Abstract
This contribution considers the distributed version of the Nurse Rostering Problem. A hospital consists of several wards that have a high degree of autonomy. Each ward maintains its local roster. This local decision making problem is of combinatorial complexity. By sharing and exchanging resources, the wards want to improve their rosters and tackle staff shortages. In this paper, a negotiation based model is studied in which hospital wards are represented by agents. The agents negotiate about their rosters: in case of staff shortage, requests are raised by the agents. An experimental setup is provided as proof of concept.
