PhD Thesis:
My PhD studies were in theoretical computer science with a cloud computing specialty. I got my PhD from the University of Malaya, which ranked among 100 universities worldwide. My thesis entitled: “Hybrid Metaheuristics for QoS-Aware Service Composition” has been a systematic effort to transcend the boundary of metaheuristics by using granular computing and mainly set theory. The thesis has published in IEEE Access that has ranked top 3 journal in computer science as follows:
- Hybrid Metaheuristics for QoS-Aware Service Composition: A Systematic Mapping Study (IEEE Access)
- Hybrid Metaheuristics Using Rough Sets for QoS-aware Service Composition (IEEE Access)
I enjoyed the supervision of Prof Abdullah Gani, ex-dean of the faculty of computer science and one of the top-rank Malaysian computer scientists (Top 3-Research.com). Moreover, my thesis was examined and praised by life IEEE fellow Witold Pedrycz, chair of the Canadian research council. The thesis reports are in follow:
