Project Title: Workforce Allocation - Models and Algorithms Student: Rahul Saha Course: BSc Hons Mathematics and Computer Science Abstract: The project is to analyse and compare different algorithms and methods (e.g. DP algorithms, LP heuristic methods) that solve similar days off scheduling problems, using minimum staffing. Similar due to similar constraints needed to be met by the algortithms and methods. After examining the algorithms and methods, via highlighting the advantages, disadvantages and efficiency of each solution, using benchmark tests to ensure fairness; the goal will be to select the most efficient, optimal solution(s) and program these solution(s) and depict the results in the form of list or grid schedules (as portrayed in the days off calculator) so that the schedules can be clearly depicted.
