Abstract: | This paper presents a new approach to solving the
orthogonal packing problem (OPP). The OPP is shown to be
related to one class of resource allocation problems, namely the
land allocation problem. The proposed method differs from
traditional methods in that component dimensions are not
prescribed, allowing designers greater flexibility and giving
them the ability to choose from a number of different solutions.
We will show that in removing constraints from dimensions,
we allow for the possibility for finding better solutions and this
is verified in the case study |
