Competencies / intended learning achievements

Mit erfolgreichem Abschluss des Moduls werden die Studierenden in der Lage sein,
  • einzuschätzen, von welchem heuristischen Verfahren das jeweilige Problem gelöst werden kann.
  • zu bewerten, wie diese Verfahren im Anwendungskontext der Modellierung und zur Lösung von Logistikproblemen eingesetzt werden können.
  • zu evaluieren, wie sich naturanaloge Suchverfahren und maschinelles Lernen einsetzten lassen.
  • zu unterscheiden, welche Problemstellungen nicht mehr mit exakten Verfahren gelöst werden können, da sie eine mit der Problemgröße exponentiell anwachsende Zahl von Handlungsalternativen aufweisen.
