This paper addresses how the benefits of cloud-based infrastructure can be harnessed for analytical workloads. Often the software handling analytical workloads is not developed by a professional programmer, but on an ad hoc basis by…

This review presents how R, the popular statistical environment and programming language, can be used in the frame of proteomics data analysis. A short introduction to R is given, with special emphasis on some of the features that make R…

Cloud computing provides a great opportunity for scientists, as it enables large-scale experiments that cannot are too long to run on local desktop machines. Cloud-based computations can be highly parallel, long running and data-intensive,…

This paper reviews strategies for solving problems encountered when analyzing large genomic data sets and describes the implementation of those strategies in R by packages from the Bioconductor project. We treat the scalable processing,…

Reliability, security and stability of cloud services without sacrificing too much resources have become a desired feature in the area of workload management in clouds. The paper proposes and evaluates a lightweight framework for scheduling…

Summary: R and Matlab are two high-level scientific programming languages which are frequently applied in computational biology. To extend the wide variety of available and approved implementations, we present the Rcall interface which runs…

Advances in genome sequencing technologies generate massive amounts of sequence data that are increasingly analyzed and shared through public repositories. On-demand infrastructure services on cloud computing platforms enable the processing…

Developing complex biomolecular workflows is not always straightforward. It requires tedious developments to enable the interoperability between the different biomolecular simulation and analysis tools. Moreover, the need to execute the…

Advances in sequencing techniques have led to exponential growth in biological data, demanding the development of large-scale bioinformatics experiments. Because these experiments are computation- and data-intensive, they require…

Cloud computing has become a major approach to help reproduce computational experiments. Yet there are still two main difficulties in reproducing batch based big data analytics (including descriptive and predictive analytics) in the cloud.…

The rise of the programmable web offers new opportunities for the empirically driven social sciences. The access, compilation and preparation of data from the programmable web for statistical analysis can, however, involve substantial…

Automating biological experimentation remains challenging due to the need for millimeter-scale precision, long and multi-step experiments, and the dynamic nature of living systems. Current liquid handlers only partially automate workflows,…

The emergence of R, a freely available data analysis environment, brought to the researcher in any science field a set of well-concerted instruments of immense power and low cost. In botany and zoology, these instruments could be used, for…

Delivering effective data analytics is of crucial importance to the interpretation of the multitude of biological datasets currently generated by an ever increasing number of high throughput techniques. Logic programming has much to offer…
