GRASPing Examination Board Assignments for University-Entrance Exams

“…It shares with this family of problems objective functions and constraints, for example, coverage constraints, which are among the most important soft constraints [4]. However, it is not a typical problem from this family: we do not need to schedule shifts or days off, there is no single workplace (as in nurse rostering), all "tasks" in our problem demand "specific skills" and despite having groups of employees, these have individual profiles.…”

“…The problem above is related to personnel scheduling problems [3], [4]. It shares with this family of problems objective functions and constraints, for example, coverage constraints, which are among the most important soft constraints [4].…”

The Human Resources Assignment with Multiple Sites Problem

“…Equation (14): Respects the maximum number of working week-ends per employee. Equation (15): Assure that employee must not work in two different sites in the same day: the decision variables ij x that design if a task i that belong to a given site in a given day is assigned to employee j, can take the value 1 only if all the other variables that belong to the remaining sites in the same day are equal to 0.…”

“…In recent review (2013) of the personnel scheduling problem [14], authors have encouraged to consider multiple locations in the future as few previous work researches have approached this kind of problem before.…”

Dynamic Programming with Approximation Function for Nurse Scheduling

“…The nurse scheduling problem is a complex combinatorial optimization problem that consists in assigning shifts to nurses in each day of a given planning period (usually a number of weeks). This problem has been investigated to a considerable extent and many algorithms have been proposed to solve it [3]. Constructing high-quality schedules for their nurses are crucial for many hospitals because minimizing salary costs and maximizing the overall satisfaction of nurses with their working patterns are key aims.…”
