The exponential growth of databases that contains biological information (such as protein and DNA data) demands great efforts to improve the performance of computational platforms...
The resolution of combinatorial assortments of protein sequences into domains is a prerequisite for protein sequence interpretation. However the recognition and clustering of homo...
DNA sequence alignment is a very important problem in bioinformatics. The algorithm proposed by Smith-Waterman (SW) is an exact method that obtains optimal local alignments in qua...

GridVine is a Peer Data Management System based on a decentralized access structure. Built following the principle of data independence, it separates a logical layer – where dat...
This paper reports our first set of results on managing uncertainty in data integration. We posit that data-integration systems need to handle uncertainty at three levels, and do...
