The current understanding of the articulation between the-ory construction and experimental observation is still strongly influenced by the way it is instantiated in Physics. In the last decades, however, the upsurge of molecular Biology has provided a different framework and a source of novel insight. A discipline with openly explanatory and pre-dictive goals, molecular Biology relies to a lar...

One of the most exciting frontiers in both epigenetics and genome sciences is the new field of epigenomics. This new discipline promises novel insights into the genome because of its potential to detect quantitative alterations, multiplex modifications and regulatory sequences outside of genes. A number of new epigenomic strategies are emerging to exploit microarray formats with varying substra...

This work aims to analyse different design proposals for a dynamic Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) scheduler to provide Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees in general at IP level and specifically for the applications of the PHOENIX project. Several possible design options and configuration parameters have been investigated and studied for a dynamic scheduling discipline able to support QoS in a rel...
