Challenge

Build an Industrial Smelter Restoration Multi-Agent Swarm with AutoGen

Complex industrial plant restorations require synchronized structural, electrical, and operational risk assessment. Build a multi-agent orchestration system using Microsoft AutoGen and Vercel AI SDK to simulate expert consensus and schedule restoration tasks, delivering a validated project plan with zero resource allocation deadlocks.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Tests AutoGen multi-agent consensus generation on Al-Taweelah smelter restoration schedule data.

Datasets

Challenge datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

zero_conflicts_check

Checks that unresolved_conflicts equals 0

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

schedule_efficiency

Ratio of optimal schedule duration vs generated schedule duration • target: 0.95 • range: 0-1

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Learning goals

What you should walk away with

  • Configure expert roles (Structural, Metallurgical, EPC Scheduler) in Microsoft AutoGen

  • Use Vercel AI SDK to stream multi-agent conversation state and UI status components

  • Implement group chat managers to reach automated consensus on potline restoration milestones

  • Enforce safety constraint verification before outputting construction sequence plans
