This article addresses the critical challenge of modelling and simulating the spread of contagious diseases in a population. Drawing inspiration from global events like the COVID-19 pandemic, our proposed simulation aims to comprehensively understand the epidemic dynamics and thus enhances the public awareness for effective decision-making. The proposed simulation integrates the computational models and simulation techniques, including the logistic functions, agent-based models, SIR models, and network-based spread models. © 2024 FRUCT.Agent-Based ModelingComputational ModelingCOVID-19epidemic modellingEpidemic SimulationIntervention StrategiesPublic AwarenessSIR ModelVisualization ToolLeveraging SIR and Barabási-Albert Models for Epidemic Modelling
