Table 3. Social interaction layers information.

The first column (Layer) shows the layers (total of 7) implemented on the system, and sub-layers (schools, work and religion), that further describe some of the activities (second column). The third column (Agents age) represents the age range distribution for each layer/sub-layer. The fourth column represents the probability of agents belonging to the layer. In some sub-layers (schools and work), the sum of this probability is 100%, which means that all agents within an age range must belong to only one of these sub-layers. The fifth column (Time per week) is the average time the agents spend interacting with other agents on this layer/sub-layer. The sixth column (Nearest) shows the agent’s average number of contacts per layer/sub-layer. The last column (Group size) represents the average group size and the agent’s distribution; per layer/sub-layer.
