Staff Rostering algorithms

algorithm, rostering, scheduling

Solution

Here is a useful document:

Memetic Algorithms for Nurse Rostering (pdf)

It contains a little bit of theory and pseudo-code.

Scheduling problem is NP-hard and usually being solved using genetic algorithms (GA). You can start learning GA from Wikipedia article

Problem

We are embarking on some R&D for a staff rostering system, and I know that there are some suggested algorithms such as the memetic algorithm etc., but I cannot find any additional information on the web. Does anyone know any research journals, or pseudocode out there which better explains these algorithms? Thanks, Devan
