Siamak Farshidi
I hold the position of senior researcher at the Department of Information and Computer Science at Utrecht University. My research primarily centers around the domains of recommender systems, search engines, and decision-making in software engineering. While the majority of my work delves into highly technical subjects, I also occasionally explore conceptual modeling and knowledge engineering.

Research Experience
AMUSE Project - Utrecht University
The AMUSE research project is an academic collaboration between Universiteit Utrecht and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam to address software composition, configuration, deployment and monitoring challenges on heterogeneous cloud ecosystems through ontological enterprise modeling. The following sub-projects have been accomplished:
| Designing and implementing a decision support system for supporting decision-makers with multi-criteria decision-making problems in software production. | |
| Building a decision model for the database management system selection problem. | |
| Building a decision model for the database management system selection problem. | |
| Building a decision model for the cloud service provider selection problem. | |
| Building a decision model for the blockchain platform selection problem. | |
| Building a decision model for the programming language selection problem. | |
| Building a decision model for the model-driven development platform selection problem. | |
| Building a decision model for the software architecture pattern selection problem. | |
| Hermeneutic Interpretation in Theory Development in Information Science. | |
| The Role of Quality in Software Architecture: A Systematic Literature Review. |
Heuristic Search in Global Optimization - Shiraz University
Global optimization is a branch of applied mathematics and numerical analysis that attempts to find the global minima or maxima of a function or a set of functions on a given set. I was working as a master student under the supervision of Prof. Koorush Ziarati at Shiraz University. The following sub-projects have been accomplished:
| Designing and implementing a Hybrid algorithm based on particle swarm optimization with two genetic operators for the multi-mode resource constraint scheduling problem. | |
| Evaluating the efficiency of the meta-heuristic algorithms, such as Hill climbing, Simulated annealing, Genetic Algorithm, Artificial Ant Colony, and Particle Swarm optimization to solve the vehicle routing problem (VRP). |
