This master´s thesis deals with the registration of ultrasound sequences using evolutionary algorithms. The theoretical part of the thesis describes the process of image registration and its optimalization using genetic and metaheuristic algorithms. The thesis also presents problems that may occur during the registration of ultrasonographic images and various approaches to their registration. In the practical part of the work, several optimization methods for the registration of a number of sequences were implemented and compared.

This thesis deals with methods for optimization in image processing. There is described some of optimization techniques and some applications in image processing. There is also described detailed procedure and realization of bee algorithm, genetic algorithm, PSO algorithm and their realization in image registration, matched filtering, image segmentation and image reconstruction. Algorithms and their efficiencies are compared in the particular application for image processing.

This diploma thesis is devoted to the multivariate cryptosystems. It includes an overview of commutative algebra with emphasis on Gröbner bases. Of all algorithms, especially the ones using Gröbner bases are studied, i.e. Buchberger's algorithm, which is already implemented in Wolfram Mathematica, and F4 algorithm, for which a program package has been created in the Wolfram Mathematica environment. Also Zhuang-Zi algorithm is described. To simplify its steps a program to compute the Lagrange interpolation polynomial has been created in Python.

This final year thesis introduces the principles and properties of the artificial immune systems to the reader, then abstracts the principles from this knowledge and applies the real artificial immune systems on them. It provides a view at the practical applications that use and extend given ideas.

Title: Preference Top-k Search Based on Multidimensional B-Tree Author: RNDr. Matúš Ondreička Department: Department of Software Engineering Faculty of Mathematics and Physics Charles University in Prague Supervisor: Prof. RNDr. Jaroslav Pokorný, CSc. Author's e-mail address: ondreicka@ksi.mff.cuni.cz Supervisor's e-mail address: pokorny@ksi.mff.cuni.cz Abstract: In this thesis, we focus on the top-k search according to user pref- erences by using B+ -trees and the multidimensional B-tree (MDB-tree). We use model of user preferences based on fuzzy functions, which enable us to search according to a non-monotone ranking function. We propose model of sorted list based on the B+ -tree, which enables Fagin's algorithms to search for the top-k objects according to a non-monotone ranking function. We apply this model in the Internet environment with data on different remote servers. Furthermore, we designed novel dynamic tree-based data structures, namely, MDB-tree composed of B+ -trees, MDB-tree with lists, MDB-tree with groups of B+ -trees and multiple-ordered MDB-tree. Concurrently, we have developed novel top-k algorithms, namely, the MD algorithm, the MXT algorithm and their variants which are able search for the top-k objects ac- cording to a non-monotone ranking function. These top-k algorithms are efficient...

This master´s thesis is focused on the application of evolutionary algorithms for interleaving data obtained by ultrasound scanning of tissue. The interleaved curve serves to estimate perfusion parameters, thus allowing to detect possible pathophysiology in the scanned area. The theoretical introduction is devoted to perfusion and its parameters, contrast agents for ultrasonic application, ultrasonic modality scanning, optimization, evolutionary algorithms in general and two selected evolutionary algorithms - genetic algorithm and bee algorithm. These algorithms were tested on noisy data obtained from clinical images of mice with tumor. The final part summarizes the results of the practical part and provides suggestions and recommendations for further possible development.

In this thesis, an evolutionary system for searching quantum operators in the form of unitary matrices is implemented. The aim is to propose several representations of candidate solutions and settings of the evolutionary algorithm. Two evolutionary algorithms were applied: the genetic algorithm and evolutionary strategy. Furthermore, a method of generating a unitary matrix is presented which is used for the first time for this task. This method is in some aspects better than the previous ones. Finally, a comparison of all used techniques is shown in experiments.

The work deals with the optimization of trusses construction building and transport machinery. The goal was to create an algorithm that can design an optimized design. The simulation took place on two experiments involving 52 sets of different entries, which are processed in detail into graphs. One-dimensional target mass or price function is used as part of optimization, but there is also an incorporated multidimensional purpose function. The finite element variation method for the beam system is used for the strength calculation of the truss structure and the genetic algorithm is used for optimization. At the end of the work, specific steps are formulated that lead to the most appropriate algorithm settings.

Diploma thesis deals with usage of artificial coordinate systems used for localization of a station on the internet and prediction of delay between the stations. There are described and compared basic properties of centralized and decentralized algorithms providing station localization on the internet and RTT prediction. More in depth are presented main representatives of both types of algorithms such as GNP, IDMAPS or Lighthouse. Central part of thesis is aimed at getting to know Vivaldi distributed algorithm. Basic principle of the algorithm for constant and variable time step, using two dimensional coordinate system with 3rd parameter height, is here outlined. Further more implementation of this algorithm as a library Vivaldi-lib in the environment of Java is implemented. Part of the thesis are simulations of behaviour of this algorithm for both variations realized on artificial networks and data obtained from PlanetLab experimental network, using simulation created program VIVALDIMONITOR.

This master thesis deals with the automatic design of examinations and courses scheduling. The design is adapted to the specific requirements of the Faculty of Information Technology of Brno University of Technology. A genetic algorithm and a heuristic algorithm are employed to solve this task. The genetic algorithm is used to specify the sequence of the examinations (or the courses) and then the heuristic algorithm spread them out into a timetable. An implementation (written in Python 3) provides a fast parallel processing calculation which can generate satisfactory schedules in tens of minutes. Performed experiments show approximately 13% better results in all considered criteria in comparison with utilized examination schedules in the past. The development was periodically consulted with persons responsible for the schedule processing at the faculty. The program will be used while designing of examination schedules for the academic year 2015/2016.
