4.00 ECTS (2.00 SWS), SPL 4 - Wirtschaftswissenschaften
Continuous assessment of course work
REMOTE

It is now split into two parts: Implementation of Optimization Techniques Part 1 (4 ECTS) and Implementation of Optimization Techniques Part 2 (4 ECTS). Hence, both courses are compulsory for students of Business Administration doing their Major in Smart Production and Supply Chain Management (as an equivalent to the old 8 ECTS course).

For students of International Business Administration and students of Business Administration who are NOT doing their Major in Smart Production and Supply Chain Management, this course can be chosen as elective course.

In general, there is no prior knowledge necessary to attend this course. However, it is suggested to complete the Introductory Phase of the Curriculum prior to visiting this course. Furthermore, having a basic knowledge of a programming language and/or algorithmic thinking is an advantage. For students who want to prepare for this course we recommend the following courses and resources:
* UK Special Topics in Production/Logistics/SCM: Softwaretools in Decision Support

The course is particularly recommended to students, who want to write their thesis in the field Smart Production and Supply Chain Management

If students do not complete Part 1 successfully, those will be de-registered by the system for Part 2.

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 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)
* Simple to slightly advanced programs, including the Nearest Neighbor Algorithm for the TSP

Assessment and permitted materials

* [80%] There will be a handwritten exam at the end of the semester.
* [20%] Midterm quiz

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

To obtain a positive grade on the course, more than 50% of the overall points have to be achieved.
The other grades are distributed as follows:
1: >87% to 100%
2: >75% to <87.5%
3: >63% to <75%
4: >50% to <62.5%

Examination topics

* Basic concepts of the C# programming language (data types and operators, methods, classes, loops, input and output with files, arrays)
* Implementation of programs that make use of the mentioned concepts of C#
