Staff Scheduling with Particle Swarm Optimisation and Evolution Strategies

The current paper uses a scenario from logistics to show that modern heuristics, and in particular particle swarm optimization (PSO) can significantly add to the improvement of staff scheduling in practice. Rapid, sub-daily planning, which is the focus of our research offers considerable productivity reserves for companies but also creates complex challenges for the planning software.
