Transcript
Learning outcomes
- Explain what technology-assisted decision-making is, and what it is used for.
- Model a specific decision-making problem as a graph theory problem.
- Apply a simple procedure to solve a decision-making problem, using Kruskal’s algorithm.

Syllabus
This online course will introduce you to the fundamental concepts of technology-assisted decision-making and its diverse applications in resource allocation, production planning, transportation, scheduling, and network optimisation. You will learn to formulate optimisation problems as mathematical models and apply diverse techniques for their resolution using specialised software. You’ll learn to apply powerful techniques such as linear programming and optimisation algorithms on graphs, gaining practical skills for real-world problem-solving.
