A constraint programming based column generation approach to nurse rostering problems
This paper presents our investigations on a hybrid constraint programming based column generation (CP-CG) approach to nurse rostering problems. We present a complete model to formulate all the complex real-world constraints in several benchmark nurse rostering problems. The hybrid CP-CG approach is featured with not only the effective relaxation and optimality reasoning of linear programming bu...
متن کاملA Constraint Programming and Hybrid Approach to Nurse Rostering Problems
This paper describes a decision support methodologies for nurse rostering problem in a modern hospital environment. In particular, it is very important to efficiently utilise time and effort, to evenly balance the workload among people and to attempt to satisfy personnel preference. We presented a complete model to formulate all the complex real-world constraints, solution approach and Hybrid a...
متن کاملA Hybrid Constraint Programming Approach for Nurse Rostering Problems
Due to the complexity of nurse rostering problems (NRPs), Constraint Programming (CP) approaches on their own have shown to be ineffective in solving these highly constrained problems. We investigate a two-stage hybrid CP approach on real world benchmark NRPs. In the first stage, a constraint satisfaction model is used to generate weekly rosters consist of high quality shift sequences satisfyin...
متن کاملA Constraint-directed Local Search Approach to Nurse Rostering Problems
In this paper, we investigate the hybridization of constraint programming and local search techniques within a large neighbourhood search scheme for solving highly constrained nurse rostering problems. As identified by the research, a crucial part of the large neighbourhood search is the selection of the fragment (neighbourhood, i.e. the set of variables), to be relaxed and re-optimized iterati...
متن کاملA Tensor-based Approach to Nurse Rostering
Hyper-heuristics are high level improvement search methodologies exploring space of heuristics [4]. According to [5], hyper-heuristics can be categorized in many ways. A hyper-heuristic either selects from a set of available low level heuristics or generates new heuristics from components of existing low level heuristics to solve a problem, leading to a distinction between selection and generat...
