Para quem gostou da disciplina, existe uma oportunidade de continuar
Segue a chamada de um concurso para escalonar enfermeiras, parece divertido.
Quem sabe formamos uma equipe. No ano que o IME participou e ficou em terceiro lugar (ROADEF), pagamos pela USP a viagem ao aluno. Mais informações abaixo.

First International Nurse Rostering Competition 2010
Building on the success of the two timetabling competitions, ITC2002 and ITC2007, the First International Nurse Rostering Competition (INRC2010) aims to further develop interest in the general area of rostering and timetabling while providing researchers with models of the problems faced which incorporate an increased number of real world constraints. A first important goal of INRC2010 is to generate new approaches to the associated problems by attracting users from all areas of research. As with many cases in the past, significant advancements have been made in research areas by attracting multi-disciplinary approaches and comparing them on a common ground. The second important goal is to close the gap which currently exists between research and practice within this important area of operational research. Although for the sake of the competitive element, we do not include all aspects of the 'real world' problem, we do build on the recent developments to introduce significantly more depth and complexity. A third goal of INRC2010 is to further stimulate debate within the widening rostering and timetabling research community.
Submissions
Competitors are encouraged to submit solution to the problems in the following three tracks:
1) Track 1 (Sprint) requires a solution in a few seconds, and it is meant for interactive use.
2) Track 2 (Middle Distance) requires the solution in a few minutes and simulates the practical situation in which the problem has to be solved a few times in a solving session.
3) Track 3 (Long Distance) grants the solver a few hours of running time and is related to overnight solving.
The winner of each track receives a prize of €535 and free registration to PATAT in Belfast 2010.
Important dates
Competition start: March 1st, 2010
Solution submissions: June 1st, 2010
Finalist notification: June 30th, 2010
