Computer application for the cutting problem of a board

Abstract

This article shows the application of a computer tool based in heuristic algorithms which are efficient for cutting problems of boards using the Greedy algorithm proposed by Martello y Toth in 1990 (Constructive algorithm). (Canovas, Huertas & Sempere, 2011) In this particular case the Greedy algorithm is used to find a first solution (as a starting point for another heuristic) For the development of this application it was used Visual Studio 2010.
