The optimization of daily Operating Room (OR) surgery schedules can be problematic because of many constraints, like to determine the start time of different surgeries and allocating the required resources including the availability of surgical teams for complete surgical procedures.

Recently, Answer Set Programming (ASP) has been successfully employed for addressing and solving real-life scheduling problems in the health domain.


In this talk will present our ASP solution for scheduling ORs taking explicitly into account availability of surgical teams that include a surgeon and an anesthetist for the entire surgery duration. Results of the solution with realistic parameters tested on different benchmarks will also be presented.
