Space Monkeys, Found this from a tibtech paper: http://www.kris-inc.com/KRIS/index.html Here's an excerpt: BioKRIS software provides computational workflow and data warehousing solutions for bioinformatics. BioKRIS solves challenging data integration tasks with a revolutionary mathematical query engine that speeds development time and dramatically improves query performance. BioKRIS can be used both as a stand-alone application or as a platform for integrating in-house tools into packaged applications. ------------ They also have links to a bunch of publications (~200 pages!) related to their core architecture, Kleisli and the collection programming language (CPL). --gary =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Gary Van Domselaar gvd at redpoll.pharmacy.ualberta.ca Faculty of Pharmacy Phone: (780) 492-4493 University of Alberta FAX: (780) 492-5305 Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
