Hosting best-known solutions of benchmark instances #2

Hi all, just came across this library by coincidence. Great to see this effort to make a benchmark repository! I'm working on flexible job shop scheduling problems and flow shop problems for my own research.

One major difficulty I have is that most papers/repositories don't store their solutions but only report the best-found value. This makes it hard to verify their results. In vehicle routing, we have e.g., CVRPLIB which maintains the best-known solutions for CVRP and VRPTW. We also try to do that for prize-collecting VRP here.

Are there any plans from your side to host the best-known solutions? Happy to contribute as well.

Hi, thanks for reaching out! We are definitely considering this, as it would also be a very natural step forward for this project. I would like to hear your thoughts on this - I will reach out to you via email.

Best, Robbert
