Glad it's Friday already...and the course ended at 12.30 pm and we are currently waiting for our private hire to go back to Nottingham. Since the ID is still working, I'm taking the opportunity to write something in this blog.
What did I gain from this course? Well, I gained a lot on the methods frequently being used to tackle combinatorial problems. The recent one being branch-and-price. He was comparing it against branch-and-cut. The difference is that branch-and-price is adding variables while branch-and-cut is adding constraints. Whatever it is, I don't think I'll be using the methods as we are more on heuristics and certainly I'll be using the metaheuristics methods to tackle my problem.
I'm still worried about being able to produce my full paper which will be due on Nov 1st, 2008. I'm planning to do the experiment using ILOG OPL and hopefully I'll get a reasonable result to be included in the full paper that will be due sooooooonnnnn....
The cab is almost here already...
