Agent Technology in Industrial Applications

The agent metaphor has become increasingly popular in distributed computing systems. As often with a new paradigm, it is not very clear what the exact meaning is. The meaning and the development of the agent paradigm is therefore discussed in this paper. One motivation for using agents in distributed systems is that, due to the rapid technical development of computing and communication faciliti...

Streaming Computational Science: Applications, Technology and Resource Management for HPC

Data streaming from on-line instruments, large scale simulations, and distributed sensors such as those found in transportation systems and urban environments point to the growing interest and important role of streaming data and related realtime steering and control. We define a stream to be a possibly unbounded sequence of events. Successive events may or may not be correlated and each event ...

Next generation sequencing: chemistry, technology and applications.

High-throughput next generation sequencing (NGS) has been quickly adapted into many aspects of biomedical research and begun to engage with the clinical practice. The latter aspect will enable the application of genomic knowledge into clinical practice in this and next decades and will profoundly change the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of many human diseases. It will further demand both p...

Technology Review Special FocuS: compuTaTional chemiSTRy

There is immense pressure on all developers of new drugs today to efficiently and costeffectively produce compounds with efficacies better than existing therapies and with very limited adverse effects. This requires the simultaneous optimization of both the desired bioactivity and the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity (ADMET) properties of a drug candidate. Of the ADM...
