Abstract

Summary Layouting items in a 2D-constrained container for maximizing container value and minimizing wasted space is a 2D Cutting and Packing (C&P) problem. We consider this task in the context of layouting news articles on xed-size pages in a system for delivering personalized newspapers. We propose a grid-based page structure where articles can be laid out in different variants for increased exibility. In addition, we have developed a fitness function integrating aesthetic and relevance criteria for computing the value of a solution. We evaluate our approach using well-known layouting heuristics. Our results show that with the more complex fitness function only advanced C&P algorithms obtain nearly-optimal solutions, while the basic algorithms underperform
