Background: The Smith-Waterman algorithm for local sequence alignment is more sensitive than heuristic methods for database searching, but also more time-consuming. The fastest ap...
In this paper, an effective content-based visual image retrieval system is presented. This system consists of two main components: visual content extraction and indexing, and quer...
Parallel sequence-search tools are rising in popularity among computational biologists. With the rapid growth of sequence databases, database segmentation is the trend of the futu...
Motion planning for mobile agents, such as robots, acting in the physical world is a challenging task, which traditionally concerns safe obstacle avoidance. We are interested in p...
Background: Structural similarities among proteins can provide valuable insight into their functional mechanisms and relationships. As the number of available three-dimensional (3...
