10th International Conference on Practical Applications of Computational Biology & Bioinformatics (Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing #477)
by Mohd Saberi Mohamad Miguel P. Rocha Florentino Fdez-Riverola Francisco J. Domínguez Mayo Juan F. De PazBiological and biomedical research are increasingly driven by experimental techniques that challenge our ability to analyse, process and extract meaningful knowledge from the underlying data. The impressive capabilities of next generation sequencing technologies, together with novel and ever evolving distinct types of omics data technologies, have put an increasingly complex set of challenges for the growing fields of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. The analysis of the datasets produced and their integration call for new algorithms and approaches from fields such as Databases, Statistics, Data Mining, Machine Learning, Optimization, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence. Clearly, Biology is more and more a science of information requiring tools from the computational sciences. In the last few years, we have seen the surge of a new generation of interdisciplinary scientists that have a strong background in the biological and computational sciences. In this context, the interaction of researchers from different scientific fields is, more than ever, of foremost importance boosting the research efforts in the field and contributing to the education of a new generation of Bioinformatics scientists. PACBB‘16 hopes to contribute to this effort promoting this fruitful interaction. PACBB'16 technical program included 21 papers spanning many different sub-fields in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. Therefore, the conference will certainly promote the interaction of scientists from diverse research groups and with a distinct background (computer scientists, mathematicians, biologists). The scientific content will certainly be challenging and will promote the improvement of the work being developed by each of the participants.

111 Thesen zur erfolgreichen Softwareentwicklung: Argumente und Entscheidungshilfen für Manager. Konzepte und Anleitungen für Praktiker (Xpert.press)
by Rainer GerlichZiel dieses Buches ist es, Managern Argumente und Entscheidungshilfen für die Einführung effizienter Techniken der Softwareentwi- lung zu geben, und Praktiker von der Notwendigkeit effizienter Softwaree- wicklung zu überzeugen und Wege zur erfolgreichen - wendung aufzuzeigen. Unter "effizienter Softwareentwicklung" verstehen wir die - setzung von Anforderungen in "qualitativ hochwertige" Software zu "angemessenem" Preis innerhalb "angemessener" Zeit. "Qualitativ hochwertig" steht für fehlerfrei, zuverlässig, robust und voll den Anforderungen entsprechend. Unter "angemessen" verstehen wir minimale Komplexität bei voller Abdeckung der - forderungen, bezahlbar und kurzfristig verfügbar. Im ersten Teil dieses Buches (Kap. 2 - 5) führen wir den Leser hin zum "automatischen Softwareproduktionsprozess", durch P- sentation von Thesen und Analysen. Anleitungen und Beispiele folgen im zweiten Teil (Kap. 6 und 7). Wir schließen mit Betra- tungen zur gesellschaftspolitischen Relevanz einer Technologie, die auf Automation beruht (Kap. 8). Wie in anderen Bereichen, in denen Automation bereits an- wendet wird, haben automatische Softwareproduktionsprozesse Einfluss auf die Arbeitsplätze. Präziser ausgedrückt, es fallen - stimmte Arten von Arbeitsplätzen weg, während andere entstehen. Für Manager und Entwickler, aber auch Ausbilder, ist es wichtig, sich frühzeitig auf die Möglichkeiten und Folgen dieser Technologie einzustellen. Zur Zeit wird durch "Outsourcing", "Nearshoring" oder "Offs- ring" versucht, die Softwareentwicklungskosten zu senken. "Au- mation" in der Softwareentwicklung geht darüber hinaus. Nicht nur Kosten sinken, auch Entwicklungszeit und -risiken, die Flexibilität ? Vorwort VII ? ? erhöht sich, und Know-how muss nicht nach außen weitergegeben werden.

12 Bytes: How We Got Here. Where We Might Go Next.
by Jeanette Winterson*A 'BOOKS OF 2021' PICK IN THE GUARDIAN, FINANCIAL TIMES AND EVENING STANDARD*Twelve bytes. Twelve eye-opening, mind-expanding, funny and provocative essays on the implications of artificial intelligence for the way we live and the way we love - from Sunday Times-bestselling author Jeanette Winterson. An original and entertaining new book from Jeanette Winterson, drawing on her years of thinking about and reading about Artificial Intelligence in its bewildering manifestations. She looks to history, religion, myth, literature, the politics of race and gender, and of course, computing science, to help us understand the radical changes to the way we live and love that are happening now. When we create non-biological life-forms, will we do so in our image? Or will we accept the once-in-a-species opportunity to remake ourselves in their image? What do love, caring, sex, and attachment look like when humans form connections with non-human helpers teachers, sex-workers, and companions? And what will happen to our deep-rooted assumptions about gender? Will the physical body that is our home soon be enhanced by biological and neural implants, keeping us fitter, younger, and connected? Is it time to join Elon Musk and leave Planet Earth? With wit, compassion and curiosity, Winterson tackles AI's most interesting talking points, from the algorithms that data-dossier your whole life, to the weirdness of backing up your brain.

147 Things: A hilariously brilliant guide to this thing called life
by Jim Chapman'It's Sapiens for teenagers.' The TimesLIFE IS WEIRD.Nothing gives you a sense of perspective like finding out just how weird.I'm an extremely curious chap and with this book I wanted to share the content of my noggin, because I think these are the 147 things that have helped me through this thing we call life. Sometimes because it shows how lucky we are to be here at all, but often because I’m a moron and learned whatever lesson it taught me the hard way, and I’d like to save you the pain of making the same mistakes (I refer here to the waxing of my pubic hair).Ever wondered if first times are over-rated (hint: they are), whether you’ll ever find the one (hint: there are 7 billion of us) or pondered the sheer unlikelihood of the you who is you being in the world right now? If so, then YouTube superstar and fact-obsessed, over-sharer Jim Chapman is here to explain it all – whether it’s why your heart actually aches after a break-up, what’s happening when you get hangry, or why people are just so plain RUDE online.Along the way, we’ll find out how much fun he has when Tanya’s sleep-talking and why he looked like a gangly T-rex with wonky teeth when he was a teenager. As with his videos, no subject is off-limits, as Jim lifts the lid on his life and his relationships, sharing embarrassing stories and things he’s learnt along the way (trust us, the thing about kangaroos will really freak you out).
