abstract: Iterated race is an extension of the Iterated F-race method for the automatic
  configuration of optimization algorithms, that is, (offline) tuning their parameters
  by finding the most appropriate settings given a set of instances of an optimization
  problem. M. López-Ibáñez, J. Dubois-Lacoste, L. Pérez Cáceres, T. Stützle, and M.
  Birattari (2016) <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.orp.2016.09.002>.
