Brief description of the topic:

The European Journal of Operational Research (EJOR) will publish a feature issue on the car sequencing problem proposed jointly by the RENAULT Company and the French Operations Research Society (ROADEF) in the context of the ROADEF Challenge 2005.

The ROADEF Challenge 2005 has involved 37 junior teams and 18 senior teams and was started on July 28, 2003. The final results were proclaimed during the annual ROADEF conference which was held on February 14-16, 2005 at Tours.

The particular car sequencing problem considered in the challenge aims at computing a sequence of vehicles under hard and soft constraints issued from both paint shop and assembly line requirements of a RENAULT factory. The problem was defined as a multiobjective optimization problem due to the presence of soft constraints. For more information on the ROADEF challenge 2005, including participants, winners, problem description and instance sets visit

http://www.prism.uvsq.fr/~vdc/ROADEF/CHALLENGES/2005/challenge2005_en. html

The special issue is open to all the participants to the ROADEF Challenge 2005 and also to every original theoretical and/or experimental contribution on this problem. In particular, any submission of interest out of the challenge scope (lower bounds, polyedral analysis, exact methods or heuristics involving commercial solvers, Pareto set approximation, goal programming) is encouraged. The results can also be presented with no restriction on computational times, software or hardware requirements.

All significant contributions are welcome, involving in particular integer linear programming, constraint programming, metaheuristics (tabu search, simulated annealing, scatter search) evolutionnary algorithms, multiobjective optimisation methods.

The issue will start with a paper written by the guest editors presenting the Car Sequencing Problem under consideration and making a synthesis of the challenge results.

The papers will undergo the standard EJOR referreeing process.

Deadline for submissions: November 28, 2005
