors and characterizes interventions. The system and method analyzes the characterized interventions to determine the direct or indirect impact of the interventions on the disease identification or progression using the simulation model. An indication of the impact of the interventions is provided on an electronic display or to a memory device.

International Classification:

G06F 17/50

US Classification:

703 2, 703 22

Abstract:

A method includes, based on information received from a user through a graphical user interface, forming and storing elements that define a model that can be run by a computer to simulate operation of a real-world system that includes real-world features. The method includes including in the elements that are formed and stored, collections of software entities that correspond to the real-world features, and running the model using the software entities.

International Classification:

G06Q 10/06

US Classification:

705 38, 705301

Abstract:

Among other things, a calibrated and tested dynamic simulation model of at least one municipality or institution or commercial entity is operated to generate information that enables the municipality or institution or commercial entity and suppliers of products for development projects of the municipality or institution or commercial entity to engage in execution of development projects that the model demonstrates will enhance the performance and sustainability of the municipality or institution or commercial entity. The simulation model of the municipality or institution or commercial entity is used to monitor and influence the execution of the development projects or ongoing operations and policies of the municipality or institution or commercial entity. Financers of the development projects are provided with information from operation of the dynamic simulation model that demonstrates the performance and sustainability of the municipality or institution or commercial entity and the acceptability of risks associated with the financing of the projects or operations.
