Test Instances

Collections of the instances:
dataset1 - 1st set of random instances (training).
dataset2 - 2nd set of random instances (validation).
real instances - collection of test instances published in the erlier literature.

The instances are collected in the following files

File Format
Instance files are text files with data in the following order:
- 1st line: W LB
- 2nd line: n
- lines 3 to n+2 - item data (in the order): width height
where:
n - number of items,
LB - height Lower Bound,
W - width of the strip.
