作者:

Highlights:

• We analyse a multi-objective two-dimensional bin-packing problem with rotations and load balancing.

• We present sequential and parallel memetic algorithms that include a set of advanced search operators.

• The implemented algorithms are compared with other heuristic methods found in the literature.

• The results are analyzed using multi-objective metrics and non-parametric statistical models.

• The parallel multi-objective approach outperforms other methods in a set of benchmarks.
