摘要：This paper derives its work from an interest in the development of an automated approach to tackle highly constrained patient admission scheduling problems (PASP). It is concerned with an assignment of patients to bed in an appropriate department in such a way it can maximise medical treatment effectiveness and patients� comfort. In this paper too, we have investigate a newly created meta-heuristic optimisation algorithm, called Biogeography Based Optimization (BBO) based on the idea of migration of species between different habitats. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, six instances of PASP data sets were used. The performance of the BBO algorithm was compared with other approaches that in the literature. Experimental results show that, the BBO needs more investigation for improving the obtained results.
