Lecture 1: Intelligence for optimization - Loe Feijs

Intelligence for optimization. There exists algorithms for solving a class of problems called "combinatorial optimization". Typical examples are finding the shortest path in a network (packet routing), finding a tour along cities (delivery service) or finding an optimal path along graph edges (3D printing).

Loe Feijs will illustrate the famous traveling salesman problem showing an interactive and intelligent G-code generator project for shoe soles (joint work with Troy Nachtigall). Another illustration is the optimal computerized embroidery path for the Pied de Pulse project (joint work with Marina Toeters).

Lecture 6: Supporting the design of intelligent systems with OOCSI - Mathias Funk

Designing intelligent products nowadays often means designing intelligent systems, or simply designing systems that act in smart ways for the purpose of improving the quality of life for stakeholders. System design is neither easy, nor well-understood as it happens in a multi-disciplinary design space that borders interaction design, complex adaptive systems, and engineering distributed systems. In this lecture/week we will look at the challenges, important values and tools for system design. We will use OOCSI and its system-level building blocks to design systems in a hands-on way; this will be done in a short group project.
