The paper [
1. The event of disease spread has been extremely simplified. As you know, the outbreak of a disease is affected by lots of factors.
2. The Introduction lacks enough references to previous research.
3. The model has not been validated and verified, which are the most important tasks in proving the correct performance of the model developed.
4. The movement of all agents has been considered randomly, while in reality, it does not happen in this way.
5. The materials and methods lack information about the way the model was developed. All necessary information about the model needs to be made known—attributes and behaviors of the agents, interactions between the agents, etc.
6. As you know, one of the advantages of the agent-based model approach is its consideration of the geography of the environment and simulation of the exact locations of people and places. The diversity of the population affects the spread of the disease as well as interactions. If the population density remains constant, but people do not have interactions with each other, the disease does not spread.
