I simulate a SIR Epidemic process (Susceptible-Infected-Recovered) on the Gnutella p2p network dataset downloaded from SNAP[1][2] and try different targeted vaccination techniques to see its effectiveness. This work was done as part of the course of Digital Epidemiology 2017-2018 from the Master's degree in Data Science at La Sapienza - Università di Roma.
