Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has made virus transmission a significant factor in designing buildings to ensure a safe and resilient environment. Simulation has been applied to analyze the potential risk of virus transmission within built spaces. Still, most existing simulations focused on a small region of the building, over a short period of time. Here we cover how we leveraged an occupancy simulation to inform and visualize the longitudinal impacts of virus transmission, in relation to a given building design and associated dynamic occupant behaviours. The flexibility of our system makes our simulation scalable and adaptable so that it can be applied to any building or context, with various types of occupants.

Building Occupancy Simulation and Analysis under Virus Scenarios
During the COVID-19 pandemic, regulations on building usage and occupancy density were brought to the forefront, as research indicated that transmission was most likely to occur in indoor environments. Public health officials and building managers had to ...
Mixed-mode simulation for IEEE 802.11-operated WLANs
In this paper, we address the issue of integrating packet-level simulation with fluid-model-based simulation for IEEE 802.11-operated wireless LANs (WLANs), so as to combine the performance gain of the latter with the accuracy and packet-level detail ...
