9:00 a.m.- 'Leveraging Open Components: Distributed Collaborative Tools for Public Health Surveillance, David Forslund'', Los Alamos National Laboratory The challenge of medical surveillance is a system sensitive enough to detect a disease outbreak very early with enough accuracy and specificity to enable a proper response to thethreat. David will present the pilot deployment of a component-based system in Albuquerque, NM, as part of the National Biodefense Initiative (BDI). The modular, open source architecture of the system facilitates integration of diverse data sources and organizes them both for detection of single events and deviations from seasonal averages. It is built around the open standards of the Object Management Group, so that any system implementing those standards could be connected up easily,but this is not a requirement for data collection.

DAISY is built upon SMIL, the synchronized multimedia standardfrom W3C, and with that foundation, DAISY is primed to move beyond just the current text and audio book model. This presentation will examine the potential of applying DAISY to richmultimedia content. Examples will be drawn from accessible cinema and emergency preparedness information. Demonstration will include structured navigation of Medicare information by telephone using the DAISY/ANSI standard. (41LY)
