This paper presents a review of the literature on personnel scheduling problems. Firstly, we
discuss the classification methods in former review papers. Secondly, we evaluate the …

Organizations need to focus on many parameters to reach their goals such as personnel
satisfaction at the top level, profit maximization, increasing system efficiency and minimizing …

The constrained shortest path (CSP) is a well known NP-Hard problem. Besides from its
straightforward application as a network problem, the CSP is also used as a building block …

The convergence of a column generation algorithm can be improved in practice by using
stabilization techniques. Smoothing and proximal methods based on penalizing the …

This paper presents the results of developing a branch and price algorithm and an ejection
chain method for nurse rostering problems. The approach is general enough to be able to …

Markov chains are a well known tool to model temporal properties of many phenomena,
from text structure to fluctuations in economics. Because they are easy to generate …

The merge-and-shrink framework has been introduced as a general approach for defining
abstractions of large state spaces arising in domain-independent planning and related …

We consider two approaches for solving the classical minimum vertex coloring problem—
that is, the problem of coloring the vertices of a graph so that adjacent vertices have different …

Sustainable engineering is very important for logistics systems. Nowadays, sustainable
warehouse management is a key factor in market success. Workforce fluctuation and …
