MOSAIC Research Group

The MOSAIC research group is committed to the investigation and development of new modelling, optimisation and decision support technologies, which bridge the gap between the theory and practice of optimisation. MOSAIC is an acronym for Modeling, Optimisation, Scheduling and Intelligent Control. Based at the University of Bradford, it's specific research areas are: The group is actively seeking industrial, commercial, governmental and academic collaborators for a range of projects in scheduling, optimisation and artificial intelligence. These may range from small consultancy projects to large government-funded collaborations.
 * The investigation, modelling and solution of real-world scheduling and optimisation problems in partnership with commercial, scientific and governmental collaborators.
 * The investigation of tailored and general-purpose models, algorithms, heuristics, metaheuristics and evolutionary algorithms, and hyperheuristics
 * The development of flexible and easy-to-use decision support technologies, such as modelling languages, object libraries and graphical user interfaces
 * The application of artificial intelligence (AI) to create challenging artificial game opponents
