Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Prerequisites

Applied optimization I, programming principles, and data structures, or equivalent

Intended learning outcomes

The aim of the course is to provide the participants with insights in applying optimization to solving problems originating from real life applications. The participants will gain knowledge of the process of using optimization theories and methodologies for defining, modeling, solving, and analyzing optimizing problems. After the course, the participants shall be able to

  • connect the course subjects to their study program
  • study and analyze problems in the area of transport and communications from an optimization perspective
  • use a modeling system for large scale optimization
  • use efficient data structures in implementation of optimization algorithms
  • develop, implement, and evaluate problem-specific methods that find solutions by effectively exploiting problem structure
  • verbal and written presentation of results

Course content

  • Problem definition, literature study, and information search
  • Study of to what extent the problem can be solved by mathematical modeling and general optimization software
  • Design of problem-specific methods, in particular heuristics
  • Design of data structures for method implementation
  • Implementation, experimentation, analysis and evaluation of optimization methods

Teaching and working methods

The course consists of seminars and project work with supervision
