| - | ===== Analysis of Local Optima Networks for the Max-Clique problem. ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Stochastic Local Search algorithms search for optimal solutions in a large space of candidate solutions. Local Optima Networks (LON) are representations of search landscapes of combinatorial optimisation problems. In these networks, nodes are local optima of the problem, and edges are weighted transitions between the optima. These networks model in a more compact way the properties of the larger search spaces they represent. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The goal of this project is to build LON of small instances of the Maximum Clique (MC) problem, and measure properties that could illustrate the differences between instance families. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The MC problem is an NP-hard combinatorial optimisation problem that asks to find the biggest completely connected component of a graph. It has relevant applications in information retrieval, computer vision, social network analysis, computational biochemistry, bioinformatics and genomics. | ||

| - | ===== A graphical interface for the optimisation of Water Distribution Networks ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | The [[http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~manuel/doc/cec2005-presentation.pdf|optimization of the operations of Water Distribution Networks]] may save important amounts of energy and its associated costs, and, therefore, it is an important problem in practice. There are [[http://www.epa.gov/nrmrl/wswrd/dw/epanet.html|graphical tools and simulators]] available. In addition, several optimization methods based on [[http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~manuel/doc/cec2005.pdf|evolutionary algorithms]] and [[http://dx.doi.org/10.1061/(ASCE)0733-9496(2008)134:4(337)|ant colony optimization]] have been proposed in the literature. The goal of this project is to integrate the optimization algorithms into a graphical environment that can be used by water engineers and operators. No knowledge about water distribution networks is necessary. The optimisation algorithms and toolkit libraries for handling water distribution networks will be available to the student. | ||
