Background: Next generation ultra-sequencing technologies are starting to produce extensive quantities of data from entire human genome or exome sequences, and therefore new softw...
In data-intensive computing, an important problem that has received relatively little attention is of transparent processing of data stored in remote data repositories. Interesting...
Background: The proliferation of data repositories in bioinformatics has resulted in the development of numerous interfaces that allow scientists to browse, search and analyse the...

There is an increasing trends towards distributed and shared repositories for storing scientific datasets. Developing applications that retrieve and process data from such reposit...
We present and analyze portable access control mechanisms for large data repositories, in that the customized access policies are stored on a portable device (e.g., a smart card). ...
In this document, we describe a light-weighted ontology mediation method that allows users to send semantic queries to distant data repositories to browse for learning object meta...
Wide-area replication improves the availability and performance of globally distributed data repositories. Protocols needed for maintaining replication consistency may cause an un...
This study is concerned with the application of multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) approaches to the framework of collaborative fuzzy clustering. In particular, t...
