Get involved in a great challenge by solving a scheduling problem (permutation flow-shop scheduling) in a live GRID during the event!

There are 3 prices to win!

We would like to invite you to make a place in your schedule for a competitive challenge focused on Scheduling (permutation flow-shop scheduling), this meaning being one of the participants of the
programming contest organized by ETSI and INRIA at Sophia Antipolis France (French Riviera) on 10-14 October 2005. The goal
of this contest is focused on solving exactly defined benchmarks for

permutation flow-shop scheduling problems.

The contest represents a good opportunity for all young students and

researchers passionate of high performance computing using grid approaches, applied to a scheduling problem.
