Abstract
Mathematical epidemiology has been developing for over a hundred years. Mathematical models developed for spreading of viruses in human populations take into account various effects influencing the epidemic. Recently results of mathematical epidemiology have also been applied to modeling of epidemic viruses in computer networks. The current work applies results of mathematical epidemiology to the research of dynamics of potential epidemics of worms in mobile networks. The work simulates epidemics of two types of mobile worms that we have already run into - MMS and Bluetooth worms.
