Techniques for discovering multiple equivalent solutions

ABSTRACT

The main thrust of technological progress today is interdisciplinary research, e.g. arguably Computational Intelligence and Biology need a shared understanding of domain issues in Bioinformatics. Knowledge of cell biochemistry is advancing at a fast pace and the most pressing objectives are for rapid and cost-effective progress in Medicine, Public Health, and Environmental Science. And opportunities for cost-effective advances are possible in the interdisciplinary direction but this requires educating computer scientists about Biology and vice-versa as pre-requisite for this cost-effective progress to take place. So this interaction is important because the costs of research in drug discovery can be very high.
