The next generation models for crops and agro-ecosystems

TALE nucleases and next generation GM crops.

Site-specific and adaptable DNA binding domains are essential modules to develop genome engineering technologies for crop improvement. Transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) proteins are used to provide a highly specific and adaptable DNA binding modules. TALE chimeric nucleases (TALENs) were used to generate site-specific double strand breaks (DSBs) in vitro and in yeast, Caenorhabditi...

Generative Models for Clustering: The Next Generation

Clustering social information is challenging when both attributes and relations are present. Many approaches commonly used today ignore one aspect of the data or the other. Relation-only algorithms are typically limited because the sparseness of relations in social information makes finding strong patterns difficult. Feature-only algorithms have the limitation that the most interesting (and use...

Sustainability of Business Ecosystems for Next Generation Cognitive Networks

This paper analyzes the viability and sustainability of business ecosystems for next generation self-growing, reconfigurable, and energy-aware networks. Focus is placed on how interactor relationships in business ecosystems can affect and act as barriers for commercial success of energy efficient solutions. For this, the paper combines a multi-actor framework (MACTOR) with a Business Model appr...
