Extremely large datasets have become routine in biology. However, performing a computational analysis of a large dataset can be overwhelming, especially for novices. Here, we present a step-by-step guide to computing workflows with the biologist end-user in mind. Starting from a foundation of sound data management practices, we make specific recommendations on how to approach and perform comput...

This paper presents a technique, Probabilistic Road Map (PRM) planning and its application to aircraft for rapidly generating routes using aggressive maneuvers to avoid incoming munitions, terrain, and other aircraft while trying to maintain other mission objectives. The technique was applied to a high fidelity simulation and shown to always generate correct routes within its 0.1 seconds deadli...
