A Hybrid Evolutionary Approach to the Nurse Rostering Problem
Nurse rostering is a difficult search problem with many constraints. In the literature, a number of approaches have been investigated including penalty function methods to tackle t...

Bayesian Optimisation Algorithm for Nurse Scheduling
: Our research has shown that schedules can be built mimicking a human scheduler by using a set of rules that involve domain knowledge. This chapter presents a Bayesian Optimizatio...

An Indirect Genetic Algorithm for Set Covering Problems
This paper presents a new type of genetic algorithm for the set covering problem. It differs from previous evolutionary approaches first because it is an indirect algorithm, i.e. ...
