SYST 670 - Metaheuristics for Optimization

Credits: 3
Not Repeatable
Course on the theory and practice of metaheuristics, i.e. solution search techniques for solving combinatorial optimization problems. It will introduce the theory, applications (scheduling in manufacturing, transportation, and in other engineering and service industries), and computational aspects of directly searching for solutions to solve computationally complex optimization problems without a well-defined analytical model.

Equivalent to OR 670.

Prerequisite(s): OR 441/541 or permission of instructor.

Hours of Lecture or Seminar per week: 3
Hours of Lab or Studio per week: 0
When Offered: Spring
