Using upgraded shifting bottleneck heuristic for resolving the Job Shop Problem with recirculation. Project was featured on the Symorg 2022 conference.

Building a Java library that provides users with the ability to define, visualize, and test their own trading patterns on any given tradable financial asset. Pattern definition is done using a set of rules defined and documented in the library. These rules are created so that patterns can be defined with maximum flexibility. An engine is built that runs the simulation using the time series of the given financial asset (stock, cryptocurrency, etc.), and the results are visualized using JFreeChart.

The first stage of this project was consisted of benchmarking C++, Python, and Java on different algorithms (search, sort, encryption, etc.) and different datasets, as well as many other different aspects of programming languages (multithreading, popularity, portability, applicability, and so on) and pondering collected data. The second stage represented building an Android application that relies on the mentioned ponders to recommend one of these programming languages to the user based on his input.
