Overview
This unit introduces the fundamentals of modelling for discrete optimisation, focusing on how to rigorously express a discrete optimisation problem in a manner that can be solved. Some topics covered will include decision variables, basic constraints, modelling with sets, modelling with functions, multiple modelling viewpoints, debugging discrete optimisation models as well as the fundamental algorithms for solving discrete optimization problems.
Offerings in 2021
The 2021 handbook lists no offerings for ITO5216.
Learning outcomes
When you finish this unit, you should be able to:
- 1
model a discrete optimisation problem using a mix of basic and more advanced modelling techniques in a high level modelling language;
- 2
interpret and explain models written by others;
- 3
explain how models are mapped to solver-level input;
- 4
identify and fix errors in models;
- 5
evaluate the limitations, appropriateness and benefits of different modelling patterns for common problem classes;
- 6
evaluate and improve the efficiency of models by applying different model transformations.
