G-SESAME: Gene SEmantic Similarity Analysis and MEasurement tools
Since many biological data analysis methods require numeric representation of the functional similarity of genes, automatically discovering the descriptive similarities of genes and converting them into measurable numeric values are very important for such analyses. This research project will solve this important problem by designing novel algorithms to measure the semantic similarity of vocabularies used to annotate genes and, in turn, devising effective algorithms to determine the functional similarity of genes.
- P2P Semantic web infrastructure and
Ontology comparison.
In this project, we design an P2P infrastructure for Semantic
Web Services to automatically discover the web services based on ontology
comparison. An Efficient Online Ontology Comparison
Tool has been implemented and used in our P2P Semantic Web Services.
- P2P Cooperative Proxy Caching System
The goal of this project is to build a self-configured,
self-managed P2P cooperative proxy caching system by giving proxies
artificial life.
- Virtual Storage System in
Corporation Network
In this project, we will explore the existing commodity storage
space in the corporation network and build a virtual file system on top of
existing heterogeneous file systems to provide large scale virtual storage
system that is robust, self-managed, automatically protected and fast
access.
- A P2P multimedia streaming solution
In this project, we will provide the multimedia streaming solution at three different
levels. In the client level, the buffer management schemes are evaluated
to provide a smooth streaming media display. At the proxy cache level, we
will use a fragmental caching approach to cache the media streams. In the
server level, we use a cluster of commodity PCs as the platform to handle
large scale multimedia streaming.
- Multimedia data mining
Mining the multimedia data is so interesting and we are currently working
on a project mining the virtual world using X3D/VRML and MPEG-4.
