Bin Packing Algorithms

IS there anybody knows about the bin packing algorithms, I searched the web but there is not any usefulsource for me! can you tell me a book name or a resource name.

Approximation Algorithms by Vijay Vazirani has a short chapter on bin packing, and is a pretty good reference in general.

Try searching the web again. I found lots of good links with Google:

Oh, if you are looking for source code, that'll be a little harder to find. Just read the tech papers, and you're bound to find one that you can code up. I found coding the things from a paper also helps you understand the algorithm better in case you need your own tweaks in it.

Greedy algorithms are often a pretty reasonable approach to bin-packing. In a lot of cases they're no more than twice as wasteful as an optimal solution.
