What is special about “G” in CyberGIS? • Location • Place • Space • Spatiotemporal • Integration • Synthesis
CyberGIS FluMapper • Purpose: Early and fine- spatiotemporal-scale detection of flu outbreak • Hypothesis: Is such detection feasible based on social media data?
Questions – Scientific Problem Solving • How to detect, represent, and communicate spatiotemporal patterns of flu risk? • How to reveal spatial diffusion trajectories across various spatiotemporal scales?

FluMapper Components • Data collection and processing • Collects, processes and stores streaming data from Twitter in near real time • Scalable services to query raw and derived data • Spatiotemporal data model • Provides aggregated data and statistics at multiple scales for efficient information retrieval • At the finest scale, the conterminous United States is represented as a field of 30-arc second resolution • Exploratory data analysis • Kernel density estimation (KDE) • Monte-Carlo simulations • Flow mapping • Single-source flow mapping is applied to depict movement patterns
Spatiotemporal Data Cube (May 23 ~ June 5, 2013)
Questions – CyberGIS • How to model and analyze big data that are not collected for the purpose of intended spatiotemporal analysis? • How to integrate hybrid spatiotemporal analyses? • How to replicate and validate such analyses? • What are the key CyberGIS characteristics? • What are the basic building blocks of CyberGIS?
