Figure 1: Agent-based framework for cooperative metaheuristic search different metaheuristic agents generated nurse rosters using MinMax, three In the first test scenario, the metaheuristic agents use cooperative search to generate the nurse rosters using the same fairness objective of cooperative search with respect to the Jains fairness index using different fairness objective functions, MinDev ad MinMax are the best choices Table 3: The average Jains fairness index over 20 runs of a given fairnessbased objective function for each benchmark instance under Scenario 1, where	./cache/work_ul5aon6enngwvleeiivqhyl54m.pdf	./txt/work_ul5aon6enngwvleeiivqhyl54m.txt
