whereby species hypotheses are published as they are formulated and data as they are collected in web-based repositories and content-man-agement systems. If our recommendation is followed, many species will make their first appearance on the Internet as candidate new species before documentation

Aggregating users ’ individual preference and recommending a common set of items for a group has become a challenging topic in group recommender systems and social websites. This issue is mainly concerned with the following three objectives: eliciting individual users ' preferences, suggesting

We study a problem of graph-query reformulation enabling explo-rative query-driven discovery in graph databases. Given a query issued by the user, the system, apart from returning the result pat-terns, also proposes a number of specializations (i.e., supergraphs) of the original query to facilitate

species number and complex biotic connections have resulted in no other genus of terrestrial orchids possessing such a large number of rare and threatened taxa. Some of this rich body of new data is presented by a diverse range of laboratories and researchers in this special issue.

In particular, the growing heterogeneity of hardware architectures and diversity of operating system and communication platforms makes it hard to build correct, portable, efficient, and inexpensive applications from scratch.

Abstract: Online learning initia-tives over the past decade have become increasingly comprehen-sive in their selection of courses and sophisticated in their presen-tation, culminating in the recent announcement of a number of consortium and startup activities that promise to make a university education on the internet, free of charge, a real possibility. At this pivotal moment it is appropriate to explore the potential for obtaining comprehensive bioinformatics training with currently existing free video resources. This article pre-sents such a bioinformatics curric-ulum in the form of a virtual course catalog, together with editorial commentary, and an assessment of strengths, weaknesses, and likely future directions for open online learning in this field. Online Learning Comes of Age Online academic ‘‘courseware’ ’ at the university level has now been available to the public for a decade, the earliest concerted effort having originated in 2002 with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and their OpenCour-seWare initiative

Summary: This paper presents the model of Intelligence Information System (IIS) based on a Service-Oriented Architecture. In this paper we propose the new service’s model, based on the Intelligence cycle and other systems which are necessary for gathering intelligence information and data

networks. The purpose of this special issue is to discuss the state of arts of the latest techniques and methods for discovering diverse regulatory networks with respect to metabolism, PPI (protein-protein interaction), gene expression, and signaling pathways.
