So, Nurse Scheduling Problems (NSP) has studied over forty years by many researchers. Many heuristic algorithms in the literature are generated based on the imitation of the events in nature. One of them is the Harmony Search Algorithm (HSA). The aim of this study is to examine all aspects of HSA and to evaluate the success of proposed HSA on a common set of problems in NSP. The originality of study lies in the fact that it is provided the further development of solution quality by adding a new feature to the parallel HSA.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessConference Object10575579N/AWOS:000417158200092N/A
