[Joelib-help] JOELib/JOELib2 differences: Why do we need more engineering in Cheminformatics
|

Hi,
three main differences:
1. JOELib2 contains a better class and interface structure. Which means,
external developers find a more stable cheminformatics interface. And
the probability to change the interface the next two years was reduced.
Of course, there are a lot of possible improvements possible, especially
to improve the pre-screening and speed of the query matching, but this
should now not affect the basic interface for external users. This will
be the next big refactoring, which should be adressed. Until now I am
still really busy with writing at my thesis, so I have no time for that,
but comes time comes thesis comes (hopefully) time :-)
2. The source code was cleaned up and the bug hunting for the underlying
chemical expert system is now easier in JOElib2 than before. Thats what
software engineering means. Combine practical engineering knowledge for
users with scientific standards, here chemical expert systems. But we
need more documentation, documentation, and documentation AND
*automatic* testing, testing, and testing, especially for the chemical
expert system, which contains very often ambigious or contradictionary
feature calculation methods.
3. Better algorithm development possibilities. My main working field is
method based cheminformatics development and fast algorithm prottyping
for mining tasks. So, JOELib fullfills those requirements, analogue to
MATLAB. If you need real speed you can transform the gained algorithm
knowledge to develop faster, but larger programs and processor optimized
algorithms.
BTW, there is a study the the main costs are not the development costs,
but the maintenance costs. So, the maintenance and future developments
cause 2/3 of all costs, so it is highly recommended to make such re-designs.
Especially in cheminformatics and drug design, where we have a lot of
expert knowledge it is highly recommended to combine the knowledge and
the engineering tasks in IT.
Kind regards, Joerg
