"Aspects of analysis and visualization of multidimensional datasets"

This talk is comprised of three parts: 

(a) We will describe a software system for the identification of structures in
    images. We will demonstrate the use of the software system to identify
    anatomical structures in human radiographs. The system employs an object
    oriented knowledge model to perform the desired analysis.

(b) The software system will be used to analyze the genomic structure and
    function in multidimensions. We will present results, which support a
    dynamic mosaic model for the higher order arrangement of genomic function
    inside the cell nucleus.

(c) We will present a methodology for temporal analysis of complimentary DNA
    microarray gene expression data sets.
