Nurse rostering is a complex scheduling problem that affects hospital personnel on a daily basis all over the world. The need for quality software solutions is acute for a number of reasons. In particular, it is very important to efficiently utilise time and effort, to evenly balance the workload among people and to attempt to satisfy personnel preferences. A high quality roster can lead to a more contented and thus more effective workforce.In this review, we discuss nurse rostering within the global personnel scheduling problem in healthcare. We begin by briefly discussing the review and overview papers that have appeared in the literature and by noting the role that nurse rostering plays within the wider context of longer term hospital personnel planning. The main body of the paper describes and critically evaluates solution approaches which span the interdisciplinary spectrum from operations research techniques to artificial intelligence methods. We conclude by drawing on the strengths and weaknesses of the literature to outline the key issues that need addressing in future nurse rostering research. 相似文献

护士排班是医院不可或缺并且需要反复进行的工作,排班方案的优劣对医院的护理质量、运作成本、护士心身健康、工作积极性等产生重大影响。针对我国护士排班问题缺乏通用模型和排班手段落后的问题,本文首先建立了一个带有一系列劳动法规约束和护士级别差异约束的整数规划模型,该问题被公认为是NP问题;然后增加护士请假约束和护士对工作时段偏好以及护士间配合默契程度的软约束,建立了一个更加人性化的扩展模型;随后设计了一系列变换规则,研制出一个护士优化排班算法。实例验证该模型与算法是可行且有效的,并且扩展模型更受欢迎,有利于提高护士积极性和工作效益。 相似文献

Hybrid Genetic Algorithms are described for a large-size real-life rostering problem (railway workers' job scheduling and roster optimization). The new algorithm uses an order-based representation which encodes as a chromosome the list of job units to schedule. First, a greedy algorithm is considered, which uses a randomly generated job units list, and satisfies only the constraints pertaining to the workers' job contract. Then, a genetic algorithm optimizes the global roster, minimizing its length and achieving some desired homogenizations. Finally, a second genetic algorithm (GA) is used to find the best parameter values for the first genetic algorithm. Thus, this work investigates the use of a GA together with a greedy algorithm and of a second GA to optimize the parameter values of the first GA. The results of significant tests on real data are reported. They compare favourably with the known results on Rostering Problems, both in terms of execution time and solution accuracy. This work considers a practical Rostering Problem concerning the Railway workers' rosters optimization. The size of the input data is very challenging: about 1000 duties (i.e. job-units called ‘links’) based on a large-size city location; 125 days to consider for roster optimization (summer rostering); the goal is to optimize the structure of the working-turn for any worker, and to minimize the global cost of the rosters. It should be emphasised that this is a very large problem: we will use GAs to solve the problem within an execution time in the order of a few minutes on a common workstation. 相似文献

In this work, the bus driver rostering problem is considered in the context of a noncyclic rostering, with two objectives representing either the company or the drivers’ interests. A network model and a proof of the NP‐hardness of the problem are presented, along with a bi‐objective memetic algorithm that combines a specific decoder with a utopian/lexicographic elitism, a strength Pareto fitness evaluation, and a local search procedure. By taking real and benchmark instances the computational behavior of the memetic algorithm is compared with simpler versions to assess the effects of the embedded components. The developed algorithm is a valuable tool for bus companies’ planning departments insofar as it yields at low computing times a pool of good quality rosters that reconcile contradictory objectives. This study shows that simple enhancements in standard bi‐objective genetic algorithms may improve the results for this difficult combinatorial problem. 相似文献

Inversion of the kinematics of manipulators is one of the central problems in the field of robot arm control. The iterative use of inverse differential kinematics is a popular method of solving this task. Normally the solution of the problem requires a complex mathematical apparatus. It involves methods for solving equation systems as well as algorithms for optimization. In this paper we introduce a naïve heuristic method which works without the need for complex mathematical algorithms. This method forms a simple basis for the more sophisticated control procedures of our robot manipulator (JANUS). 相似文献

This contribution presents a two-phase variable neighborhood search algorithm for solving nurse rostering problems. In order to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm, it is firstly applied to all nurse rostering problem instances as proposed in the First International Nurse Rostering Competition (INRC-2010). Computational results assessed on all three sets of sixty competition instances demonstrate that the proposed algorithm improves the best known results for two instances, inside the time limits of the competition, while achieving the best known bounds for forty eight other instances. The proposed algorithm was also applied to seven other nurse rostering instances reported in the respective literature and managed to achieve the best known result in six of them while improving the best known result in one instance. The proposed algorithm, as well as its differences from existing approaches are presented, described and discussed in detail. 相似文献

