Part of the book series: Communications in Computer and Information Science ((CCIS,volume 443))

Abstract

Dengue fever is the world’s fastest growing vector-borne disease. Studying such data aims at better understanding the behaviour of this disease to prevent the dengue propagation. For instance, it may be the case that the number of cases of dengue fever in cities depends on many factors, such as climate conditions, density, sanitary conditions. Experts are interested in using geographical information systems in order to visualize knowledge on maps. For this purpose, we propose to build maps based on gradual patterns. Such maps provide a solution for visualizing for instance the cities that follow or not gradual patterns.
