Nurse Rostering

[Edmund Burke <ekb@Cs.Nott.AC.UK>]

Members of this list who are working in nurse rostering may be interested
in the following recently published survey article:

E.K.Burke, P.De Causmaecker, G.Vanden Berghe and H.Van Landeghem, The
State of the Art of Nurse Rostering, The Journal of Scheduling, Volume 7
issue 6, November/December 2004, pages 441-499. 

You can download it from the Journal of Scheduling website at:
http://www.kluweronline.com/issn/1094-6136

It includes a classification of nurse rostering problems which
we tried to make as comprehensive as possible.  We want to keep this up
to date (on the web), so I would be very grateful if you could send
me the details of any new nurse rostering papers that appear.

Thanks in advance.

All the best,
Edmund.
