helios 
In ancient Greek religion and mythology, Helios is the god who personifies the Sun.
helios is a stochastic individual-based infectious disease
transmission model that simulates the effect of far ultra-violet light
emitters as a method for curtailing disease transmission. helios is
built using the individual
package developed at the MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease
Analysis.
