COVID-19 Transmission Risks Assessment using Agent-Based Weighted Clustering Approach

Coronavirus is a pandemic disease spreading from human-to-human rapidly all over the world. This virus is origin from common cold to severe disease such as MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV. Initially it was identified in China, December 2019. The main aim of this research is used to identify the COVID-19 transmission risks assessment from human-to-human within a cluster. The agent-based weighted clustering approach is used to identify the corona virus infected people rapidly within a cluster. In the weighted clustered approach, the normal agents are consisted as susceptible node and the corona virus infected people are considered as malicious node. The Cluster Head (CH) is elected based upon some weighting factors and the trust value is evaluated for all the agents within the cluster. The cluster head were periodically transfers the malicious node information to all other nodes within the cluster. Finally, the agent-based weighted clustering machine learning model approach is used to identify the number of corona virus infected people within the cluster.
