Finding the genes that exist within a DNA sequence and assigning them biological features and functions is one of the biggest challenges of Genomics. This task, called annotation, has to be as accurate and reliable as possible, because this information will be applied in other researches. Ideally, each sequence should be annotated and validated by a human expert, who has the knowledge to infer ...

The authors in this paper present a concept of the environment to acquire and process knowledge about information technology. This solution is part of a project of which the objective is to build a system for the evaluation of IT tools and methodologies. Knowledge within this domain is always either uncertain or incomplete. Therefore, the authors focused on designing a dedicated algorithm for i...

Multiple disorders are a daily problem in medical diagnosis and treatment. However, case-based diagnosis handling multiple disorders is still a challenging task. Although case-based reasoning has been applied successfully in medical domains, the handling of multiple disorders is often not sufficient. In this paper, we investigate three improved approaches for handling multiple disorders in case...
