| Abstract | The nurse scheduling problem (NSP) is the task of allocating nurses in three shifts under constraints. A nurse-in-chief needs a lot of time and effort to make a schedule. Studies on automatic scheduling have been done. A genetic algorithm (GA) has been applied to this nurse scheduling problem. However, this type of conventional scheduling method could not satisfy the user. It has been difficult to incorporate the evaluation criteria of the nurse-in-chief. An interactive GA has been studied. In the process of this GA, humans directly evaluate the offspring. The interactive GA has been applied to the fields of arts and Kansei engineering. The paper presents a nurse scheduling support system utilizing an interactive evolutionary algorithm (EA). From the past schedule, and users operation, the system learns the user's evaluation criteria of the system, and generates schedules under the obtained criteria, and displays some of the best schedules to the user. Then she can decide which parts of the schedules to adopt, or to be improved. The system reschedules the parts that need improvement. Repeating this process, the system and the user help each other to find a satisfactory schedule. The paper also presents a hardware implementation of EA for this interactive nurse scheduling system. For human-machine interaction, quick response of the system is indispensable. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
