A flexible mixed integer programming-based system for real-world nurse rostering
Researchers have studied the nurse rostering problem for multiple decades. Initially, the formulations were rather primitive including only a few...

Quantifying and enforcing robustness in staff rostering
Employee absences are inevitable in practice due to illness, heavy workloads or accidents. These unforeseen events result in the disruption of...

Preference-based and cyclic bus driver rostering problem with fixed days off
Given a set of predefined duties and groups of drivers, the duty assignment problem with group-based driver preferences (DAPGDP) aims at building...

The extended roster quality staffing problem: addressing roster quality variation within a staffing planning period
Staffing and rostering are two interdependent optimization problems related to personnel planning. Where staffing concerns an organization’s...

A Comparison of Fairness Metrics for Health Care Problems
Fairness and balancing-related metrics can be modelled in several ways, and no single definition of fairness is universally accepted. From the...

A network flow-based algorithm for bus driver rerostering
Bus driver rostering generates the work plan for a pool of drivers during a planning period of predefined length. This plan, called the roster, must...
