How can algorithm complexity principles be applied to solve real-world problems? This intriguing question was explored by students in the Software Engineering program at the Department of Software Engineering and Automation (DISA), within the Faculty of Computers, Informatics, and Microelectronics (FCIM) at the Technical University of Moldova (UTM).
Second-year students from DISA-FCIM-UTM participated in a special lecture as part of the “Algorithm Analysis” course, featuring guest speaker Alexandr Stetsenco, Director of Engineering at Alvys Moldova. He provided a practical perspective on algorithm complexity and its significance in developing software solutions used in the industry.
Key topics covered included:
- Classification of problems and algorithms: Real-world examples from Software Engineering illustrated how complexity influences design decisions.
- Optimization techniques: Efficient optimization methods commonly used in production environments were presented, equipping students with valuable tools for their future projects.
- Efficient algorithm design: Students received essential recommendations on developing high-performance and scalable algorithms.
This lecture demonstrated how theoretical concepts can be applied in practical projects, emphasizing the importance of algorithmic choices in determining system performance. The collaboration between academia and industry plays a crucial role in shaping the next generation of software engineers, providing them with hands-on experience and valuable industry insights.
