Course objectives
The lecture provides basic information about graphs and graph algorithms, used in the computer networks. Special emphasis is taken to present planning and scheduling as specific graph problems, as well as the load distribution problem in distributed systems.
Syllabus
  • Graph, directed and undirected graph, weighted graphs. Length in unweighted and weighted graph.
  • Subgraph, isomorphic graphs.
  • Trees, spanning tree. Networks and flows.
  • Graph searching. Shortest path (Dijkstra's algorithm). Spanning tree algorithms. Maximum-flow algorithms.
  • Planning and scheduling problems and their graph representation.
  • Project scheduling and critical path method.
  • Graph colouring and timetabling.
  • List scheduling, mapping heuristics, clustering.
  • Load balancing.
  • Switching and routing algorithms, GMS networks planning, peer to peer networks.
