This unit describes how to use the genome annotation and curation tools MAKER and MAKER-P to annotate protein-coding and noncoding RNA genes in newly assembled genomes, update/combine legacy annotations in light of new evidence, add quality metrics to annotations from other pipelines, and map existing annotations to a new assembly. MAKER and MAKER-P can rapidly annotate genomes of any size, and...

Eliciting preferences of a decision maker is a key factor to successfully combine search and decision making in an interactive method. Therefore, the progressively integration and simulation of the decision maker is a main concern in an application. We contribute in this direction by proposing an interactive method based on a reference point-based guided local search to the bi-objective Invento...

Laboratory seakeeping test under irregular wave load is essential for studying seakeeping performances of marine and offshore structures. One of the key techniques in such a sort of test is how to assure the quality of wave load. By assuring the quality of wave load, we mean that man-made irregular wave series exerting on a test model should have a given power spectrum. From a view of optimal c...

The World Wide Web (WWW) can be viewed as the largest multime-dia database that has ever existed. However, its support for query answering and automated inference is very limited. Metadata and domain speciic ontologies were proposed by several authors to solve this problem. We developed Ontobroker which uses formal ontologies to extract, reason, and generate metadata in the WWW. The paper descr...

This paper suggests extending scores of technical efficiency as used in, for example, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to efficiency scores defined as so-called fuzzy intervals. Fuzzy scores allow the decision maker to use scores of technical efficiency in combination with other sources of available performance information e.g. expert opinions, key figures etc. In this sense, results of, DEA wil...
