Automation of a Virtual Data Integration Systems for the Management of Genomic Data

Abstract

This document describes a theoretical proposal for creating an Automated Virtual Data Integration system (AVDIS) based on current solutions. The proposed AVDIS aims to solve or mitigate the main problems derived from data integration in data-intensive domains such as Genomics. The methodology used to develop the research work is the Design Science Research Methodology for Information Systems [17]. The selected DSRM involves a rigorous process to design artifacts to solve observed problems, make research contributions, evaluate the designs, and communicate the results to appropriate audiences. It consists of six activities: Problem identification and motivation, Define the objectives for a solution, Design and development, Demonstration, Evaluation, and Communication.
