Subsequence Matching Framework

One of the key research issues drawing a lot of attention during the last two decades is the subsequence matching problem, which can be basically formulated as follows: Given a query sequence, find the best-matching subsequence from the sequences in the database. The Subsequence Matching Framework (SMF) is a versatile framework for prototyping, building and testing applications employing subsequence matching approaches.

Downloading

SMF is implemented as two logically separated Java libraries:

  • core classes and interfaces (Maven project in ZIP archive): SMF core
  • package with specific modules and subsequence matching algorithms (Maven project in ZIP archive): SMF implementation
  • you will also need current versions of the MESSIF library.
