In the context of manpower planning, goal programming (GP) is extremely useful for
generating shift duties of fixed length. A fixed-length duty consists of a fixed number of …

Hyper-heuristics are a domain-independent problem solving approach where the main task
is to select effective chains of problem-specific low-level heuristics on the fly for an unseen …

The problem of finding a high quality timetable for personnel in a hospital ward has been
addressed by many researchers, personnel managers, and schedulers over a number of …

In this paper, part-time and mixed-skilled workers scheduling problem have been modeled
in which workers' productivity is variable during a day. This paper considers fatigue as a …

Numerous benchmark sets exist for combinatorial optimization problems. However, in
healthcare scheduling, only a few benchmark sets are known, mainly focused on nurse …
