As part of the annual Joint International Tropical Medicine Meeting (www.jitmm.com) to be held in Bangkok from 7-9 December 2022, we will be running a pre-conference workshop on Advanced Information Technology for Mosquito Vector Monitoring and Control (https://jitmm.com/Home/displayContent?cpID=26).  The hybrid-mode 1-day workshop will take place on Dec 6.  The objective of this workshop is to explore opportunities provided by recent advances in information technology to address challenges in vector monitoring and control.  It is designed to be highly interdisciplinary, including computer scientists, epidemiologists, entomologists, and disease modelers.  Topics include:

• Mosquito vector sensor design, including but not limited to acoustic, opto-acoustic, and image-based approaches
• Mosquito vector population estimation techniques based on related data, including satellite imaging, street-view images, and environmental data
• Data collection for machine learning approaches
• Sensing strategies – what exactly should we be measuring?
• Networking, data transmission, and power issues
• Lessons from traditional approaches that can inform sensor design
• Transmission and presentation of vector count data and integration with other relevant data
• Other relevant topics

The workshop will include talks, panel sessions, and ample time for discussion.  It will be run in a hybrid mode to facilitate participation from abroad. 

We would like to warmly invite you to participate in the workshop.  We believe you would be a great addition to the workshop, particularly given your recent work in the area.  Workshop registration is available at:  https://jitmm.com/Home/displayContent?cpID=26.

We look forward to seeing you at the workshop.
