lecture [Z_001]
The lectures have a form of slides presentations.
 15
The students study the lecture notes and compulsory and supplementary literature.
 15 Solving decision problems. [W_001]
laboratory classes [Z_002]
The lecturer presents and discusses examples of decision support systems implemented in Genie, QGenie and KNIME. The students independently develop the systems showed by the teacher. They implement two decision support systems on the Genie/SMILE and KNIME toolkits.
