The more-dimensional bin packing problem (BPP) considered here requires packing a set ofrectangular shaped items into a minimum number of identical rectangular shaped bins. All itemsmay be rotated and the guillotine constraint has to be respected. A straightforward heuristic ispresented that is...

Dieser Beitrag untersucht die Möglichkeiten, die durch eine kooperative Transportdisposition erzielten Kostenersparnisse fair, anreizkompatibel und stabilitätserhaltend auf die Kooperationspartner zu verteilen. Zunächst werden klassische und neuere Ansätze der Kostenrechnung auf ihre Eignung...

The contribution presents a heuristic for the three-dimensional strip-packing problem (3D-SPP) with rectangular shaped pieces (boxes). The considered 3D-SPP can be formulated as follows: for a given set of boxes and a given longitudinal open container, determine a feasible arrangement of all...

In this contribution, a parallel hybrid local search algorithm for the three-dimensional container loading problem (CLP) is proposed. First a simulated annealing method for the CLP is developed, which is then combined with an existing tabu search algorithm to form a hybrid metaheuristic....

This paper presents a parallel tabu search algorithm for the container loading problem with a single container to be loaded. The emphasis is on the case of a weakly heterogeneous load. The distributed-parallel approach is based on the concept of multi-search threads according to Toulouse et al....
