74972 - Decision Support Systems

Academic Year 2014/2015

  • Teaching Mode: In-person learning (entirely or partially)
  • Campus: Cesena
  • Corso: Second cycle degree programme (LM) in Computer Science and Engineering (cod. 8614)

Learning outcomes

(This is not identical to its Italian counterpart because for some reason I cannot edit the Italian version. Anyway, here is the course content) 
The course proposes methodological (metaheuristic), modellistic (GIS) and architectural (MVC, multiplatform mobile interfaces ) elements which together permit to develop market-level DSS solutions.  
 In particular, the course will provide:  
- competence in analysis, design and development, this will permit to extend the level of support provided by an ERP. 
- basic architectural elements which permit to access the solution from diverse platforms (desktop, web, mobile). 
- practical skills, we will implement together some modules, working on real-world data.

Readings/Bibliography

Lecture slides.

Teaching methods

'll teach in the lab as much as I will be allowed to, in order to ensure hands-on experience of the proposed methods.
All algorithms will be coded in c++.

Assessment methods

Individual project

Teaching tools

Slides and lecture notes. Will be downloadable before the corresponding lesson.
