Abstract
 Nurse scheduling support systems using Genetic Algorithm are now put in practice. However, it is too difficult to describe evaluation functions of schedules that vary from hospital to hospital. Therefore we have developed a method to generate evaluation functions by the screen operation of the user. We divide evaluation functions from the main program by describing evaluation functions using SQL. The user can add the evaluation functions without giving a change to the program. SQL for the description, the evaluation functions can be described how the combination of nesting and the self-binding. Since description of SQL is not easy, we have developed a method to generate SQL by screen operation. We show that this method is able to generate evaluation functions through experiments.
