(my)Grid supports in silico experiments in the life sciences, enabling the design and enactment of workflows as well as providing components to assist service discovery, data and metadata management. The (my)Grid ontology is one component in a larger semantic discovery framework for the identification of the highly distributed and heterogeneous bioinformatics services in the public domain. From...

The research work described in this thesis focuses on developing a semantic component in conventional Grid architecture to support ontology based representation of Grid resource metadata and to facilitate context based information retrieval that complements Grid schedulers for effective resource management. The previous chapter focussed on semantic representation and discovery of Grid services ...

The discovery of suitable Web services for a given task is one of the central operations in Service-oriented Architectures (SOA), and research on Semantic Web services (SWS) aims at automating this step. For the large amount of available Web services that can be expected in real-world settings, the computational costs of automated discovery based on semantic matchmaking become important. To mak...

For hundreds of years, the drug discovery and development industry has aimed at identifying single components with a clear mechanism action as desirable candidates for potential drugs. However, this conventional strategy faced challenges including low success rate high costs. Herein, we critically review state-of-the-art based on multi-component Chinese medicine formulas. We policies applicatio...

basically, medical diagnosis problems are the most effective component of treatment policies. recently, significant advances have been formed in medical diagnosis fields using data mining techniques. data mining or knowledge discovery is searching large databases to discover patterns and evaluate the probability of next occurrences. in this paper, bayesian classifier is used as a non-linear dat...

this manuscript is a review of a number of ethnobotany and ethnopharmacology texts and papers in order to arrive at current understanding and scope of ethnobotany and ethnopharmacology. it includes either a brief definition of both fields and presenting some examples on them. also it has a glimpse on the geographical coverage of research works throughout the world, important issue of property r...
