[DMANET] Holiday competition by Kaggle and FICO

Dear colleagues,

For the second time in a row, FICO is sponsoring Kaggle's Holiday
Competition:
https://www.kaggle.com/c/santas-stolen-sleigh/

There are prices in three categories and you can win up to $20000.

This is an opportunity for OR practitioners to compete with data
scientists on an unusual and difficult vehicle routing problem.

Researchers, professionals and students are invited to participate. You
are free to use the tools of your choice; there is a special prize for
submissions using the FICO Xpress Optimization Suite.
