Modeling, Optimization, Decision and Organization (MODO) - Master's Year 2

The second year of the Master's degree in Computer Science, specializing in Modeling, Optimization, Decision-Making, and Organization (MODO), aims to train specialists capable of mastering the concepts and tools related to decision support and operational research (ADRO), as well as the associated computer techniques. The program places particular emphasis on modeling, theoretical foundations, the development of methods and algorithms, and their integration within organizations.

Training objectives :

• Acquire a good knowledge of process modeling, concepts, algorithms, and software for optimization and decision support ;
• Be able to develop research questions and design solutions ;
• Be able to integrate decision support methods and tools within organizations.

The program offers a wide variety of courses to choose from based on students' interests and perspectives. While providing a common foundation of skills in ADRO, it aims to allow students who wish to do so to either specialize heavily in one option or to mix and match their choices between the different options. The three options offered cover different aspects of ADRO: Decision Making, Combinatorial Optimization and Organization.

• The Decision Making option focuses on decision support in its various aspects. It pays particular attention to the consideration of multiple criteria, uncertainty, algorithmic aspects, and modeling ;
• The Combinatorial Optimization option is dedicated to the study of the fundamental theoretical and applied aspects of combinatorial optimization (complexity theory, development of efficient algorithms, graph theory, combinatorial optimization models, etc.).
