Abstract
The computer viruses is a serious problem to individual and corporative
computer systems, a lot of effort has been dedicated to study how to avoid their
deleterious actions, trying to create anti-virus programs acting as vaccines in
personal computers or in strategic network nodes. Another way to combat virus
propagation is to establish preventive policies based on the whole operation of a
system that can be modeled with population models, similar to those that are
used in epidemiological studies.
This paper introduced the SAI1I2R model based on the epidemiological study.
The equilibrium points (virus-free and endemic), stability, basic reproduction
numbers (R0), quantitative and qualitative analysis are calculated and some
numerical experiments are shown.
This model enabled us to understand better the dynamics nature of computer
virus and the epidemiological models bring new hope for solving the computer
virus problems.
