Additional information
<22> This paper describes how to automatically develop 3D packing heuristics, which is relevant in many industrial areas where 3D physical objects need to be packed optimally into a confined space. This is the first attempt at automatically developing 3D packing heuristics. The results in this paper provided some of the foundation blocks and signposts for a new major EPSRC programme grant (EP/J017515/1) of £6.8M between UCL, Stirling, York and Birmingham, which started in 2012. This research has led to Woodward organising a workshop on the automated design of algorithms at the 2013 GECCO (Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference).
