Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course aims to facilitate the participants to develop the skills necessary in order to write a scientific paper in the field of business analytics. This includes gaining expertise about current topics as well as the ability to conduct required steps such as a literature review, choosing appropriate structure and layout and citing scientific references correctly.

In particular, this seminar will focus on "Scheduling ". We will discuss some basic models and recent approaches to scheduling using research articles.

Students will work in small groups (2-3 students) on a seminar topic. There will be a list of topics related to scheduling like project scheduling, scheduling in railways, robustness in planning, and green objectives for which the students can give their preferences. Topics are then assigned considering the overall preferences.

Students will write a seminar paper, present as well as discuss their work in class. In addition, home assignments will cover the modelling of problem and implementation of solution methods.
