Chapter 1: Survey of Early Warning Systems for Environmental and Public Health Applications (211k)

This timely book identifies and highlights the latest data mining paradigms to analyze, combine, integrate, model and simulate vast amounts of heterogeneous multi-modal, multi-scale data for emerging real-world applications in life science.

The cutting-edge topics presented include bio-surveillance, disease outbreak detection, high throughput bioimaging, drug screening, predictive toxicology, biosensors, and the integration of macro-scale bio-surveillance and environmental data with micro-scale biological data for personalized medicine. This collection of works from leading researchers in the field offers readers an exceptional start in these areas.
