Container enables a new way to run applications by containerizing the application, which provides kinds of services to make them portable, extensible, and easy to be transferred between private data centers and public clouds. Comparing with virtual machines, containers have several advantages in terms of simplicity, low-overhead and lightweight. However, as the OS kernel and resources are share...

In the last decade, industry’s demand for deep learning (DL) has increased due to its high performance in complex scenarios. Due DL method’s complexity, experts and non-experts rely on blackbox software packages such as Tensorflow Pytorch. The frameworks are constantly improving, new versions released frequently. As a natural process development, contain improvements/changes methods their imple...

Computer Assisted Discovery Extraction and Translation (CADET) is a workbench for helping knowledge workers find, label, and translate documents of interest. It combines a multitude of analytics together with a flexible environment for customizing the workflow for different users. This open-source framework allows for easy development of new research prototypes using a micro-service architectur...

Software is now both central and essential to modern biology, yet lack of availability, difficult installations, and complex user interfaces make software hard to obtain and use. Containerisation, as exemplified by the Docker platform, has the potential to solve the problems associated with sharing software. We propose bioboxes: containers with standardised interfaces to make bioinformatics sof...
