护士花名册是一项具有实际意义的复杂任务。在过去的几年里，研究人员已经能够解决越来越大、越来越复杂的问题。本文介绍了举办首届国际护士花名册大赛的全过程。比赛的目的是通过汇集来自不同领域的研究人员，进一步发展对该领域的兴趣，并激发新的解决方法。我们描述了比赛的精神和规则，问题描述和解决方案的评估。我们还解释了评选过程和最终结果。此外，我们还对参与者采用的算法方法进行了简要描述。最后，我们讨论了从比赛中吸取的教训和未来要开展的活动。
Nurse rostering is a complex task of practical relevance. Over the last years, researchers have been able to solve increasingly larger and more complex problems. In this paper, we describe the full procedure of running the First International Nurse Rostering Competition. The aim of the competition was to develop further interest in the area and to stimulate new solution approaches by bringing together researchers from different areas.We describe the competition’s spirit and its rules, the problem description and evaluation of solutions. We also explain the selection process and the final results. In addition, we give a brief description of the algorithmic approaches undertaken by the participants. Finally, we discuss the lessons learned from the competition and future activities to undertake.
