Dataset

Description

This is a dataset consists of 11 instances randomly generated based on the reference instance exist in the literature called "ORTEC01", which itself is one instance out of 12 instances extracted from a real hospital. Unfortunately, the dataset has to be generated since the other 11 instances research in the relevant literature are lost.
The format of the new instances is based on the XML format reported in http://www.staffrostersolutions.com/support/autoroster-problem-data.php .
The new instances are generated in a way that they would be similar to the reference one (i.e. the first instance) and only the coverage and pre-assignments are different. We use a weighted uniform random function to generate new data biased on the reference data.
