Algorithm for constructing an optimally connected rectangular floor plan

0.1016/j.foar.2013 Higher Education P 3729. rishnendra.iitd@g r responsibility of Abstract In most applications, such as urbanism and architecture, randomly utilizing given spaces is certainly not favorable. This study proposes an explicit algorithm for utilizing the given spaces inside a rectangle with satisfactory results. In the literature, connectivity is not considered as a criterion for f...

Bidirectional best-fit heuristic for orthogonal rectangular strip packing

In a non-guillotinable rectangular strip packing problem (RF-SPP), the best orthogonal placement of given rectangular pieces on a strip of stock sheet having fixed width and infinite height are searched. The aim is to minimize the height of the strip while including all the pieces in appropriate orientations. In this study, a novel bidirectional best-fit heuristic (BBF) is introduced for solvin...

Always Best (dis-)Connected: Challenges to Interconnect Highly Heterogeneous Networks

Wireless networks enable mobility, multihoming, and Delay Tolerant Networks. In such networking environments, the principles of the Internet, i.e., the end-to-end principle and the combination of location and identification in IP addresses, cannot be applied. In this paper, we propose a scalable application centric approach for mobility and multihoming that is able to interconnect highly hetero...
