Projects Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization
Research group: Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization (PNA1)
Many real-world applications are complex and distributed in nature and involve a multitude of interacting decision makers that attempt to achieve their own goals. A typical example are network applications arising in large-scale distributed information and communication systems such as the Internet. Other examples deal with problems concerned...
Project code: Spinoza
Research group: Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization (PNA1)
The Spinoza project focuses on strengthening the application of methods from pure mathematics (in particular algebra, geometry, and topology) in modern and applied areas like combinatorics, optimization, and algorithmics. The project also aims at popularization of mathematics with the goal to...
Project code: DIAMANT
Research group: Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization (PNA1)
DIAMANT is a mathematics cluster in Netherlands recently funded by NWO, OCW and EZ. This is an joint initiative of several institutes in the Netherlands: CWI Amsterdam, Radbout Universiteit Nijmegen, Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, Universiteit Leiden, Universiteit Utrecht, Rijksuniversiteit Groningen. The objective...
Project code: BRICKS-is3-PNA1
Research group: Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization (PNA1)
This project is part of the BRICKS-IS3 research consortium.
In several sectors of society, we are faced with problems that can be modelled as problems on networks. Examples are: routing of trains in station areas, design of telecommunication networks, design of wireless networks, scheduling of...
Project code: BRICKS-afm2.1-ACMB
Research group (till 31-12-2008): Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization (PNA1)In this project we researched the applications of algorithms and combinatorial methods to problems inspired/dictated by (computational) biology.
The increasing use of computational methods in biology has led to an explosion in biological data. Naive algorithms to process such data are...
