چکیده

Search Computing has been proposed to support the integration of the results of search engines with other data and computational resources. A key feature of the resulting integration platform is direct support for multi-domain ordered data, reflecting the fact that search engines produce ranked outputs, which should be taken into account when the results of several requests are combined. In the life sciences, there are many different types of ranked data. For example, ranked data may represent many different phenomena, including physical ordering within a genome, algorithmically assigned scores that represent levels of sequence similarity, and experimentally measured values such as expression levels. This chapter explores the extent to which the search computing functionalities designed for use with search engine results may be applicable for different forms of ranked data that are encountered when carrying out data integration in the life sciences. This is done by classifying different types of ranked data in the life sciences, providing examples of different types of ranking and ranking integration needs in the life sciences, identifying issues in the integration of such ranked data, and discussing techniques for drawing conclusions from diverse rankings.

SESOS: A Verifiable Searchable Outsourcing Scheme for Ordered Structured Data in Cloud Computing

While cloud computing is growing at a remarkable speed, privacy issues are far from being solved. One way to diminish privacy concerns is to store data on the cloud in encrypted form. However, encryption often hinders useful computation cloud services. A theoretical approach is to employ the so-called fully homomorphic encryption, yet the overhead is so high that it is not considered a viable s...
