Welcome to the Wiki of the course '''Efficient Route Planning''' in the summer term 2011

The course is given by Prof. Dr. Hannah Bast and takes place every Friday from 2:15pm until about 3:45pm, in room 00-026 (µ-Saal) in building 101. The first lecture is on Friday, May 6 and the last lecture is on Friday, August 5. There will be no lecture on the following dates: Friday, May 27 (FAM-workshop) and Friday, June 17 (pentecost holidays). That is 12 lectures altogether.

The teaching assistant for this course is Mirko Brodesser (brodessm@informatik.uni-freiburg.de). The responsibles for the supporting systems (Daphne, SVN, Forum, Jenkins) are Jens Hoffmann (hoffmaje@informatik.uni-freiburg.de) and Axel Lehmann (lehmanna@informatik.uni-freiburg.de).
