In this study, a constraint logic programming (CLP) technique is used to formulate a nurse scheduling problem . There are two stages in CLP technique: Logic program and Constraint solving. Findings for a case study are presented, and the advantage of using Advance Mathematical Programming Language (AMPL) , compared to a manual method, is discussed.en-USNurseConstraint logic programmingAn application of constraint logic programming in nurse schedulingThesis
