Addressing the issues challenging the sensor community, this book presents innovative solutions in offline data mining and real-time analysis of sensor or geographically distributed data. Illustrated with case studies, it discusses the challenges and requirements for sensor data-based knowledge discovery solutions in high-priority application. The book then explores the fusion between heterogeneous data streams from multiple sensor types and applications in science, engineering, and security. Bringing together researchers from academia, government, and the private sector, this book delineates the application of knowledge modeling in data intensive operations.

This book contains articles documenting the progress made in mapping of the genome of Vibrio cholerae and the prospects of developing highly effective and specific vaccines. It indicates the direction of such advanced research and is a valuable resource for anyone doing further research in this field. The articles discuss the public health implications of high case fatality in acute childhood diarrhea and its consequence on their nutritional status; a simple treatment algorithm for persistent diarrhea, immune response; new perspectives in toxin-induced diarrhea; and the evolution of rotavirus and the different strategies employed in the development of vaccines against them.
