• Computing policy parameters for stochastic inventory control using stochastic dynamic programming approaches 

  Visentin, Andrea (University College Cork, 2020-08-29)

  The objective of this work is to introduce techniques for the computation of optimal and near-optimal inventory control policy parameters for the stochastic inventory control problem under Scarf’s setting. A common aspect ...
• Improving a branch-and-bound approach for the degree-constrained minimum spanning tree problem with LKH 

  Thiessen, Maximilian; Quesada, Luis; Brown, Kenneth N. (Springer, 2020-09-19)

  The degree-constrained minimum spanning tree problem, which involves finding a minimum spanning tree of a given graph with upper bounds on the vertex degrees, has found multiple applications in several domains. In this ...
• Cloud architectures and management approaches 

  Dong, Dapeng; Xiong, Huanhuan; González-Castañé, Gabriel; Morrison, John P. (Springer International, 2018-05-19)

  An overview of the traditional three-layer cloud architecture is presented as background for motivating the transition to clouds containing heterogeneous resources. Whereas this transition adds many important features to ...
• Guidelines for conducting software engineering research 

  Stol, Klaas-Jan; Fitzgerald, Brian (Springer International Publishing, 2020-08)

  This chapter presents a holistic overview of software engineering research strategies. It identifies the two main modes of research within the software engineering research field, namely knowledge-seeking and solution-seeking ...
• Parameter reduction in deep learning and classification 

  Browne, David (University College Cork, 2020-02-20)

  The goal of this thesis is to develop methods to reduce model and problem complexity in the area of classification tasks. Whether it is a traditional or a deep learning classification task, decreasing complexity helps ...
