Genomics

Genome database mining helps identifying protein-encoding regions of a genome, and understanding how functions are assigned to the genes by comparing their sequences of amino-acids with those observed in the genes of other, known functions.

Such sequence comparison is as complex as querying in very large databases. This makes the management of large databases a critical challenge in the realm of genomics.

EKOZ data representation techniques and algorithms could drastically change the way the genomics problem are addressed from a purely computational point of view.

Security

Recent history underlines the need for our society to improve security and access control systems. From terrorist threats up to controlled migration flows, the need for personal identification has never been so explicit.

Issues such as facial or digital prints recognition - the so-called biometrics - traditionnally required the usage of such large database, that the need for a fast response time has forced the software industry to abandon the concept of an exact answer. This creates even more complex situations, where decisions must be made on the basis of uncertain data or missing information.

With EKOZ, security problem can be addressed with no such tradeoffs. Just because EKOZ can address Very Large Database like any othe sized database, security problems are solved with exact response in a delay that is no more than a few seconds.
