Algorithms for Peptide Sequencing via Tandem Mass Spectrometry Ye Nan Peptide sequencing plays a fundamental role in proteomics. Improving the efficiency and accuracy of sequencing algorithms is at the center of researches on peptide sequencing. Two important problems are charge…

Tan Min Rui In many areas, we need a virtual representation of our real world surroundings. However, reconstructing a model of an actual scene is usually a tedious process. In this report, we explore a novel workflow for architectural model…

Luong Minh Thang We examine the problem of automatically aligning acoustic musical audio and textual lyric in popular songs. Existing works have tackled the problem using computationally-expensive audio processing techniques, resulting in solutions unsuitable for any real-time application. In contrast,…

Lim Chee Liang We propose a cryptographic protocol for the secure and efficient acknowledgment of peer-to-peer multicast messages. Every node is capable of verifying the acknowledgments upon receiving them, without waiting for and relying on the server. Our protocol is…

Zheng Jia This project deals with “fragment assembly” algorithms for a common task in bioinformatics: DNA sequencing. It can be modeled as combinatorial problems involving graph theoretical results and Multiple Sequence Alignment. The goal is to improve one particular method…

Joseph Tan Kai Huang The information science research community is divided between the system-centered cluster working on information retrieval (IR) algorithms and the user-centered cluster working on user behavior. A criticism from the user-centered cluster on the system-centered cluster is…

Pius W. Q. Lee The beautiful and mystical ocean remains one of the most unexplored and inaccessible regions on earth. Underwater Sensor Networks (UWSNs) are proposed as a means for oceanic observation, offering new capabilities such as real time monitoring,…

Lee Keng Siang K.S. Lee, G. Ashraf. Simplified Muscle Dynamics For Appealing Real-Time Skin Deformation. The 2007 International Conference on Computer Graphics and Virtual Reality (CGVR’07), 2007. We propose significant simplifications in muscle modeling and simulation to facilitate real-time anatomical…
