MISTA

In the context of the 6th Multidisciplinary International Scheduling Conference (MISTA 2013), the CODeS research group at KU Leuven is organizing a challenge with the goal of stimulating research in scheduling. The challenge deals with the multi-mode resource-constrained multi-project scheduling problem (MRCMPSP) in which multiple projects have to be scheduled, while taking into account the availability of local and global resources.

 For more information, please refer to the detailed description of the problem. The competition is divided into two phases. In the qualification phase, teams can register and submit solutions for a first set of instances. In the second phase, all qualified teams will be able to finetune their algorithm using a second set of instances. Some time before the start of the conference all qualified teams are required to submit their final algorithms which will then be evaluated by the organisers to determine the winner. The winners of the MISTA 2013 challenge will be announced at the MISTA conference to be held at Gent, Belgium (27-30 Aug 2013).
