Abstract

In Nurse Rostering problems the goal is to assign nurses to shifts, subject to a number of constraints. In this paper we consider the computational complexity of such problems. We review the major complexity results obtained so far and show that a problem with coverage constraints, day off requests, and forbidden sequences of shifts of length 2 is NP-hard in the strong sense, even if there are only three work shifts and a day off shift involved.
