An Analysis Of Techniques For Obtaining Speedup In Software Solutions For Proteomics, Urmi N. Bhayani Apr 2015

An Analysis Of Techniques For Obtaining Speedup In Software Solutions For Proteomics, Urmi N. Bhayani

Open Access Theses

Proteomics is the study of the structure and behavior of proteins. In order to perform this kind of an analysis, proteins are broken down into their constituent peptides, and values of different parameters are recorded. The amount of this kind of data collected is very large, and therefore analysis of this data becomes time-consuming. To overcome this issue, there have been several software developed for processing protein data. With a large number of software solutions available in the market, the decision about which one to use is hard for the end-user. The expectations from such a software for each user …

Advances In Technology Project Management: Review Of Open Source Software Integration, Maurice Dawson, Brian Leonard, Emad Rahim

Maurice Dawson

As organizations must continually drive down costs of software-driven projects, they need to evaluate the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and other software-based design methodologies. These methodologies include looking at software-based alternatives that could save a significant amount of money by reducing the amount of proprietary software. This chapter explores the use and integration of Open Source Software (OSS) in software-driven projects to include in enterprise organizations. Additionally, the legalities of the GNU General Public License (GPL), Lesser General Public License (LGPL), Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD), and Creative Commons are explored with the integration of these OSS solutions into organizations. …

Open Source Software To Enhance The Stem Learning Environment, Maurice Dawson, Imad Al Saeed, Jorja Wright, Festus Onyegbula

Maurice Dawson

This chapter examines the use of Open Source Software (OSS) technologies that can be used to improve the learning of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Explored are the various methods that can be utilized to improve the percentage of STEM majors in the American educational system with resources such as: Open Source as Alternative (OSALT), virtualization, cloud computing, Linux distributions, open source programming, and open source hardware platforms. Increasing the amount of students that pursue STEM majors is important because the projected job growth in the STEM field compared to non-STEM jobs is 33%. OSALT provides cost-effective alternatives to …
