Evaluation of IoT-Based Computational Intelligence Tools for DNA Sequence Analysis in Bioinformatics
In contemporary age, Computational Intelligence (CI) performs an essential
role in the interpretation of big biological data considering that it could
provide all of the molecular biology and DNA sequencing computations. For this
purpose, many researchers have attempted to implement different tools in this
field and have competed aggressively. Hence, determining the best of them among
the enormous number of available tools is not an easy task, selecting the one
which accomplishes big data in the concise time and with no error can
significantly improve the scientist's contribution in the bioinformatics field.
This study uses different analysis and methods such as Fuzzy, Dempster-Shafer,
Murphy and Entropy Shannon to provide the most significant and reliable
evaluation of IoT-based computational intelligence tools for DNA sequence
analysis. The outcomes of this study can be advantageous to the bioinformatics
community, researchers and experts in big biological data
Precision Medicine Informatics: Principles, Prospects, and Challenges
Precision Medicine (PM) is an emerging approach that appears with the
impression of changing the existing paradigm of medical practice. Recent
advances in technological innovations and genetics, and the growing
availability of health data have set a new pace of the research and imposes a
set of new requirements on different stakeholders. To date, some studies are
available that discuss about different aspects of PM. Nevertheless, a holistic
representation of those aspects deemed to confer the technological perspective,
in relation to applications and challenges, is mostly ignored. In this context,
this paper surveys advances in PM from informatics viewpoint and reviews the
enabling tools and techniques in a categorized manner. In addition, the study
discusses how other technological paradigms including big data, artificial
intelligence, and internet of things can be exploited to advance the potentials
of PM. Furthermore, the paper provides some guidelines for future research for
seamless implementation and wide-scale deployment of PM based on identified
open issues and associated challenges. To this end, the paper proposes an
integrated holistic framework for PM motivating informatics researchers to
design their relevant research works in an appropriate context.Comment: 22 pages, 8 figures, 5 tables, journal pape
Challenges of Internet of Things and Big Data Integration
The Internet of Things anticipates the conjunction of physical gadgets to the
In-ternet and their access to wireless sensor data which makes it expedient to
restrain the physical world. Big Data convergence has put multifarious new
opportunities ahead of business ventures to get into a new market or enhance
their operations in the current market. considering the existing techniques and
technologies, it is probably safe to say that the best solution is to use big
data tools to provide an analytical solution to the Internet of Things. Based
on the current technology deployment and adoption trends, it is envisioned that
the Internet of Things is the technology of the future, while to-day's
real-world devices can provide real and valuable analytics, and people in the
real world use many IoT devices. Despite all the advertisements that companies
offer in connection with the Internet of Things, you as a liable consumer, have
the right to be suspicious about IoT advertise-ments. The primary question is:
What is the promise of the Internet of things con-cerning reality and what are
the prospects for the future.Comment: Proceedings of the International Conference on International

NGS data analysis: a review of major tools and pipeline frameworks for variant discovery
[EN]The analysis of genetic data has always been a problem due to the large amount of information available and the difficulty in isolating that which is relevant. However, over the years progress in sequencing techniques has been accompanied by a development of computer techniques to the current application of artificial intelligence. We can summarize the phases of sequence analysis in the following: quality assessment, alignment, pre-variant processing, variant calling and variant annotation. In this article we will review and comment on the tools used in each phase of genetic sequencing, and analyze the drawbacks and advantages offered by each of them
Why High-Performance Modelling and Simulation for Big Data Applications Matters
Modelling and Simulation (M&S) offer adequate abstractions to manage the complexity of analysing big data in scientific and engineering domains. Unfortunately, big data problems are often not easily amenable to efficient and effective use of High Performance Computing (HPC) facilities and technologies. Furthermore, M&S communities typically lack the detailed expertise required to exploit the full potential of HPC solutions while HPC specialists may not be fully aware of specific modelling and simulation requirements and applications. The COST Action IC1406 High-Performance Modelling and Simulation for Big Data Applications has created a strategic framework to foster interaction between M&S experts from various application domains on the one hand and HPC experts on the other hand to develop effective solutions for big data applications. One of the tangible outcomes of the COST Action is a collection of case studies from various computing domains. Each case study brought together both HPC and M&S experts, giving witness of the effective cross-pollination facilitated by the COST Action. In this introductory article we argue why joining forces between M&S and HPC communities is both timely in the big data era and crucial for success in many application domains. Moreover, we provide an overview on the state of the art in the various research areas concerned
Unveiling the frontiers of deep learning: innovations shaping diverse domains
Deep learning (DL) enables the development of computer models that are
capable of learning, visualizing, optimizing, refining, and predicting data. In
recent years, DL has been applied in a range of fields, including audio-visual
data processing, agriculture, transportation prediction, natural language,
biomedicine, disaster management, bioinformatics, drug design, genomics, face
recognition, and ecology. To explore the current state of deep learning, it is
necessary to investigate the latest developments and applications of deep
learning in these disciplines. However, the literature is lacking in exploring
the applications of deep learning in all potential sectors. This paper thus
extensively investigates the potential applications of deep learning across all
major fields of study as well as the associated benefits and challenges. As
evidenced in the literature, DL exhibits accuracy in prediction and analysis,
makes it a powerful computational tool, and has the ability to articulate
itself and optimize, making it effective in processing data with no prior
training. Given its independence from training data, deep learning necessitates
massive amounts of data for effective analysis and processing, much like data
volume. To handle the challenge of compiling huge amounts of medical,
scientific, healthcare, and environmental data for use in deep learning, gated
architectures like LSTMs and GRUs can be utilized. For multimodal learning,
shared neurons in the neural network for all activities and specialized neurons
for particular tasks are necessary.Comment: 64 pages, 3 figures, 3 table
