A large neighbourhood search approach to the multi-activity shift scheduling problem
The challenge in shift scheduling lies in the construction of a set of work shifts, which are subject to specific regulations, in order to cover fluctuating staff demands. This pro...

Fast shortest path distance estimation in large networks
In this paper we study approximate landmark-based methods for point-to-point distance estimation in very large networks. These methods involve selecting a subset of nodes as landm...
