ATM releases Research Informatics for Drug Discovery Report.Business Editors & Health/Medical Writers WOBURN, Mass.--(BW HealthWire)--June 30, 2000 In AdvanceTech Monitor's (ATM's) latest Industry Report www.advancetechmonitor.com, (19) leading experts at the interface of pharmaceutical discovery and information technology discuss the trends, strategies and the tremendous opportunities presented by Research Informatics Same as information technology and information systems. The term is more widely used in Europe. . Research Informatics is the system of databases, middleware Software that functions as a conversion or translation layer. It is also a consolidator and integrator. Custom-programmed middleware solutions have been developed for decades to enable one application to communicate with another that either runs on a different platform or comes from a , API's, logistic lo·gis·tic also lo·gis·ti·cal adj. 1. Of or relating to symbolic logic. 2. Of or relating to logistics. [Medieval Latin logisticus, of calculation tools, data mining and visualization Using the computer to convert data into picture form. The most basic visualization is that of turning transaction data and summary information into charts and graphs. Visualization is used in computer-aided design (CAD) to render screen images into 3D models that can be viewed from all analysis tools that together are creating the greatest opportunity for achieving competitive advantage in the pharmaceutical industry today. By integrating databases, processes and knowledge across domains in the pharmaceutical enterprise, the new informatics approach increases innovation productivity and speed. From this industry report, learn how your company can stay ahead of the curve on: The Corporate Information Spine: New developments in database management systems and middleware are changing the way companies store and share data. The report identifies the key components of the new "federated database A collection of databases that are treated as one entity and viewed through a single user interface. See EII, virtual database and federated. " architecture and reveals how this technology will help create true enterprise-wide collaborative environments.
