Abstract:

There is a wide range of available biological databases developed by bioinformatics experts, employing different methods to extract biological data. In this paper, we investigate and evaluate the performance of some of these methods in terms of their ability to efficiently access bioinformatics databases using webbased interfaces. These methods retrieve bioinformatics information using structured and semi-structured data tools, which are able to retrieve data from remote database servers. This study distinguishes each of these approaches and contrasts these tools. We used Sequence Retrieval System (SRS) and Entrez search tools for structured data, while Perl and BioPerl search programs were used for semi-structured data to retrieve complex queries including a combination of text and numeric information. The study concludes that the use of semi-structured data tools for accessing bioinformatics databases is a viable alternative to the structured tools, though each method is shown to have certain inherent advantages and disadvantages.

Paper Title: Generic Modelling Using Uml Extensions for Queens Challenge Puzzle Game From 1 to 25 Levels System Authors: Hussain Mohammad Abu-Dalbouh, Ghadeer AlJibreen and Nehal AlDowighri, Qassim University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Abstract: The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a language for the specification, visualization, and documentation of object-oriented software systems. Existing UML diagrams can be used to conveniently model behavior, but these diagrams can be hardly used to model games. However, UML cannot describe in an explicit manner the games requirements needed for modeling Queens Challenge Game. In this study, the modeling of queens challenge puzzle from 1 to 25 levels is discussed, the proposed extension to UML covering the use case diagram, sequence diagram, activity diagram and class diagram aspects of proposed at the various views and diagrams of the UML. The use of queens challenge game is illustrated using a queens challenge puzzle from 1 to 25 levels example...
