Annotation
The goal is to show the algorithms for several combinatorial optimization problems. Following the subject on algorithms, we show optimisation techniques based on graphs, integer linear programming, heuristics, approximation algorithms and state space search methods. We focus on application of optimization in stores, ground transport, flight transport, logistics, planning of human resources, scheduling in production lines, message routing, scheduling in parallel computers.
