A satisfiability modulo theories approach to constraint programming 

    Suy Franch, Josep (Date of defense: 2012-12-20)

    In this thesis we focus on solving CSPs using SMT. Essentially, what we do is reformulating CSPs into SMT. The obtained results allow us to conclude that state-of-the-art SMT solvers are a robust tool to solve CSPs. We ...

    Compositional methodology and statistical inference of family relationships using genetic markers 

    Galván Femenía, Iván (Date of defense: 2020-07-10)

    The present thesis is a compendium of three research articles produced between 2015 and 2019. The three articles are different contributions based on compositional statistical methodology and statistical inference of ...

    GPU parallel algorithms for reporting movement behaviour patterns in spatiotemporal databases 

    Valladares Cereceda, Ignacio (Date of defense: 2013-07-18)

    In this thesis we treat and solve various problems related to movement pattern detection by designing and implementing parallel algorithms using the GPU. We first propose a GPU pipeline based algorithm to report the ’Popular ...

    Gràfic de control T2 de Hotelling per a dades composicionals 

    Vives Mestres, Marina (Date of defense: 2014-11-28)

    Compositional data are defined as vectors of components that represent parts of a whole and contain relative information (e.g. %, ppm, mg/l...). CoDa are widely found in chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries among ...

    High dynamic range content acquisition from multiple exposures 

    Ramírez Orozco, Raissel (Date of defense: 2016-01-29)

    The limited dynamic range of digital images can be extended by composing different exposures of the same scene to produce HDR images. This thesis is composed of an overview of the state of the art techniques and three ...

    Medical imaging applied to teaching and meat science 

    Xiberta, Pau (Date of defense: 2018-05-25)

    Medical imaging has greatly progressed to become an essential technology in current clinical processes. However, advances in diagnostic imaging have not been applied to the same extent to other fields such as education and ...

    Reformulation of constraint models into SMT 

    Palahí i Sitges, Miquel (Date of defense: 2015-12-10)

    In this thesis we focus on reformulate constraint satisfaction problems (CSP) into SAT Modulo Theories (SMT). SMT is an extension of SAT where the literals appearing in the formulas are not restricted to contain only ...

    Scheduling through logic-based tools 

    Coll Caballero, Jordi (Date of defense: 2019-07-15)

    Scheduling problems consist in determining how to execute the activities of a project in order to satisfy some requirements. Such problems are ubiquitous nowadays in industry and services, but finding solutions of scheduling ...
