Spatiotemporal Epistematics Knowledge Synthesis Model - Graphic User Interface
SEKS-GUI framework is  based on sound theoretical reasoning, the interactive software library of SEKS-GUI explores heterogeneous (spatially non-homogeneous and temporally non-stationary) processes (e.g. epidemic propagation, human exposure, hydrologic processes, air pollution modeling, etc.); expresses spatiotemporal processes’ dependence structure using (ordinary and generalized) spatiotemporal covariance models; synthesizes core knowledge bases, empirical evidence and multi-sourced system uncertainty; and generates a meaningful picture of the real-world system using space-time dependent probability functions and associated maps.   The implementation stages of the SEKS-GUI library are described in considerable detail in the paper (Yu et al, 2007).  The wide applicability of SEKS-GUI is demonstrated by reviewing a selection of real-world case studies.  Among them, three datasets are made available for the users to download. Accordingly, these datasets were created for the studies: 1) Black Death Spatio-temporal Epidemic mapping (Christakos et al, 2005). 2) Arsenic health impact (Serre et al, 2003). 3) Spatiotemporal ozone mapping (Christakos et al, 2004).
