ab: Summary: Timetabling and rostering research often starts from particular
    real world problems. The last two decennia have seen a large number of
    papers discussing cases, models and approaches. This large body of
    publications does not presently constitute a structured domain that
    provides guidelines for addressing particular problem instances, nor
    does it allow identifying gaps where new research is needed. In this
    paper, we instigate a structured model for timetabling and rostering.
    We present a basic structure for the integrated staff planning and
    rostering problem. The model can only result in a valid and efficient
    tool through the input of multiple disciplines. We give a first formal
    description for short term nurse rostering. Specific problems are
    positioned in this model.
