title = "A mathematical programming aproach to the multi-activity combined timetabling & crew scheduling problem",
abstract = "The goal of the Multi-activity Combined Timetabling and Crew Scheduling Problem MCTSP is to schedule the minimum number of workers, in order to visit a set of customers. Each client is characterized by a set of request and a set of availabilities. Thus, this problem combines the timetabling and crew scheduling decisions and deals with highly customer-oriented service systems. Similar scheduling decisions must be taken for technical support visits, certified mail delivery and health services delivery, among others. The proposed approach integrates those decisions in one network-based integer programming model that considers multiple activities. Several computational experiments on randomly generated instances show that problems up to 240 nodes can be solved to optimality in less than 12 minutes.",
