Nuwan Waidyanatha will conduct a colloquium on the topic of ‘My spring break in Kunming: Classification of Early Warning Systems on the 29th of July 2008.
The Colloquium will focus on the question that came up during one of the LIRNEasia brain storming sessions which was “what can and what can’t the Last-Mile Hazard Warning System do?”; i.e. what are its capabilities and capacities? The answer was “lets classify the LM-HWS”
“During the 3 months I had between submitting the ‘biosurveillance’ proposal and being awarded the research grant, I spent time taking a stab at the open problem of /classifying early warning systems/. The theoretical framework looks at applying system theory, complexity theory, and queuing theory as a basis to derive the classifiers. The belief is that it would be a major contribution to supply a mathematically well defined framework for future academics and practitioners to use as a basis for designing and assessing early warning systems. The aim of this colloquium is to present preliminary work to get a consensus on my approach”
– Nuwan
The Colloquium will be conducted at the usual time of 4p.m (Sri Lanka/ India time). For those of you who will not be able to join us at our office in Balcombe Place there will be an online blogging session at www.lirneasia.net