An AND/OR-graph Approach to the Container Loading Problem 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Reinaldo Morabito & Marcos Arenalest 《International Transactions in Operational Research》1994,1(1):59-73
The container loading problem consists of packing boxes of various sizes into available containers in such a way as to optimize an objective function. In this paper we deal with the special case where there is just one available container and the objective is to maximize the total volume (or the total utility value, supposing that each box has a utility value) of the loaded boxes. We firstly present three heuristic solution methods for the unconstrained problem. Two of them solve the original three-dimensional problem by layers and by stacks reducing it into several problems with lower dimensions. The third one consists of representing possible loading patterns as complete paths in an AND/OR-graph. Bounds and heuristics are proposed in order to reduce the solution space. A proper heuristic is also given to treat the constrained problem by using the AND/OR-graph approach. Moreover, computational results are presented by solving a number of examples. 相似文献

在手术需求增大与医护人员短缺的矛盾下如何合理安排手术和配置医护资源,解决手术室实际运作中资源负荷不均衡现象,是当前手术室运作管理中亟待解决的难题。然而手术排程和手术室护士排班作为手术室科学管理的核心决策问题,却有着不同的时间域,并且会相互影响。在考虑科室手术和手术室护士偏好等硬约束和软约束前提下,构建一个集成手术排程和护士排班的手术室中期集成决策模型,设计了具有双层嵌套路径化结构的蚁群算法。通过某三甲医院10天的实际手术室运作数据,进行算法对比和分析评价,验证了算法在解决集成决策问题上的可行性和有效性。 相似文献

Several heuristics, based on evolutive algorithms and local search, are used to solve the nurse scheduling problem at a large hospital. Due to several intricate and specific restrictions imposed on the schedules, the problem is a difficult one to solve by hand. Moreover, some of the restrictions have a subjective value attached to them, and this constrains the use of exact methods that search for global optima. In order to facilitate the use of the solver modules by the hospital staff, a user interface was also implemented. 相似文献

The problem of decision timing in the context of batch scheduling is addressed in this paper. The representation of time in any scheduling model affects the number of integer variables and the convexity of the model. The usual procedure in batch process scheduling is to divide the scheduling horizon into equal size intervals to achieve the required accuracy. This construction generates a formulation with a potentially large number of binary variables. In this paper, the time events arising in the schedule are modeled directly, and thus the use of binary variables over periods during which no changes in system state occur is avoided. The problem is formulated as a mixed integer nonlinear program (MINLP). The Bayesian heuristic (BH) approach is used to implement a global optimization algorithm which effectively solves the resulting model. Computational comparisons using two text examples are made against a UDM (uniform discretization model) formulation. The results suggest that the BH approach combined with the nonuniform time discretization formulation shows promise for the solution of batch scheduling problems. 相似文献

同构计算环境中一种快速有效的静态任务调度算法 总被引:10,自引:1,他引:9
快速有效的调度任务是多处理器计算环境中的一个关键问题. 目前任务调度算法中刻画任务依赖关系最流行的模型是DAG. 在以前的文献中, 提出了一种新的更实际、更普遍的TTIG模型及其相应的MATE算法(基于同构计算环境). 延伸了TTIG模型, 并提出基于同构系统的新的算法及两种启发式方法(GBHA1和GBHA2). GBHA以组的形式尽量消除图中回路,因而能获得任务图的全局信息,具有更好的调度性能. 在模拟实验中,将此算法与MATE和其他同构环境中基于DAG的有效调度算法,在不同测试条件下进行了比较,结果显示GBHA在性能上明显优于MATE,与基于DAG模型的调度算法比较而言,在性能方面各有千秋,但在算法时间复杂度方面具有显著的优势. 相似文献

An image can be seen as an element of a vector space and hence it can be expressed in as a linear combination of the elements
of any non necessarily orthogonal basis of this space. After giving a matrix formulation of this well-known fact, this paper
presents a reconstruction method of an image from its moments that sheds new light on this inverse problem. Two main contributions
are presented: (a) the results using the standard approach based on the least squares approximation of the result using orthogonal
polynomials can also be obtained using matrix pseudoinverses, which implies higher control on the numerical stability of the
problem; and (b) it is possible to use basis functions in the reconstruction different from orthogonal polynomials, such as
Fourier or Haar basis, allowing to introduce constraints relative to the bandwidth or the spatial resolution on the image
to be reconstructed.
