Agents and Data Mining in Bioinformatics: Joining Data Gathering and Automatic Annotation with Classification and Distributed Clustering

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 5680))

Abstract

Multiagent systems and data mining techniques are being frequently used in genome projects, especially regarding the annotation process (annotation pipeline). This paper discusses annotation-related problems where agent-based and/or distributed data mining has been successfully employed.
