In this course, students are taught approaches to solve general optimization problems, with a special focus on nature-inspired approaches (e.g., genetic algorithms or particle swarm optimizers). The main focus is on a practical application of these techniques to realistic engineering problems. The lecture is complemented by a practical project in which students implement an optimizer using a modern optimization framework.

-Formal view of general optimization problems

-Classification of optimization approaches

-Functionality of the most popular frameworks for metaheuristic optimization
