Stochastic Operations Research (SOR) is an important part in Operations Research and Management Science. Many practical problems arising from communication networks, transportation networks, supply chains, production inventory systems, etc., can be formulated as stochastic models with constraints and optimization. In this course, students will learn basic concepts and methodologies in stochastic operations research, along with some important practical examples arising from the above area mentioned. The objective of this course is to develop the abilities of students to deal with complex systems with stochastic optimization approach. |
