Mariën, Simon (author)
n the rapidly evolving semiconductor industry, precise material characterization is crucial. This thesis focuses on enhancing Ion Beam Analysis (IBA), a pivotal tool in semiconductor characterization, through the integration of differential evolution optimization. This research proposes a single and multi spectra optimization algorithm approach...

This thesis proposes and develops an interface and model in which advanced optimisation for general employee scheduling is made available to non-experts in computer science or optimisation. The interface teaches, guides, configures, dynamically creates a constraint programming (CP) model, iteratively improves, decreases black box properties,...

The Multi-Objective Dial-a-Ride Problem (DARP) poses significant challenges in the field of transportation optimization, requiring the simultaneous optimization of conflicting objectives such as travel costs, emission, and customer ride times. In this research, we analyse two distinct approaches for tackling the Multi-Objective DARP: Mixed...

Reducing cost and improving computability of reservoir simulation is an important goal in the process of enabling CCS (Carbon Capture \& Storage) as a large-scale technology for mitigating CO2 emissions. In terms of computation time data-driven approaches have potential to outweigh the performance of numerical reservoir simulators, learning...

There is increasingly more expensive maintenance that needs to be performed on the Dutch railway network. Good maintenance schedules reduce costs, minimise hindrance to passenger and freight travel, and follow restrictions imposed by available resources, legislation and other agreements. The railway maintainer has modelled this maintenance...

Lely is developing a tethered manure applicator robot, designed to work on the fields of farms. This vehicle called the Jojo, is constrained in its movement due to the attached tether. It can not make tight turns and can only reverse by backtracking the driven path. This thesis explores the path planning issue and provides a novel solution. The...

This thesis aims at maximizing the profit of a strawberry producer while satisfying the retailer's demand and meeting other constraints. The amount of strawberries to be delivered to the retailer signed in the contract is the main decision variable to be optimized in the problem. Furthermore, the transportation scheduling is also optimized to...

Inductive logic programming is a technique that generates logic programs which keep to a given specification using a background knowledge. We propose a new task in the field of pro- gram synthesis called Time-gated Partition-selection Inductive Logic Programming, consisting of splitting the background knowledge into partitions and selecting only...

<br/>Constraint programming solvers provide a generalizable approach to finding solutions for optimization problems. However, when comparing the performance of constraint programming solvers to the performance of a heuristic solver for an optimization problem such as cluster editing, the heuristic solver is able to find near-optimal and optimal...

Integrated circuits are vital in the modern world. Testing these circuits is often a months long process involving measurements at multiple times during long stress tests. In this work, final measurements from such tests are predicted based on early measurements, potentially reducing the time needed for such tests and giving preliminary results....

Surrogate modelling techniques such as Kriging are a popular means for cheaply emulating the response of expensive Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations. These surrogate models are often used for exploring a parameterised design space and identifying optimal designs. Multi-fidelity Kriging extends the methodology to incorporate data of...

Situational awareness within port areas is crucial to avoid collisions, navigate efficiently and reduce congestion. Maritime-traffic controllers constantly monitor the situation in the port and intervene when needed. This study proposes a deep learning model that predicts future vessel positions to assist in this process. The model employs a...

Designing golf course routings is a challenging problem as a golf course should obey the golf course regulation, be safe to play by having enough room between the holes and be diverse and challenging to the golf players. A potential exact solution can come in the form of a constraint programming model, in which solvers take care of the...

In addition to delivering groceries at customers’ doorsteps, online supermarket Picnic goes the extra mile by aiming to improve customer satisfaction. For instance, by providing cooking inspiration to customers through a recently launched recipe page in the app. This feature presents new recipes weekly and allows customers to easily add the...

The online supermarket Picnic uses the volume of groceries to pack them into totes and bags. While this generally works well, there are cases in which an article's volume fits into a designated space, but its dimensions do not. To prevent this so-called overflow, Picnic uses a maximum fill rate of 85%, which means that no tote can be filled to...

Vehicle routing problems (VRP) and Container Loading Problems (CLP) have been studied for decades. However, the combination of the two deserves more attention than in the literature to date. When solving VRP problems, computed routes must be checked for feasibility. Among the feasibility checks to perform, we need to guarantee that the load plan...

The increased heat on an integrated circuit is a limiting factor for the performance and lifetime of a chip. The increased power density on chips resulted in increased heat and the formation of non-uniform hotspots. Earlier research has shown that the package design and layout of package components in flip-chip design can influence the thermal...

Increased urbanisation has led to significant challenges for public transport operators. Inconsistent demand leads to peaks in passenger activity on the network. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has introduced a need for social distancing as well, limiting the desired capacity of vehicles. To combat this, intelligent real-time and data-driven...

Multi-Level variants of classic optimisation problems are becoming more noteworthy as the complexity of real life applications increases. In this research we investigate the Multi-Level Bin Packing optimisation problem, which models, for example, global logistics and part manufacturing. We will look at the performance of solving Integer Linear...

This paper introduces and studies the Multi-Level Bin Packing Problem with Time Windows. This is a NP-hard problem with real-world applications in logistics. This problem states that items with certain sizes need to be packed inside bins without exceeding their capacity. These bins then again need to be assigned to other bins while minimizing...
