The course will, through presentation of actual
working cases and project work, enable the student to produce and/or
appropriately use software tools for the support to complex decisions
(mainly at the corporate/industrial level), in particular those based on
mathematical optimization techniques. The course is focused on practical
aspects of these tools (modeling languages and systems, solvers and
interfaces, algorithmic parameters, ...) and has a strong project aspect
in order to familiarize the students, in particular, with the specific
computer science aspects of these activities. However, since these tools
are based on complex algorithmic schemes and rigorously defined
mathematical properties, it is at the same time necessary to provide the
students with appropriate consciousness of these foundational aspects,
in particular whenever this is necessary to better understand their use
or design more efficient and effective approaches; a particularly
relevant case is that of handling the issue of uncertainty in the data
of the problem.
