PROBLEM A:?Eradicating Ebola问题一:根除埃博拉 The world medical association has announced that their new medication could stop Ebola and cure patients whose disease is not advanced. Build a realistic, sensible, and useful model that considers not only the spread of the disease, the quantity of the medicine needed, possible feasible delivery systems, locations of delivery, speed of manufacturing of the vaccine or drug, but also any other critical factors your team considers necessary as part of the model to optimize the eradication of Ebola, or at least its current strain. In addition to your modeling approach for the contest, prepare a 1-2 page non-technical letter for the world medical association to use in their announcement. 世界医学学会已经宣布他们发现了新的药物可以阻止埃博拉病毒并能治愈病情再恶化的病人。创建建立一个现实的、明智的和有用的模型，该模型仅考虑了疾病的蔓延、需药物的量、可能可行的输送系统、交货地点、疫苗或药物的生产速度，也要包括你的团队认为必要的其他关键因素，该因素应作为优化根除埃博拉病毒模型的一部分，或者至少作为目前的应变的手段。除了提交本次比赛建立模型的方法外，还要提交一个1-2页的非技术性的信，作为世界医学协会在其公告使用的。 PROBLEM B:?Searching for a lost plane问题2:寻找失去的飞机 Recall the lost Malaysian flight MH370. Build a generic mathematical model that could assist searchers in planning a useful search for a lost plane feared to have crashed in open water such as the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Southern, or Arctic Ocean while flying from Point A to Point B. Assume that there are no signals from the downed plane. Your model should recognize that there are many different types of planes for which we might be searching and that there are many different types of search planes, often using different electronics or sensors. Additionally, prepare a 1-2 page non-technical paper for the airlines to use in their press conferences concerning their plan for future searches. 回忆失踪的马来西亚MH370飞机。建立一个通用的数学模型，协助“搜寻者”规划的一个有用的搜寻方案，寻找一架从A点飞到B点失踪的飞机，飞机可能坠毁在开放水域如大西洋、太平洋、印度、南或北冰洋。假设有从坠落的飞机上没有收到任何信号。你的模型应该确认我们可能搜索到的飞机有许多同类型的，也有许多同类型的搜索用飞机。这些飞机经常使用同的电子设备或传感器。另外，准备一个1-2页的非技术的计划，作为航空公司在他们的新闻发布会使用的、关于他们未来搜索的计划。 ICM PROBLEMS ICM的问题 PROBLEM C:?Managing Human Capital in Organizations Click the
