Natural computing is concerned with human-designed computing inspired by nature as well as with computations taking place in nature, i.e., it investigates phenomena taking place in nature in terms of information processing. Well-known examples of the first strand of research are evolutionary computing, neural computation, cellular automata, swarm intelligence, molecular computing, quantum compu...

in order to improve the level of intelligence, availability, being on demand, convenience, information and humanization of rural public transportation systems, they are more willing to use modern information and communicative technologies. in addition to management services, intelligent transportation systems can provide passengers, drivers, travel agencies and other institutions with other ser...

Computational biology has become a fully multidisciplinary eld, including components of mathematics, biology, chemistry, and computer science. Computational biology is essentially the computer-aided analysis of the biology of organisms. Since even a single genome or proteome contains an immense quantity of data, performing even a simple analysis on genome-scale data quickly turns into a computa...

Structural biology research places significant demands upon high-performance computing. The elucidation of protein structures at atomic resolution is computationally demanding and requires user-friendly interfaces to high-performance computing resources. Fortunately, critical calculations are embarrassingly parallel and thus ideally suited to distributed computing. Here we discuss how we are us...

one of the main features of high throughput computing systems is the availability of high power processing resources. cloud computing systems can offer these features through concepts like pay-per-use and quality of service (qos) over the internet. many applications in cloud computing are represented by workflows. quality of service is one of the most important challenges in the context of sche...
