ROAR-NET — Randomised Optimisation Algorithms Research Network

ROAR-NET — Randomised Optimisation Algorithms Research Network is the European COST Action CA22137, running from 2023 to 2027. The network brings together researchers working on randomized optimization algorithms and promotes shared foundations, tools, and standards across metaheuristics and evolutionary computation.

Luca Di Gaspero served as Leader of Working Group 1 — Problem Modelling and User Experience until 31 March 2026. In this role, he coordinated work on foundational modelling tools and the ROAR-NET API, a shared specification for representing optimization problems and interfacing them with randomized optimization engines. He continues to contribute as a member of the API supervisory committee.
