• Combinatorial optimisation for sustainable cloud computing 

  De Cauwer, Milan (University College Cork, 2018)

  Enabled by both software and hardware advances, cloud computing has emerged as an efficient way to leverage economies of scale for building large computational infrastructures over a global network. While the cost of ...
• Preference inference based on maximising margin 

  Montazery Hedeshi, Mojtaba (University College Cork, 2018)

  In a decision-making problem, where we need to choose a particular decision from a set of possible choices, the user often has some preferences which determine if one decision is preferred over another. When the number of ...
• An analytics-based decomposition approach to large-scale bilevel optimisation 

  Fajemisin, Adejuyigbe (University College Cork, 2018)

  Bilevel optimisation problems contain several decision makers, each with different objectives and constraints, arranged in a hierarchical structure. One type of bilevel problem is the single-leader, multiple-follower ...
• Exploiting machine learning for combinatorial problem solving and optimisation 

  Hurley, Barry (University College Cork, 2016)

  This dissertation presents a number of contributions to the field of solver portfolios, in particular for combinatorial search problems. We propose a novel hierarchical portfolio which does not rely on a single problem ...
• Finding optimal alternatives based on efficient comparative preference inference 

  Trabelsi, Walid (University College Cork, 2013)

  Choosing the right or the best option is often a demanding and challenging task for the user (e.g., a customer in an online retailer) when there are many available alternatives. In fact, the user rarely knows which offering ...
