Goals |
Deepen the knowledge on a wide variety of optimization techniques through a detailed study of state-of-the-art academic literature. Students learn to make appropriate design choices in algorithmic development for a broad range of real-life problems. Students can implement their own solution procedure and judge its quality and performance. Students can communicate their results in a professional way and translate numerical results in clear recommendations for the decision makers.
