Abstract

This paper considers the problem of container loading. That is, the problem of locating a predefined set of objects into containers so that the number of containers is minimized. In this paper we outline our system, which includes as a distinguished aspect the possibility of considering objects that are nonorthogonal. That is, non rectangular objects are permitted to be located in the container.
