TCOM 540 - Telecommunications Network Optimization:Routing,Flow Management,and Capacity Modeling

Institution:

George Mason University

Subject:

Description:

Credits: 1.5 Provides state-of-the-art knowledge and techniques to apply operations research knowledge to optimal dimensioning, design and use of telecommunication networks. Includes review of traffic models in telecommunication networks including models for particular streams and multiplexing, as well as multirate and multihour models. Theory, algorithms and computational aspects of linear, network, and integer programming; formulation of telecommunication problems as optimization models, and review of solution strategies. Topics include maximum flow, shortest paths, minimum cost flows; data structure for trees and graphs; applications, modeling, theory and algorithms for optimal location of service facilities (concentrators, multiplexers) in telecommunication networks.
