XMLPipeDB: People

People

XMLPipeDB was created by the Bioinformatics Group at Loyola Marymount University, a collaborative research group founded by Dr. Kam D. Dahlquist (Department of Biology) and Dr. John David N. Dionisio (Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science). XMLPipeDB development began in Spring 2006 as a group project in a special studies course in Bioinformatics (CMSI 698/BIOL 498) team-taught by Drs. Dahlquist and Dionisio. Development continued in a second special studies course, Open Source Software Development Workshop (CMSI 698/598) and is ongoing. XMLPipeDB also follows the philosophy of Dr. Dionisio’s Recourse project, which seeks to introduce an open source culture into the computer science curriculum.
