Optimal 3D spatial packaging of interconnected systems with physical interactions (thermal,
hydraulic, electromagnetic, etc.), or SPI2, plays a vital role in the functionality, operation …

We present a number of variants of a constructive algorithm able to solve a wide variety of
variants of the Two-Dimensional Irregular Bin Packing Problem (2DIBPP). The aim of the …

This paper addresses a special case of irregular bin packing problem which the irregular
pieces with free rotation have to fill a large irregular stock sheet with defective regions while …

One-and two-dimensional packing and cutting problems occur in many commercial contexts,
and it is often important to be able to get good-quality solutions quickly. Fairly simple …

Most cities are car-centric, allocating a privileged amount of urban space to cars at the
expense of sustainable mobility like cycling. Simultaneously, privately owned vehicles are …

Three-dimensional spatial packaging of interconnected systems with physical interactions
(SPI2) design plays a vital role in the functionality, operation, energy usage, and life cycle of …

We present Roadkill, a software tool that converts 3D models to 2D cutting plans for laser
cutting—such that the resulting layouts allow for fast assembly. Roadkill achieves this by …

Packing optimization problems have a wide spectrum of real-word applications, including
transportation, logistics, chemical/civil/mechanical/power/aerospace engineering …

In this article, a multi-objective evolutionary framework to build selection hyper-heuristics for
solving instances of the 2D bin packing problem is presented. The approach consists of a …

This paper addresses the two-dimensional irregular bin packing problem, whose main aim
is to allocate a given set of irregular pieces to larger rectangular containers (bins), while …
