From the Contents: Integrative approaches for Drug discovery – PPAR gamma as a case study -- Biomedical Informatics and the Future of Medicine -- Inferring E. coli SOS Response Pathway from Gene Expression Data Using IST-DBN with Time Lag Estimation -- Framework for Biodiversity Information Retrieval in Malaysia -- Using Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) on Kinetic Modeling of the Acetoin Production in Lactococcus lactis C7.

Current Biomedical Databases are independently administered in geographically distinct locations, lending them almost ideally to adoption of intelligent data management approaches. This book focuses on research issues, problems and opportunities in Biomedical Data Infrastructure identifying new issues and directions for future research in Biomedical Data and Information Retrieval, Semantics in Biomedicine, and Biomedical Data Modeling and Analysis. The book will be a useful guide for researchers, practitioners, and graduate-level students interested in learning state-of-the-art development in biomedical data management.
