Since its first release in 1992, MIPLIB has become a standard test set
used to compare the performance of mixed integer linear optimization
software and to evaluate the computational performance of newly
developed algorithms and solution techniques. It has been a crucial
driver for the impressive progress we have seen over the last decades.
Six years have passed since the last update in 2010. Again, the progress
in state-of-the-art optimizers and improvements in computing machinery
have made several instances too easy to be of further interest. New
challenges are needed!
MIPLIB2017 will be the sixth edition of the Mixed Integer Programming
LIBrary. To continue the diversity and quality standards of the previous
editions, we are looking for interesting and challenging (mixed-)integer
linear problems from all fields of Operations Research and Combinatorial
Optimization, ideally ones which have been built to model real-world
problems.
For the first time, we will also collect model files and data and make
them available as supplement to the raw instance format. Though this is
an optional add-on, we highly encourage model submissions in order to
provide researchers with richer information on the instances.
You can contribute now and help shape the future of mixed integer
programming by submitting your instances at
https://miplibsubmissions.zib.de/
The submission deadline is
February 28, 2017
We are looking forward to your contributions!
Thanks and best regards,
