In order to build a bridge for exchanges and cooperation, discover outstanding talents, stimulate innovative thinking, and solve practical problems, the first "Liaohe Cup" data-driven complex system optimization algorithm competition is grandly launched, and elites from all walks of life are sincerely invited to participate and participate in this grand event.
As of July 1, 2025, 55 teams have signed up for track one (dynamic scheduling problem of flexible flow workshop), and 86 teams have signed up for track two (vehicle path planning problem with time window).A total of 141 teams have signed up to compete.
Teams participating in Track 2 are also requested to fill in the questionnaire below and submit the output results.
01 · Competition introduction
The first "Liaohe Cup" data-driven complex system optimization algorithm competition"Build a communication platform, discover outstanding talents, stimulate innovative thinking, and solve real problems"As the core concept, we are committed to promoting the cutting-edge development of data-driven complex system optimization.
Settings for this competitionWorkshop dynamic scheduling problemandpath planning problemTwo tracks. The preliminary competition will conduct online platform evaluation, and the two tracks will use Zhongke Yunyi intelligent production scheduling platform and Xide solver for online evaluation respectively; the final will set up an on-site defense session, and expert consultants will conduct a comprehensive review of the completeness, professionalism and innovation of the plan. The winner will receive an authoritative certificate issued by the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society and win generous bonuses, with the grand prize being as high as 50,000 yuan.
As of July 1, 2025, 55 teams have signed up for track one (dynamic scheduling problem of flexible flow workshop), and 86 teams have signed up for track two (vehicle path planning problem with time window).A total of 141 teams have signed up to compete.
The competition is open to undergraduates, graduate students, teachers from domestic and foreign universities, as well as professionals from enterprises and scientific research institutes.Registration for the competition will close on July 15, 2025, and more scholars are welcome to register and participate.

2. Initial screening results evaluation rules (sorted by priority):
-
compareTotal number of vehicles, the team with the fewest vehicles will be given priority;
-
When the total number of vehicles is the same, comparetotal distance traveled. Teams with shorter distances are given priority;
-
When the total distance traveled is the same, compareTotal travel time. Teams with short time will be given priority.
The organizing committee will rank each instance individually. The final ranking is made after averaging the rankings of all instances.
