For analysis of the main effects of SNPs, meta-analysis of summary results from individual studies has been shown to provide comparable results as "mega-analysis" that jointly analyzes the pooled participant data from the available studies. This fact revolutionized the genetic analysis of complex traits through large GWAS consortia. Investigations of gene-environment (G×E) interactions are on t...

While opening avenues for unlimited possibilities, distributed systems have introduced management complexity as an unfavorable trait. Therefore, as distributed systems become commonplace, the automation of system management has become a primary challenge in information technology. The state of art in system management assigns each managed resource to an external entity (manager), which monitors...
