    Abstract
    The classification of biological sequences is an open issue for a variety of data sets, such as viral and metagenomics sequences. Therefore, many studies utilize neural network tools, as the well-known methods in this field, and focus on designing customized network structures. However, a few works focus on more effective factors, such as input encoding method or implementation technology, to address accuracy and efficiency issues in this area. Therefore, in this work, we propose an image-based encoding method, called as WalkIm, whose adoption, even in a simple neural network, provides competitive accuracy and superior efficiency, compared to the existing classification methods (e.g. VGDC,...

    Abstract
    Bio-sequence comparators are one of the most basic and significant methods for assessing biological data, and so, due to the importance of proteins, protein sequence comparators are particularly crucial. On the other hand, the complexity of the problem, the growing number of extracted protein sequences, and the growth of studies and data analysis applications addressing protein sequences have necessitated the development of a rapid and accurate approach to account for the complexities in this field. As a result, we propose a protein sequence comparison approach, called PCV, which improves comparison accuracy by producing vectors that encode sequence data as well as physicochemical properties...

    Abstract
    It is well known that data centres consume high amounts of energy, which has become a major concern in the field of cloud computing. Therefore, energy consumption could be reduced by using intelligent mechanisms work to adapt the set of network components to the total traffic volume. SDN is an efficient way to do so because it has many benefits over traditional approaches, such as centralised management, low capex, flexibility, scalability and virtualisation of network functions. In our work will we use the heuristic energy-aware routing (HEAR) model, which is composed of the proposed heuristic algorithm and the energy-aware routing algorithm.

    Abstract
    The Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) binds to the derived peptides from pathogens to present them to killer T cells on the cell surface. Developing computational methods for accurate, fast, and explainable peptide-MHC binding prediction can facilitate immunotherapies and vaccine development. Various deep learning-based methods rely on feature extraction from the peptide and MHC sequences separately and ignore their valuable binding information. This paper develops a capsule neural network-based method to efficiently capture and model the peptide-MHC complex features to predict the peptide- MHC class I binding. Various evaluations over multiple datasets using popular performance metrics...

    Traffic models exert different message flows in a network and have a considerable effect on power consumption through different applications. So a good power analysis should consider traffic models. In this paper we present power and throughput models in terms of traffic rate parameters for the most popular traffic models, i.e. Uniform, Local, HotSpot and First Matrix Transpose (FMT) as a permutational traffic model. We also select Mesh topology as the most prominent NoC topology and validate the presented models by comparing our results against simulation results from Synopsys Power Compiler and Modelsim From the comparison, we show that our modeling approach leads to average error of 2%...
