Compiling concurrency correctly: cutting out the middle man (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hu, L., & Hutton, G. Compiling concurrency correctly: cutting out the middle man. Presented at Symposium on Trends in Functional Programming (10th)

The standard approach to proving compiler correctness for concurrent languages requires the use of multiple translations into an intermediate process calculus. We present a simpler approach that avoids the need for such an intermediate language, usin... Read More about Compiling concurrency correctly: cutting out the middle man.

Learning pathway-based decision rules to classify microarray cancer samples (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Glaab, E., Garibaldi, J. M., & Krasnogor, N. Learning pathway-based decision rules to classify microarray cancer samples. Presented at 25th German Conference on Bioinformatics 2010

Despite recent advances in DNA chip technology current microarray gene expression studies are still affected by high noise levels, small sample sizes and large numbers of uninformative genes.

All chromosomes must be completely replicated prior to cell division, a requirement that demands the activation of a sufficient number of appropriately distributed DNA replication origins. Here we investigate how the activity of multiple origins on e... Read More about Mathematical modelling of whole chromosome replication.
