Christofer Larsson is a consultant in network design and optimization. He received his master of science in Engineering Physics from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, and has over two decades in telecommunications as network designer at Ericsson, software architect for consultancy firms and system tester for service providers.
- A toolbox of algorithms: The book provides practical advice on implementing algorithms, including the programming aspects of combinatorial algorithms.
- Extensive solved problems and illustrations: Wherever possible, different solution methods are applied to the same examples to compare performance and verify precision and applicability.
- Technology-independent: Solutions are applicable to a wide range of network design problems without relying on particular technologies.
