These efforts include well-integrated user interface systems and advanced algorithmic concepts to facilitate analysis of diverse, pertinent data sources including traditional bio-surveillance data sources as well as social media inputs. A central challenge in this development effort is a practical, effective, method to test these prototype systems. This presentation discusses a simulation-based testbed to allow quantitative evaluation of analytical methods through controlled injection of simulated outbreak-related information into test data streams.}, number={1}, journal={Online Journal of Public Health Informatics}, author={Larocque, Gerald and Locke, Taylor and Lee, Micah and Kite-Powell, Aaron}, year={2014}, month={Mar.} }
