Given a set of rectangular pieces and a container of fixed width and variable length, the two-dimensional strip packing problem (2D-SPP) consists of orthogonally placing all the p...
In past massively parallel processing systems, such as the TMC CM-5 and the CRI T3E, the scheduling problem consisted of allocating a single type of resource among the waiting job...
A novel evolutionary approach for the bin packing problem (BPP) is presented. A simple steady-state genetic algorithm is developed that produces results comparable to other approa...
In this paper, we present a rule-based modelling language for constraint programming, called Rules2CP. Unlike other modelling languages, Rules2CP adopts a single knowledge represen...
This paper considers packing problems with balancing conditions and items consisting of clusters of parallelepipeds (mutually orthogonal, i.e. tetris-like items). This issue is qu...
