Marculescu et al, "Outstanding Research Problems in NoC Design," IEEE Trans CAD of Integrated Circuits, v. Kolodny, "What is Network-on-Chip?," ACM/SIGDA Newsletter, Vol. Requirements: strong background in computer architectures, embedded systemsĭesired: networks-on-chip ( EDI), response time analysis ( RTS) simulation models or static analysis) that can comparatively evaluate different schedules.

The trade-off to be explored has to take into account the following aspects: by creating shortcuts, duplicating congested links).

Given a particular application, the goal of the project is to devise an algorithm that can schedule reconfigurations in such a way that it minimises the worst case behaviour of the application (i.e. This project assumes a network-on-chip architecture that can dynamically reconfigure its topology. 92(4) 1093–1103.ġ2.lsi.2 - Scheduling topology reconfiguration in Networks-on-Chip Last-minute bidding and the rules for ending second-price auctions: Evidence from eBay and Amazon on the Internet. Buy prices in online auctions: Irrationality on the Internet? Econom. Suitable for: CS, CS/Maths, MEng, MScNC, MScSWE, MScComp, MScIT Requirements: creativity and self-motivationĭesired: good background in algorithms, good programming skills (specially if the interface with auction websites is to be built), solid background in quantitative analysis


Can algorithms improve their effectiveness by learning from the current bidding history of the target auction? And of similar ones?.average winning bid, or list of winning bids over a period, such as Can the algorithms improve their effectiveness by learning from the history of similar auctions (e.g.How can the value of a particular purchase be estimated? A simple approach is to use price references for the products of interest, but alternative approches can try to infer value from other auctions of the same product (e.g.A number of interesting research questions can be addressed: This is an open-ended project that attempts to use optimisation techniques to decide, given a portfolio of available auctions and a fixed amount of money, which are the products and bids that would maximise the value of the purchases.
