English abstract:
The rotating workforce scheduling problem aims to schedule workers satisfying shift sequence constraints and ensuring enough shifts are covered on each day, where every worker completes the same sched-ule, just starting at different days in the schedule. We give two solver independent models for the rotating workforce scheduling problem and compare them using different solving technology, both constraint pro-gramming and mixed integer programming. We show that the best of these models outperforms the state-of-the-art for the rotating workforce scheduling problem, and that solver independent modeling allows us to use different solvers to achieve different aims: e.g., speed to solution or robustness of solving (particular for unsatisfiable problems). We give the first complete method able to solve all of the standard benchmarks for this problem.
