Developer-Centric Knowledge Mining from Large Open-Source Software Repositories (CROSSMINER)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2019,

Recent reports state that the adoption of open-source software (OSS) helps, resulting in savings of about $60 billion per year to consumers. However, the use of OSS also comes at enormous cost: choosing among OSS projects and maintaining dependence on continuously changing software requires a large investment. Deciding if an OSS project meets the required standards for adoption is hard, and keepin ...

volumetric medical x-ray imaging at extremely low dose (VOXEL)

Start date: Jun 1, 2015, End date: May 31, 2019,

Computerized Tomography (CT) has been one of the greatest achievements in medical imaging, but at the cost of a high, potentially harmful, X-ray irradiation dose. The ultimate goal of VOXEL is to provide an alternative to tomography with a disruptive technology enabling 3D X-ray imaging at very low dose. VOXEL aims at prototyping new cameras that will combine the X-ray penetration and nanometre sp ...

Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Optimization (MINO)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

"Complex decision making in enterprises should involve mathematical optimization methods, because a “best choice” has to be made out of a huge number of feasible options. A mathematical description of such decision processes typically involves both “continuous” and “discrete” decisions. If the latter are present, the customary modelling approach is to use integer variables, which are also used to ...
