Addressing the Concerns of the Lacks Family: Quantification of Kin Genomic Privacy

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Mathias Jacques Jean-Marc Humbert, Amalio Telenti, Erman Ayday

The rapid progress in human-genome sequencing is leading to a high availability of genomic data. This data is notoriously very sensitive and stable in time. It is also highly correlated among relatives. A growing number of genomes are becoming accessible o ...

Collaborative Schema Matching Reconciliation

Karl Aberer, Quoc Viet Hung Nguyen, Zoltán Miklós, Hoai Xuan Luong

Schema matching is the process of establishing correspondences between the attributes of database schemas for data integration purpose. Although several schema matching tools have been developed, their results are often incomplete or erroneous. To obtain c ...

Complete genome sequence of Dehalobacter restrictus PER-K23T

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Hauke Smidt

Dehalobacter restrictus strain PER-K23 (DSM 9455) is the type strain of the species Dehalobacter restrictus. D. restrictus strain PER-K23 grows by organohalide respiration, coupling the oxidation of H2 to the reductive dechlorination of tetra- or trichloro ...

Leveraging User-Generated Content for Information Discovery on the Web

Adriana Budura

The large-scale adoption of the Web 2.0 paradigm has revolutionized the way we interact with the Web today. End-users, so far mainly passive consumers of information are now becoming active information producers, creating, uploading, and commenting on all ...

Predictive approach for schema evolution

Hassina Bounif

In today's companies and organizations, databases are omnipresent. They are the means to represent and store information. Therefore, they must evolve whenever the information architecture (semantic and structure) changes. Databases are subject to evolution ...

Indexing strategies for rapid searches of short words in genome sequences

Giovanna Ambrosini, Philipp Bucher

Searching for matches between large collections of short (14-30 nucleotides) words and sequence databases comprising full genomes or transcriptomes is a common task in biological sequence analysis. We investigated the performance of simple indexing strateg ...

Semantic validation in spatio-temporal schema integration

Anastasiya Sotnykova

This thesis proposes to address the well-know database integration problem with a new method that combines functionality from database conceptual modeling techniques with functionality from logic-based reasoners. We elaborate on a hybrid - modeling+validat ...

EPFL2006

The beginning of this millennium has been marked by some remarkable scientific events, notably the completion of the first objective of the Human Genome Project [HGP], i.e., the decoding of the 3 billion bases that compose the human genome. This success ha ...

Belief Propagation on Uncertain Schema Mappings in Peer Data Management Systems

Karl Aberer, Philippe Cudré-Mauroux

Until recently, most data integration techniques involved central components, e.g., global schemas, to enable transparent access to heterogeneous databases. Today, however, with the democratization of tools facilitating knowledge elicitation in machine-pro ...
