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...

Dynamic Constraint Weighting for Over-Constrained Problems
Many real-world constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) can be over-constrained but contain a set of mandatory or hard constraints that have to be satisfied for a solution to be ac...
