This volume presents a selection of case studies that address a
substantial range of optimized object packings (OOP) and their
applications. The contributing authors are well-recognized
researchers and practitioners. The mathematical modelling and
numerical solution aspects of each application case study are
presented in sufficient detail. A broad range of OOP problems are
discussed: these include various specific and non-standard
container loading and object packing problems, as well as the
stowing of hazardous and other materials on container ships, data
centre resource management, automotive engineering design, space
station logistic support, cutting and packing problems with
placement constraints, the optimal design of LED street lighting,
robust sensor deployment strategies, spatial scheduling problems,
and graph coloring models and metaheuristics for packing
applications. Novel points of view related to model development
and to computational nonlinear, global, mixed integer
optimization and heuristic strategies are also discussed.

Optimized Packings with Applications will benefit
researchers and practitioners working on a broad range of topical
engineering and operations research applications. Academics,
graduate and post-graduate students in the fields of engineering,
applied mathematics, operations research and optimization will
also find the book useful, since it discusses a range of advanced
model development and solution techniques and tools in the
context of real-world applications and new challenges.
