An algorithm selection approach for nurse rostering
Tommy Messelis, Patrick De Causmaecker · Lirias · 2011
In this paper, we investigate the possibility of building an algorithm portfolio solver for the practical real world combinatorial optimisation problem of nurse rostering. As a basis for this paper, we use the First International Nurse Rostering Competition 2010. A number of competitive algorithms are combined to form a super-algorithm that performs better than any of its components individually. This is shown through an experimental study.
