Welcome to the 2009 TAC-SCM Procurement Challenge (“SCM-PC”) Website. This Challenge requires trading agents to balance both long-term and one-off procurement contracts as they try to maximize profits and meet stochastic customer demand.

As with the baseline game, participating in the competition does not require teams to be physically present. Instead, you can remotely connect to the challenge servers, which are hosted by the e-Supply Chain Management Lab at Carnegie Mellon University (Pittsburgh). You are however encouraged to try and send a representative to the site of the competition, as it provides a unique opportunity to meet with other members of the TAC-SCM research community, exchange ideas, meet old friends and make new ones. The following is the latest release of the software developed to run the challenge. It consists of the AgentWare API and the SCM-PC server, which you can download from this page. An SCM-PC User’s Guide and the SCM-PC AgentWare’s JavaDocs are also made available through this page. We strongly encourage you to test drive our software and to email us any questions or comments you may have. While we’ve carefully tested our code, we rely on the TAC-SCM community to identify and report potential problems (whether with the software or the model itself) so they can be fixed well ahead of the tournament.
