When viewing the Technical Program schedule, on the far righthand side is a column labeled "PLANNER." Use this planner to build your own schedule. Once you select an event and want to add it to your personal schedule, just click on the calendar icon of your choice (outlook calendar, ical calendar or google calendar) and that event will be stored there. As you select events in this manner, you will have your own schedule to guide you through the week.

ABSTRACT:
Clustering is one of the advanced analytical functions that has an immense potential to transform the knowledgespace when applied particularly to a data-rich domain such as computational biology. The computational hardness of the underlying theoretical problem necessitate use of heuristics in practice. In this study, we evaluate the application of a randomized sampling-based heuristic called shingling on unweighted biological graphs and propose a new variant of this heuristic that extends its application to weighted graph inputs and is better positioned to achieve qualitative gains on unweighted inputs as well. We also present parallel algorithms for this heuristic using the MapReduce paradigm. Experimental results on subsets of a medium-scale real world input (containing up to 10.3M vertices and 640M edges) demonstrate significant qualitative improvements in the reported clustering, both with and without using edge weights. Furthermore, performance studies indicate near-linear scaling on up to 4K cores of a distributed memory supercomputer.
