A number of interesting topics have been identified at HEUREKA! to be treated in a master thesis or PhD thesis. Please contact our head Dr. Affenzeller for further information and assistance on the topic. Several PhD theses will be investigated and completed at HEUREKA! in the area of:

• Simulation-based optimization
• Agent models for genetic programming
• Optimization in production planning

The following topics are currently investigated in master theses at the FH-OÖ campus Hagenberg:

• Implicit optimization of control parameters in metaheuristics
• Diploid encoding in genetic algorithms
