Abstract
The paper focuses its attention on a software project that takes advantage of pioneering sociological theories, graph & network theory, and the state-of-the-art in software technologies. Its very purpose, of particularly high importance nowadays, is to counter infectious diseases. The paper refers to research of Complex Networks displaying the, so called, Scale Free and Small World features, which make them accurate models of Social Networks.
