Web newspaper layout optimization using simulated annealing.
The Web newspaper pagination problem consists of optimizing the layout of a set of articles extracted from several Web newspapers and sending it to the user as the result of a previous query. This layout should be organized in columns, as in real newspapers, and should be adapted to the client Web browser configuration in real time. This paper presents an approach to the problem based on simulated annealing (SA) that solves the problem on-line, adapts itself to the client's computer configuration, and supports articles with different widths.
