Abstract

In response to the critical need of early detection of potential infectious disease outbreaks or bioterrorism events, public health syndromic surveillance systems have been rapidly developed and deployed in recent years. This paper surveys major research and system development issues related to syndromic surveillance systems and discusses recent advances in this important area of security informatics study.
