Modelling and Optimization
The department "Modelling and Optimization" in the Institute of Information and Communication Technologies at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences focuses its activities on research and development of methods, algorithms and approaches to support the process of decision making, modeling and analysis of complex systems, and management of information resources in distributed systems and networks.
Scientists from the Department share their knowledge through teaching in a range of universities
Current activities of the department "Modelling and Optimization" are concentrated on research and development of optimization methods, algorithms and approaches, as well as of corresponding software products, realizing local and web-based optimization and decision support systems.
