The Combined Van-and-Mopeds Routing Problem with Time Windows: Formulation, Variants, and Solution Methods
Pedro Lameiras, Alexandre P. Francisco, Adriano Serrano +1
We introduce and study the Combined Van-and-Mopeds Routing Problem with Time Windows (CVMRPTW), a novel variant of the heterogeneous fleet vehicle routing problem motivated by last…
Approximating SPR Distance Between Phylogenetic Trees with Graph Neural Networks
Renata Martins Castanheira, Miguel Bugalho, Cátia Vaz
Comparing phylogenetic tree topologies is essential for understanding epidemic dynamics, yet biologically meaningful distances such as the Subtree Prune and Regraft (SPR) distance…
Identity-Bound Academic Credentials on Blockchain: On-Chain Issuer Accreditation with ERC-3643 and OnchainID
Gonçalo Frutuoso, Diogo Rodrigues, Alexandre P. Francisco +1
Verifying academic credentials remains difficult: records are held by individual institutions in proprietary systems, verification is slow and manual, and counterfeit qualification…
AIdentifyAGE Ontology for Decision Support in Forensic Dental Age Assessment
Renato Marcelo, Ana Rodrigues, Cristiana Palmela Pereira +5
Age assessment is crucial in forensic and judicial decision-making, particularly in cases involving undocumented individuals and unaccompanied minors, where legal thresholds determ…
A modular and scalable web platform for computational phylogenetics
Nyckollas Brandão, André Jesus, André Páscoa +3
Phylogenetic analysis, which allow to understand the evolution of bacterial and viral epidemics, requires large quantities of data to be analysed and processed for knowledge extrac…
Phylogenetic tree distance computation over succinct representations
António Pedro Branco, Cátia Vaz, Alexandre P. Francisco
There are several tools available to infer phylogenetic trees, which depict the evolutionary relationships among biological entities such as viral and bacterial strains in infectio…
On Finding Optimal (Dynamic) Arborescences
Joaquim Espada, Alexandre P. Francisco, Tatiana Rocher +2
Let G = (V, E) be a directed and weighted graph with vertex set V of size n and edge set E of size m, such that each edge (u, v) \in E has a real-valued weight w(u, c). An arboresc…
phyloDB: A framework for large-scale phylogenetic analysis
Bruno Lourenço, Cátia Vaz, Miguel E. Coimbra +1
phyloDB is a modular and extensible framework for large-scale phylogenetic analyses, which are essential for understanding epidemics evolution. It relies on the Neo4j graph databas…
FLOWViZ: Framework for Phylogenetic Processing
Miguel Luis, Catia Vaz
The increasing risk of epidemics and a fast-growing world population has contributed to a great investment in phylogenetic analysis, in order to track numerous diseases and conceiv…
Distance-based phylogenetic inference from typing data: a unifying view
Cátia Vaz, Marta Nascimento, João A. Carriço +2
Typing methods are widely used in the surveillance of infectious diseases, outbreaks investigation and studies of the natural history of an infection. And their use is becoming sta…
Beyond NGS data sharing and towards open science
Bruno Dantas, Calmenelias Fleitas, Alexandre P. Francisco +2
Biosciences have been revolutionized by next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies in last years, leading to new perspectives in medical, industrial and environmental applicatio…
