PackIt! is a .NET API that can be used to divide an arbitrary collection of items into collections. For example, it can be used to separate a collection of files that is too large to fit on a singe CD into multiple sub-collections that can be burned across multiple CD. Alternatively, it can be used by an E-Commerce system to divide products into multiple shipments. PackIt! is a tool for developers. It is an application/domain generic API that can be integrated into whatever system you need. PackIt! is an implementation of the classic Bin Packing problem. It uses algorithms to divide items into sub-collections, wasting as little space is it can. Is it optimal? Well, yes and no. The Bin Packing problem is an NP Hard problem, which means that there is no optimal solution that can be provided in polynomial time. This means that finding an optimal solution to any but the smallest tasks is not feasible. We did implement an optimal problem solver, but it runs in O(n!) time, so for problems involving more than seven or eight items, we would recommend using the optimal packing option. There are however, a number of solutions that provide near optimal packaging that run much (MUCH!) faster. The API has a fast packing routine, though not guaranteed to be optimal, will come close. The fast algorithm runs in O(nlgn) time. Nearly linear. Contact: Please visit the author/publisher homepage for contact info |
