Courses

CWI highly values education. CWI researchers not only supervise and inspire the CWI PhD students, but also aim at contributing to teaching Master's students at universities. See the overview of CWI's current involvement in teaching courses in the Netherlands below.

Contribution to education

CWI is a research institute and does not have education as an institutional task. However, many of the senior researchers of CWI contribute to education via an affiliation or part-time appointment at one of the Dutch universities. CWI conveys the knowledge of the scientists employed at our institute to the new generation of mathematics and computer science students. Our staff contributes by e.g. teaching a university course or supervising MSc thesis projects carried out by university students. They also supervise PhD students at CWI, who defend their thesis at one of the Dutch universities after their employment at CWI. All courses can be found below in alphabetical order. You can also open the pdf for a complete overview.

Algorithmic Methods in Queueing Theory

This course focusses on algorithmic aspects of queueing theory, and builds on the basic queueing models treated in the Master course Queueing Theory.

Focus

The course starts by treating numerical methods to solve the steady-state and transient behavior of (finite state) Markov processes. Attention is also devoted to the construction of (error) bounds on the steady-state distribution. Then the course introduc
