Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Overall objective: to learn "hands-on" how to implement optimization algorithms in C#.
The course covers following topics:
* Get familiar with Microsoft Visual Studio
* Basic and advanced concepts of the C# programming language (data types and operators, methods, classes, loops, input and output with files, arrays)
* Methodological knowledge for developing algorithms and their translation into C# (a step by step approach to select suitable data and program structures)
* Implementation of Constructive Methods and Improvement Methods for the Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP) and the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP)

Assessment and permitted materials

* [30%] Homework: Programming Exercises
* [30%] Mid-Term Project
* [40%] End-Term Project
The homework programming exercises have to be done in groups of 2 - 3 people. They have to be uploaded in Moodle until latest Tuesday 23:59 o'clock prior to the next class.
Attempts of cheating by groups (e.g., uploading code which was partly not written by themselves) or single students (e.g., no contribution to the exercise) might be penalized by deducting up to twice as many points as the exercise is worth. In severe cases, cheating (copying code) may even lead to failing the course and an entry of “X” in the record of exams.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

In order to obtain a positive grade on the course, at least 50% of the overall points have to be achieved, and at least one out of 2 projects has to be positive (> 50%). The other grades are distributed as follows:
1: 87% to 100%
2: 75% to <87%
3: 63% to <75%
4: 50% to <63%

Examination topics

* Basic and advanced concepts of the C# programming language (data types and operators, methods, classes, loops, input and output with files, arrays).
* Implementation of optimization methods for various problems that arise in production and logistics.
