Abstract

  Implanting malware into servers or endpoints in a network has become a huge possibility in institutions that use the World Wide Web to accomplish tasks. Thanks to the penetration of connectivity due to the Internet and mobile devices into personal life, work, and entertainment, as well as the increasing number of smartphones and diverse IT applications. So is the application of both machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models to a variety of programs used in big data analytics and data mining. On the other hand, the agent-based model (ABM) is a computer model for simulating the activities and interactions of autonomous agents. However, we enumerated some challenges of traditional models that gave rise to the use of ABM. With the observation that both ABM and ML/DL have yet to be applied to epidemics in communication networks, we reviewed the literature surrounding the aforementioned subjects. This is to provide the appropriate background for malware spread forecasts and the development of transitional methods from ABM to DL networks during representations of epidemic theory.
