Introduction
Bioinformatics research, database management, data mining and other related activities are scaling up to levels which cannot be handled efficiently with manual techniques. Many organizations handling database creation and management are resorting to workflow integration. In the InforSense talk and workshop, we will share the experience of delivering rapid workflow integration solutions for researchers in academia and industry is described based on InforSense analytical platform. Use cases will be discussed along the concepts of workflow integration.
InforSense (http://www.inforsense.com) is an advanced informatics infrastructure that enables scientists and researchers to make better decision and enhance productivity across life science R&D, chemistry, healthcare and business analytics. Using InforSense flagship product, InforSense KDE (Knowledge Discovery Environment), decision-makers can easily derive the knowledge they require to make better decisions, faster.
InforSense provide domain specific analytical components in key areas of life sciences research, include Genetics, Genomics, Bioinformatics, Cheminformatics and Computational Chemistry. InforSense's life science analytics have a number of benefits, including:
- Rapid and accurate high throughput data analysis enabling faster cycle times for drug discovery, development and clinical trials.
- Unifying platform for bioinformatics, cheminformatics, statistical genetics and translational medicine.
- Domain specific techniques reduce dependency on IT resources.
Complete and comprehensive Life Science research requires specialized capabilities for bioinformatics, cheminformatics, statistical genetics and integrated reference to existing bodies of scientific research. Furthermore, user requirements for these different informatics disciplines vary greatly, but to be successful, these areas need to communicate more using a unified advanced analytical platform. InforSense KDE is exactly such an integrated environment to meet this need.
In this workshop, the InforSense China team will present the InforSense KDE system as a tutorial demonstration and a hands-on workshop, and will encourage participants to set up the system to practice bio-workflow building, deployment and publishing.
Qualified trainees will be invited for additional training and software will be provided for the participants to enter formal InCoB2007 Workflow Competition.
