The ROADEF/EURO Challenge was be announced at the EURO 2025 conference in Leeds, UK.
Find all information regarding rules, organization, and the roadmap (Sprint, Qualification, and Final phases) at https://roadef.org/challenge/
This year's edition, titled "Keep the Flow!", focuses on the optimization problem of T-Adaptive Segment Routing (T-ASR). Proposed by Orange Research, the challenge invites participants to design efficient optimization algorithms for routing in large-scale telecommunication networks, taking into account scheduled maintenance interventions and reconfiguration budgets.
Watch the official teaser for a quick overview of the problem:
Key resources already available:
* Detailed subject description:full technical specifications.
* Initial dataset (Set A, for the sprint phase): to begin testing your algorithms.
* Solution checker: a C++20 tool to validate your results.
* Networktools Library: A fast header-only C++20 library for modeling and solving network optimization problems.
