Abstract

In this paper, a Harmony Search Algorithm (HSA) is adapted for Nurse Rostering Problem (NRP). HSA is a global optimization method derived from a musical improvisation process which has been successfully tailored for several optimization domains. NRP is a hard combinatorial scheduling problem of assigning given shifts to given nurses. Using a dataset established by International Nurse Rostering Competition 2010 of sprint dataset that has 10-early, 10-late, 10-hidden, and 3-hint. The proposed method achieved competitively comparable results. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
