Important results from the project
The aim, to perform studies of data from real projects in order to analyze and improve our optimization algorithms, have been well met. We now have a better toolbox that will be used for many years.
Expected long term effects
The technological impact we have achieved through our studies and experiments have been mixed, in some cases we have achieved amazing results; in some other very small effects. However, this is exactly what is excpected when dealing with the kind of very har and irregular optimization problems as we do.
Approach and implementation
The implementation has involved a collaboration between three organizations, Trade Extensions, SICS and Uppsala University. It has consisted of technical discussions, planning and execution of experiments, and analysis of the results. Through an informal approach and use of modern communications technology, we have had a successful cooperation.
