Knowledge Discovery Environment

Founded in 1999, InforSense markets a workflow engine known as Open Discovery Workflow, originating from Imperial College in London. The company s flagship software product is the Knowledge Discovery Environment (KDE) that supports a number of horizontal and vertical applications for life sciences discovery in addition to a graphical tool for the design and analysis of workflows. 

The core Knowledge Discovery Environment is a workflow platform targeted at the needs of analysts handling large data volumes from disparate sources.

The forthcoming km3 neutrino telescopes are discovery detectors that could widen the knowledge of the Universe. These detectors have high potential to solve questions as the detection of UHECR sources, the investigation of hadronic processes in astrophysical environments or massive dark matter. Strong scientific motivations suggest the construction of two km3 scale detectors in the Northern and the Southern Hemisphere. 

Ultimately, the final crop protection compound will require the best combination of potency, uptake, translocation, selectivity, metabolism, degradation, and minimal toxicity to non-pest organisms. This is the same set of criteria that all crop protection chemicals have to meet. The only real difference with the methods detailed here is that the lead compound and the decisions of how to modify its chemical structure came from a knowledge of the biochemistry. This approach may significantly decrease the number of analogues that must be made and result in a more efficient discovery of crop protection chemicals which are potent, selective and of minimal risk to the environment.
