A series of four meetings were held between 03-Aug-08 to 05-Aug-08 at the Indian Institute of Technology – Madras campus on defining the project design and goals in relation to the real-time biosurveillance program pilot. The program brought together partners from North America (University of Alberta and Carnegie Mellon University) who joined the meeting through skype; while the Indian and Sri Lankan partners met, face-to-face, at IIT-M’s Rural Technology and Business Incubator. The meeting coined this operations research initiative to be a “unique project”.
