Although there are a lot of studies on preventing the spread of disease and computer viruses in human and computer networks through optimal control [23, 24], information epidemics have attracted less attention (see for example [25]).
During emerging epidemics of infectious diseases, it is vital to have up-to-date information on epidemic trends, such as incidence or health care demand, because hospitals and intensive care units have limited excess capacity.
Information dissemination epidemic models have been developed for different network topologies, e.g., wireless networks [18], social networks [8] and multiple social networks [3], and generalized networks [1].
Also, in [16], there is an implicit introduction (i.e., via the time-varying state of the system) of time-varying behavior on the parameters of the information diffusion epidemic model.
It is however unclear how much co-presence data can inform us on actual face-to-face contacts, of particular interest to study the structure of a population in social groups or for use in data-driven models of information or epidemic spreading processes.
This model provides the strength of information for epidemic alert and captures the uncertainty inherent in prediction.
