Abstract: Systems, methods and computer readable media for performing a domain-specific metasearch, and obtaining search results therefrom. A metasearch engine capable of accessing generic, web-based search engines and domain-relevant search engines is provided to receive one or more queries inputted by a user, and to search for documents on at least one the generic, web-based search engines and domain-relevant search engines which are relevant to the queries. Raw data search results are fetched in the form of text documents. Relevant data including semantic information are extracted from the raw data search results, and converted to a local format. The relevant data having been converted to the local format may be visualized as a network visualization. Additionally or alternatively, the raw data search results may be ranked and/or filtered based on the linking of the relevant data.

Abstract: Systems, tools, methods and recordable media for text mining textual documents and extracting and associating entities and interactions mined with other data formats, such as diagrammatic displays and experimental data, using a local format. Additionally, information may be overlaid and compared with existing biological diagrams.

Abstract: A server application system includes a server application module that performs predetermined functions in response to external user requests. The server application system further includes a characterization module coupled to receive the external user requests, and to determine a threshold for user tolerance of delay for each of the user requests. Tolerance threshold is calculated using task type, service level, and session duration. A classification module is then coupled to the characterization module to dynamically assign each of the user requests an allowable processing deadline based on the corresponding user tolerance threshold of that user request. The processing deadline specifies the time period within which the particular user request must be serviced by the server application module. A method of admitting incoming user requests to a server application is also described.
