Block Course

Applied Network Optimization

March 31 - April 11, 2003
START: March 31 at 9:15

Location: Institut für Mathematik, Technische Universität Berlin
Straße des 17. Juni 136, D-10623 Berlin
Room MA 141

CONTENTS: We will study topics in network optimization that arise in telecommunication, traffic management, and project planning. The presentation will start from the applications and investigate both the mathematical background and the techniques applied in practice.

Specific topics are

routing in telecommunication networks, disjoint path problem and network design
static traffic routing and multicommodity flows
dynamic traffic routing and flows over time
urban transportation networks and peridodic timetables
project planning and scheduling

During the morning sessions the theoretical material will be exhibited and discussed, while in the afternoon "exercise" sessions exercises and problems will provide participants an opportunity to test and improve their problem-solving ability in order to obtain sufficient familiarity with the theory.

PREREQUISITES: Basic knowledge in graph theory, network flows and linear programming

LECTURERS: Rolf Möhring and Martin Skutella, Technische Universität Berlin

The course may be held in English if there are foreign participants

REGISTRATION: Participants should register by sending an email to Gabriele Klink until March 22, 2003.
