The network brings together researchers working on randomized optimization algorithms and promotes shared foundations, tools, and standards across metaheuristics and evolutionary computation.</p> <p>Luca Di Gaspero served as <strong>Leader of Working Group 1 — Problem Modelling and User Experience</strong> 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.</p>
