title = "Constraint-based nurse rostering for the Valpara{\'i}so Clinic Center in Chile",
abstract = "The nurse rostering problem consists in assigning working shifts to each nurse on each day for a certain period of time. In particular, for the Valpara{\'i}so Clinic Center, the problem comprises about 1600 assignments that must consider requirements related to minimal area or floor allocation as well as legal regulations. This planning is a difficult and time consuming task that currently is done by hand yielding often unsatisfactory results. In this paper, we provide a description of such a real-world problem and we show how it can be modeled and solved with constraint programming. Using this approach we provide an automatic generation of such rosters in a few seconds instead of by hand in some days.",
