Bayesian Optimisation Algorithm for Nurse Scheduling
: Our research has shown that schedules can be built mimicking a human scheduler by using a set of rules that involve domain knowledge. This chapter presents a Bayesian Optimizatio...

Explicit Learning: an Effort towards Human Scheduling Algorithms
Scheduling problems are generally NP-hard combinatorial problems, and a lot of research has been done to solve these problems heuristically. However, most of the previous approach...
