An experimental design to study decommitment in a collaborative multi-agent system in a scheduling domain (open access)

An experimental design to study decommitment in a collaborative multi-agent system in a scheduling domain

This article describes the theoretical background and experimental design of new research based on previous multi-agent research on collaborative agents. The research extends the concept of agent decommitment into a resource scheduling domain. The problem is no longer time constrained, however, the number of agents is increased dramatically. The actual experimentation is yet to be performed. The authors state that results of the experimentation will be reported in a future article.

GaussianCpG: a Gaussian model for detection of CpG island in human genome sequences (open access)

GaussianCpG: a Gaussian model for detection of CpG island in human genome sequences

The article discusses crucial markers in identifying biological elements and processes in mammalian genomes, CpG islands (CGI) that play important roles in DNA methylation, gene regulation, epigenetic inheritance, gene mutation, chromosome inactivation and nuclesome retention. A novel Gaussian model, GaussianCpG, is developed for detection of CpG islands on human genome. Their Gaussian model aims to simplify the complex interaction between nucleotides.
