Software to facilitate remote sensing data access for disease early warning systems

Early Warning Chemical Sensing

The nation faces a growing concern that terrorists or state actors will resort to the use of chemical or biological warfare agents against military or civilian targets. The primary defensive action available for this threat is to detect the deadly agents before they contact their intended victims. Given advance warning, people can evacuate a contaminated area, administer prophylactic medication...

Development of Malaria Early Warning System (MEWS) using Remote Sensing and Geographical Information Systems

Improved prediction, prevention, and control of epidemics are key technical goals of the Roll Back Malaria (RBM) partnership. The International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) is a Pan-America and World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) Collaborating Centre on early warning systems for malaria and other climate sensitive diseases. To improve epidemic control in climate-sensitive r...

Remote Access to Mathematical Software

The network-oriented application services paradigm is becoming increasingly common for scientific computing. The popularity of this approach can be attributed to the numerous advantages to both user and developer provided by networkenabled mathematical software. The burden of installing and maintaining complex systems is lifted from the user, while enabling developers to provide frequent update...
