Valid for year : 2008
 
TNK081 Applied Optimization in Communication Systems, 9 ECTS credits.
/Tillämpad kommunikationsoptimering/

For:   ITS   KTS  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 70
Rec. self-study hours: 170

  Area of Education: Science

Subject area: Mathematics, Transport Engineering
  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
The aim of the course is to provide the participants with knowledge in applied optimization, that is, the process of using optimization theories and methodologies for defining, modeling, solving, and analyzing engineering problems in communication systems. After the course, the participants shall be able to
  • describe classical optimization problems in the area of transport of communications
  • study and analyze problems in the area of transport of communications from an optimization perspective
  • develop problem-specific methods to exploit problem structure
  • implement optimization models and methods using computer programs.


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Programming principles, Data structures and algorithms, Optimization in networks

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
Organisation:
The course consists of lectures, seminars, and computer labs.

Course contents:
  • Modeling of optimization problems in communication systems
  • Optimization theory with focus on combinatorial optimization Optimization methods, in particular local search methods, meta heuristics, column generation, and Lagrangean-relaxation based search
