The objective of this paper is to introduce the concept of agent based modeling classification for SIR epidemic model, suggest a new discrete-time agent based SIR model and formally document Gillespie¡¯s Algorithm based SIR epidemic model. Furthermore a computational analysis of chemical master equation and Gillespie¡¯s algorithm based SIR models has been performed showing that the use of latter results in considerable reduction in execution time %U https://vfast.org/journals/index.php/VTSE/article/view/110
