Harmony Search with Greedy Shuffle for Nurse Rostering
In this paper, a hybridization of Harmony Search Algorithm (HSA) with a greedy shuffle move is proposed for Nurse Rostering Problem (NRP). NRP is a combinatorial optimization problem that is tackled by assigning a set of nurses with different skills and contracts to different types of shifts, over a pre-determined scheduling period. HSA is a population-based method which mimics the improvisatio...
متن کاملA harmony search algorithm for nurse rostering problems
Harmony Search Algorithm (HSA) is a relatively new nature-inspired algorithm. It evolves solutions in the problem search space by mimicking the musical improvisation process in seeking agreeable harmony measured by aesthetic standards. The Nurse Rostering Problem (NRP) is a well-known NP-hard scheduling problem that aims at allocating the required workload to the available staff nurses at healt...
متن کاملA Harmony Search with Adaptive Pitch Adjustment for Continuous Optimization
The Harmony Search is a relatively new meta-heuristic algorithm for continuous optimization, in which its concept imitates the process of music improvisation. This paper proposes an improved harmony search algorithm called Harmony Search with Adaptive Pitch Adjustment (HSAPA). The adaptive pitch adjustment scheme during a search period is inspired from the velocity clamping in particle swarm op...
متن کاملAdaptive neighborhood search for nurse rostering
This paper presents an adaptive neighborhood search method (ANS) forsolving the nurse rostering problem proposed for the First InternationalNurse Rostering Competition (INRC-2010). ANS uses jointly two distinctneighborhood moves and adaptively switches among three intensificationand diversification search strategies according to the search history. Com-putational results ass...
متن کاملVariable Neighbourhood Search for Nurse Rostering Problems
Nurse rostering problems consist of assigning varying tasks, represented as shift types, to hospital personnel with different skills and work regulations. We want to satisfy as many constraints and personal preferences as possible while constructing a schedule which meets the personnel requirements of the hospital over a predefined planning period. Real world situations are often so constrained...
