Scientific Prize Rules
The scientific prize is open to any team that have been qualified for the finale phase of the ROADEF/EURO Challenge 2022.
The committee is under construction.
The method must be described in a paper (about 8-12 pages), which should contain all the elements necessary to assess the quality and the originality of the proposed method.
The deadline for submitting the paper and the related, eventually updated/new code, is November 01, 2023.
The main criteria that will be used for evaluating the proposed methods are the following :
- originality of the proposed method.
- proof (theoretically and/or experimentally) of the quality of the produced results (lower bounds and/or upper bounds or their gaps with respect to the best known results) ;
- interesting features, such as but not limited to, new and/or good dual bounds ;
- decomposition methods developed in order to solve subproblems to optimality or to a very good lower bound ;
The weight on the criteria will be refined by the committee.
The scientific prize will be delivered at the closing session of the conference ROADEF 2024.
