A Model and Archetype Based Interoperability Framework for Near Real-Time Surveillance Systems
Content Type: Abstract
The pilot near real time surveillance system ASTER, which currently monitors the French Forces in Djibouti and French Guiana [1], has been especially designed for inter-allied interoperability. This paper briefly describes the rationale of this… read more -
A Model-Based Architecture for Supporting Situational Diagnosis in Real-Time Surveillance Systems
Content Type: Abstract
Real-time syndromic surveillance systems require adapted dataflow organization and tools for supporting data processing in real time, from their acquisition until the counter-measure building process. This work explores the capabilities of a… read more -
A Multijurisdictional Investigation of Resistant Highly Infectious TB in Asian Immigrants
Content Type: Abstract
Learn about a highly infectious resistant tuberculosis outbreak among recent immigrants & the multijurisdictional public health response. Recognize basics about tuberculosis & anticipate difficulties with immigrants and resistant strains.… read more -
A Multivariate Bayesian Scan Statistic
Content Type: Abstract
This paper develops a new method for multivariate spatial cluster detection, the ìmultivariate Bayesian scan statisticî (MBSS). MBSS combines information from multiple data streams in a Bayesian framework, enabling faster and more accurate… read more -
A National Scale Microsimulation of Disease Outbreaks
Content Type: Abstract
Our objective in this research is to take advantage of a supercomputer grid (TeraGrid) to develop a distributed memory national scale agent-based model (ABM) to study disease outbreaks at the micro level. This has data needs at both the national… read more -
A Nationwide Geo-Referenced Synthesized Agent Database for Infectious Disease Models
Content Type: Abstract
Our objective in this research is to develop a national, geospatially-explicit set of human agents for use in agent-based models. [The term 'agents', in agent-based modeling, refers to computerized entities that represent individuals who interact… read more -
A New Space-Time Scan Statistic for Timely Outbreak Detection Taking Overdispersion Into Account
Content Type: Abstract
To propose a new space-time scan statistic taking overdispersion into account for accurate and timely detection of disease outbreaks. -
A Nonparametric Scan Statistic for Multivariate Disease Surveillance
Content Type: Abstract
We present a new method for multivariate outbreak detection, the ìnonparametric scan statisticî (NPSS). NPSS enables fast and accurate detection of emerging space-time clusters using multiple disparate data streams, including nontraditional data… read more
