Abstract
SINCO is a research effort to develop a software environment that contributes to the prevention and control of infectious diseases. This paper describes the system architecture already implemented where four important elements interact: (a) expert system (b) geographical information system (c) simulation component, and (d) training component. This architecture is itself a scalable, interoperable and modular approach. The system is being currently used in several health establishments as part of its validation process.
