Abstract
In this paper, we present a multiobjective programming approach for solving nurse rostering problems. We first formulate the nurse rostering problems as a multiobjective mixed 0-1 linear program and then prove that finding an efficient solution of the last program leads to solving one mixed 0-1 linear problem. Two benchmark problems are considered and computational experiments are presented.
