Bachelor of Science
Graduated with a 2.0 average.
Bachelor thesis topic was about Automated Resolution of Merge Conflicts in Configurable C-Systems and graded 1.7 overall.
Projects
CMOP was developed as part of my bachelor thesis titled "Search-based Optimization of Merge Results in C-Software".
The given merge results do not delete any code, as they are generated automatically by a different tool.
CMOP then utilizes genetic programming and test cases to mutate the code in order to fit the specification (i.e. test cases).
CMOP is merely an experiment to examine the applicability of genetic programming on configurable C-preprocessor based systems.
