    Document: Spatial distribution of populations and human mobility among connected locations are the pivotal elements mediating the transmission of pandemic diseases. To introduce spatially distributed factors into modeling substrates, it is intuitive to generalize the network model by defining each node as a subpopulation that has a specific location, in which a population of individuals interplays according to the compartment rule. People are also permitted to transfer among subpopulations through mobility networks. This individualnetwork frame organizes the entire system into networked populations, leading to an important class of model in modern epidemiology, namely, the networked metapopulation. Figure 2 illustrates the basic modeling structure.
