That makes Atlanta a prime suspect.  Using a computer model Georgia Tech researchers developed, the state could then predict where and how quickly the virus might spread.  Julie Swann is a Georgia Tech professor who helped develop the model. She says it aids state officials in making policy decisions based on different scenarios.  \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.publicbroadcasting.net\/wabe\/news.newsmain?action=article\u0026amp;ARTICLE_ID=1499258\u0026amp;sectionID=1\u0022\u003ERead more\u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"27279","created_gmt":"2009-04-28 00:00:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:06:25","author":"Barbara Christopher","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2009-04-28T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2009-04-28T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"57458","name":"ISyE External News"}],"categories":[{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"}],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cstrong\u003EBarbara Christopher\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIndustrial and Systems Engineering\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/contact\/index.html?id=bt3\u0022\u003EContact Barbara Christopher\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E404.385.3102\u003C\/strong\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["bchristopher@isye.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
