Optimization problems are typically addressed by purely automatic approaches. For multi-objective problems, however, a single best solution often does not exist. In this case, it ...
In this paper we investigate and compare multi-objective and weighted single objective approaches to a real world workforce scheduling problem. For this difficult problem we consid...

We describe a simple iterative method for proving a variety of results in combinatorial optimization. It is inspired by Jain’s iterative rounding method (FOCS 1998) for designing...
We have developed a new algorithm and software for graph coloring by systematically combining several algorithm and software development ideas that had crucial impact on the algor...
Work allocation planning is a vital and notoriously difficult task in areas characterised by large work forces, contiguous and sometimes overlapping shifts, regulatory and corpora...
