PROBLEM A:
Eradicating Ebola
The world medical association has announced that their new medication could stop Ebola and cure patients whose disease is not advanced. Build a realistic, sensible, and useful model that considers not only the spread of the disease, the quantity of the medicine needed, possible feasible delivery systems, locations of delivery, speed of manufacturing of the vaccine or drug, but also any other critical factors your team considers necessary as part of the model to optimize the eradication of Ebola, or at least its current strain. In addition to your modeling approach for the contest, prepare a 1-2 page non-technical letter for the world medical association to use in their announcement.
问题A：根除埃博拉病毒
世界医学协会已经宣布他们的新药物能阻止埃博拉病毒并可治愈那些得非晚期疾病的患者。建立一个可行的，明智的，有用的模型，模型不仅要考虑疾病的蔓延、药物的需求量、可能可行的输送系统、输送的位置、疫苗或药物的生产速度，也要考虑你的团队认为有必要作为模型的一部分来优化根除埃博拉病毒，或者至少解决目前压力的其他重要因素。除了你比赛论文中的建模方法，你还要为世界医学协会在他们的公告中使用准备一封1-2页的非技术性的信。
思路：
建立模型
病毒传播模型->元胞自动机/马尔可夫链
药物输送模型->图论
生产模型
模型评价
蔓延速度控制
生产速度

PROBLEM B: Searching for a lost plane
Recall the lost Malaysian flight MH370. Build a generic mathematical model that could assist "searchers" in planning a useful search for a lost plane feared to have crashed in open water such as the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Southern, or Arctic Ocean while flying from Point A to Point B. Assume that there are no signals from the downed plane. Your model should recognize that there are many different types of planes for which we might be searching and that there are many different types of search planes, often using different electronics or sensors. Additionally, prepare a 1-2 page non-technical paper for the airlines to use in their press conferences concerning their plan for future searches.
问题B：寻找失踪的飞机
回忆失联的的马航MH370，建立一个通用的数学模型，可以帮助“搜索者”规划一个有用方案，寻找从A点飞到B点可能坠毁在开放水域如大西洋、太平洋、印度洋，南大洋，或北冰洋的失联飞机。假设坠落的飞机没有信号。你的模型应该认识到,因为有许多不同类型的飞机,所以我们可能会有许多不同类型的搜索和通常使用不同电子或传感器的搜索飞机。另外，准备1-2页的非技术的发言稿，为航空公司在他们的新闻发布会上关于他们的未来搜索计划进行演讲。
思路：
搜索方式
已知大概位置
已知大概时间
搜索位置
具体位置
最后返回报告

水流
