A simple evolutionary algorithm with self-adaptation for multi-objective nurse scheduling (2008)
Book Chapter

We present a multi-objective approach to tackle a real-world nurse scheduling problem using an evolutionary algorithm. The aim is to generate a few good quality non-dominated schedules so that the decision-maker can select the most appropriate one. O...
