ULS Scan Cylindrical Scan Example: Human-environment indicator values for 16 European countries. There are a total of 3,764,448 admissible linear extensions. The cumulative rank function for Sweden exceeds that of all remaining countries. The crf’s of all countries dominate that of Ireland. The remaining countries cannot be uniquely ordered based on their crf’s. Belgium, Netherlands and United Kingdom have identical crf’s. Admissible linear extensions are comprised of rankings compatible with the rankings of all indicators. Treating each linear extension as a voter, the cumulative rank function is obtained from the frequencies at which each object receives each rank. Disease Rates Comparison of ULS Scan with Cylindrical Scan Year Haase Diagram The crf’s also form a partially ordered set. There are only 182 admissible linear extensions for this poset, yielding the cumulative rank function: One more iteration yields the rankings in the data table.

23 We also present a prioritization innovation. It lies in the ability for prioritization and ranking of hotspots based on multiple indicator and stakeholder criteria without having to integrate indicators into an index, using Hasse diagrams and partial order sets. This leads us to early warning systems, and also to the selection of investigational areas. Prioritization Innovation Partial Order Set Ranking

25 Hasse Diagram (Western Europe)

26 Figure 17. Hasse diagram of Poset B (left) and a decision tree enumerating all possible linear extensions of the poset (right). Every downward path through the decision tree determines a linear extension. Dashed links in the decision tree are not implied by the partial order and are called jumps. If one tried to trace the linear extension in the original Hasse diagram, a “jump” would be required at each dashed link. Note that there is a pure-jump linear extension (path a, b, c, d, e, f) in which every link is a jump.

61 Digital Governance and Hotspot GeoInformatics for Monitoring, Etiology, Early Warning, and Management Around the World

62 The five year NSF DGP project has been instrumental to conceptualize hotspot geoinformatics partnership among several interested cross-disciplinary scientists in academia, agencies, and private sector around the world. A declared need is around for statistical geoinformatics and software infrastructure for spatial and spatiotemporal hotspot detection and prioritization. Our efforts are driven by a wide variety of case studies of potential interest to government agencies involving critical society issues, such as public health, ecosystem health, sensor networks, robotic networks, social networks, video mining, homeland security, early warning, and disaster management.
