“…Look-forward (LF) strategies (see for example [7], [4], [1]) are often used in order to improve the results obtained by different algorithms. Its objective is to evaluate the future behavior of a decision (choice) made at a given step of the problem solving process.…”
Section: A a Multi-level Look-forward Strategy For The 3dsppmentioning
Abstract-In this paper a look-forward heuristic is proposed in order to solve the problem of packing spheres into a threedimensional bin of fixed height and depth but variable length. The objective is to pack all the spheres into the bin of minimum length. This problem is also known under the name of threedimensional strip packing problem. The computational investigation, conducted on a set of benchmark instances taken from the literature, shows that the method is effective since it improves most of the best known results.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
