论文摘要
在评估流行病学模拟中使用的软件质量时，涉及许多规范和技术问题。在本文中，我们回答了其中一些问题，并为从业人员，资助者，科学期刊和流行病学研究的消费者提供了实践指导。我们论文的核心是对伦敦帝国学院（ICL）COVID-19模拟器的一个案例研究。我们认为，应在软件工程社区共同建立的安全性和飞机控制范围内开发的安全 - 关键标准框架内对流行病学模拟器进行设计和评估。
There are many normative and technical questions involved in evaluating the quality of software used in epidemiological simulations. In this paper we answer some of these questions and offer practical guidance to practitioners, funders, scientific journals, and consumers of epidemiological research. The heart of our paper is a case study of the Imperial College London (ICL) COVID-19 simulator. We contend that epidemiological simulators should be engineered and evaluated within the framework of safety-critical standards developed by the consensus of the software engineering community for applications such as automotive and aircraft control.
