Barry O’ Sullivan
I am a Science Foundation Ireland Principal Investigator, the Associate Director of Cork Constraint Computation Centre and a Senior Lecturer, Department of Computer Science University College Cork, Ireland.
Research Interests
My main area of research interest is intelligent software systems, artificial intelligence, optimisation and applications to real world problems. I am also interested in theoretical computer science, in particular param- eterised complexity and its applications. While, most of my work is in the area of constraint programming, I also like to combine techniques from the field of machine learning and formal methods with constraint and satisfiability solving techniques. Specific application domains I am interested in include: cancer care, health, environmental sustainability, computer/network security, configuration, design, telecommunications, combi- natorial auctions and electronic commerce. I am lucky to have a very successful research group. Some of our recent successes include: winning the Post-Enrollment Course Timetabling track at the 2007 International Timetabling Competition; overall winner of the 2008 International CSP Solver Competition with our case- based reasoning solver portfolio cpHydra; winning the 2007 IEEE Ramamoorthy Award; winning the Irish Software Association prize for Most Commercially Viable Student Project 2007.
