Bin packaging
-
Hiya all. I'm trying to find some online references/algorithms/pseudo-code et al for solving a bin packaging problem where I need to fit an amount of items of varrying size (length, height, width, thus m^3) into a container of a volume and then report how much space is left. There is - so far I know currently - no weight or cost restraint. I've tried googleing around for this, but mostly come up empty, other then the fact that it is apparently called a "Bin Packaging Problem" and that a couple of solutions exists. However, I've not really found anything concrete as to approches or possible pseudocode/algorithms. Does anybody know of any (online) references which can provide me of information regarding this issue, and can help guide me onwards? (And no - it aint homework - just professionel curiosity, because it could become a spin-off of a clients wishes, so I'd like to be prepared if/when that happens :D) With regards and hopefullness.

The reply has been editted. First the reply was mearly "Bin packing" as poking at my spelling mistake in my original post, and nothing else, hence my reply to it. --------------------------- 127.0.0.1 - Sweet 127.0.0.1
