This page collects a set of demonstration video and live demonstrators that show three main technical aspects of Search Computing: the novel exploratory user interaction paradigm, the semantically-enabled service registration, the execution engine environment, which includes an engine workbench. This page also contains highlights from the several demonstration activities performed during the project. A final section gather additional demonstration videos that have been produced by SeCo master students and phds as a result of their activities.

To demonstrate the functionalities of the SeCo framework, we deployed three live demonstrators addressing different use cases and user information needs. The three live demonstrators are based on the exploratory search interface demonstrated in the exploratory search video [2], and explained in the How to use the Exploratory Search UI [7] tutorial.
A night planner is a short-term Web application presenting several geo-localized services, describing restaurants, shows, movies, family-events, music concerts, etc. The demostrator features an exploratory search interface, and a nlp query inteface that allows users to pose their query as a natural language question.

The Real Estate scenario simulates an information need for users that need to change their job and, consequently, to find a new place to live, possibly nearby a good school for the kids. The scenario features three classes of geo-localized services, describing real estate selling and rental services, job finding services, and resources related to schools. [more ... [9]]
In the Life Sciences, numerous questions can be addressed only by comprehensively searching different types of data that are inherently ordered, or are associated with ranked confidence values. By using available Web services for searching bioinformatics data and taking advantage of the attributes they define for providing a ranking, search computing techniques can be applied to efficiently search for globally ranked answers to such complex questions.
An example Life Science scenario has been considered to illustrate the new Bio Serch Computing (Bio-SeCo) prototype. The demostrator features an exploratory search interface and three classes of bio-services, i.e. sequence alignment search services (NCBI Blast and WU-BLAST), gene expression search service (Array Express), and genomic and proteomic data access (GPDW protein coding gene and gene biological function annotation) services. It allows users to explore available data and expand/refine partial query results to find answers to their complex biological questions. [more ... [10]]
