Optimized Genetics Algorithms apply in Traveling Salesman problem 2005
Supervisor: Dr. Nguyen Dinh Thuc
Description: Using some local search algorithms to optimize the genetics algorithms. The concerned problem is theNP-Hard one: Traveling salesman problem.
“MATABraille” – Supporting tool for the visual-impaired 2004
Supervisor: Dr. Dinh Dien
Description: A kind of software that integrated into MS Word in order to help the visual-impaired people can compose
document easily, translate between Braille (language of the visual-impaired) and print characters (in language that we
are using), print document in both kinds of languages....
