The solution that was submitted by the research team of the Univerity of Patras, Computer Systems Laboratory at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Department (Dr Christos Valouxis, Dr. Christos Gogos, Dr. George Goulas, Dr. Panayiotis Alefragis, Prof. Efthymios Housos) won all three tracks of the 1st International Nurse Rostering Competition. The competition was organized by CODes, SINTEF and SaTT and lasted between 1/3/2010 and 20/6/2010 and was supported by the PATAT 2010 International Conference.
The solution scored the best results amongst 15 competitors who had submitted final solutions (https://www.kuleuven-kortrijk.be/nrpcompetition/competitor-ranking) that conformed to the competition requirements. The three competition tracks were variations of the same problem, with differences in problem size and available computation time. The implemented software used Integer Programming combined with heuristic techniques. The solution approach was presented at the 8th Conference on Practice and Theory of Automated Timetabling 2010.
The same research team achieved a second place award in the 2nd International Scheduling Competition in 2007.
