Combinatorial Optimization at Work II

took place at Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB) from September 21 to October 9, 2009.

See the detailed program.

The block course was organized by TU Berlin in cooperation with Matheon, Berlin Mathematical School, MASCOS, and MITACS.
This block course targeted master students (in their final year), Ph.D students, and Post-docs interested in the use of combinatorial optimization and mathematical programming in concrete applications from practise.

This course is part of the on-going project CO@Work.

On three occasions the course has been taught before:

• Berlin 2005
  From October 4-15 more than 100 students out of 10 countries participated in the course held at the Zuse Institute Berlin.
• Görlitz 2006
  From September 3-15 parts of the course where discussed during the Görlitz sommer school of the German National Academic Foundation.
• Beijing 2006
From September 25 to October 6 more than 40 students from all over China attended the course as part of the Workshop Optimization Methods and Applications at the Morningside Center of Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
