) the creation of mathematical models, environmental models, mobility
models, population risk models, and dynamic simulation tools to explore
the spatiotemporal spread patterns and optimal control measures for a
variety of communicable diseases; 2) the dynamical modeling, analysis
and simulation, visualization and evaluation of the vulnerability and
responses of different communities to the potential outbreak of emerging
or reemerging communicable diseases and the effectiveness of
corresponding human intervention measures; 3) the development of
geosimulation and decision support systems for public health officers that
integrate the aforementioned models, data and information, and enable
what-if analyses through the specification of various kinds of scenarios
such as climate/environmental change, host mobility and intervention
plans.
