An Object-Oriented Epidemiological data Modelling System

In this paper a system for modelling the epidemic disease classes which present a prevalent incidence in a given territory is described. Such a system is organised in two different phases. The former consists of the definition, the acquisition and the storage of epidemiological data, and the latter consists of the computation of the parameters by which it is possible to simulate the dynamic of the disease in order to allocate the health resources and to optimise the cost/benefit ratio for a better utilisation of the available resources.
