| Description |
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE TEACHING AND ASSESSMENT METHOD(S) USED IN THIS COURSE IS WITH RESERVATION. A RE-EMERGENCE OF THE CORONAVIRUS AND NEW COUNTERMEASURES BY THE DUTCH GOVERNMENT MIGHT FORCE COORDINATORS TO CHANGE THE TEACHING AND ASSESSMENT METHODS USED. THE MOST UP-TO-DATE INFORMATION ABOUT THE TEACHING/ASSESSMENT METHOD(S) WILL BE AVAILABLE IN THE COURSE SYLLABUS.
In this course students will learn how to use previously learned advanced techniques from mathematical programming, combinatorial optimisation, and heuristics and search methodologies to specific classes of real-life applications in areas such as logistics, telecommunication, and supply chains. This will be achieved by studying state-of-the-art research articles and current research presentations. Students will understand, adapt, implement and analyse algorithms from these sources in order to test the validity of the approach to specific problems. Students will also work on a larger practical project in a team to learn about the software development life cycle. |
