Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering 2012 Departmental Postgraduate Conference

Keynotes Dr. James Smithies: Building the Canterbury Earthquakes Digital Archive Senior Lecturer in Digital Humanities, University of Canterbury Dr. Ray Hidayat: Interesting Algorithms in Telogis Route Telogis Route is full of complex algorithms. When planning driver territories, how can we estimate the required driving time quickly? When optimising routes, how can we discourage routes from overlapping where possible? When distributing work to a server farm, how can we find the optimal assignment of jobs to servers? Every level of Telogis Route involves some interesting challenges. This talk will give you a peek into some of these challenges and the algorithms used to solve them. Ray Hidayat graduated with his PhD from the University of Canterbury in 2010, and has since been working for Telogis forging advancements in route optimisation algorithms for Telogis Route, Telogis’ SaaS route planning application. Ray's interests lie in optimisation, machine learning and parallel processing.
