An agent-based model designed to study the propagation of Anthrax through the human body
I ported it from SWARM to MASON. Jayshree Sarma (jsarma at gmu edu) has further developed it since.
Description included in this paper presenting MASON (see Section 5.4 and Acknowledgements for credits).

Maximize the damage produced in a given environment by releasing hazardous materials. The damage depends largely on the release position.
Use Evolutionary Computation to find the release position that maximizes damage.
