Packing is a classical geomeric optimization problem in which the shape of a container is predefined (such as a disk, a square, or a rectangle) and we aim to find a smallest container for input objects while the input objects remain disjoint in their interiors. Packing problems have been studied for a long time. It dates back to 1611 when Kepler studied sphere packing in three-dimensional Euclidean space. There has been recent algorithmic progress on packing problem - packing a set of disks into a smallest disk and packing a set of convex polygons into a given axis-parallel rectangle under translations and rigid motions in the plane. There still are, however, many packing problems for more general objects under various transformations in higher dimensions.

There are many other optimization problems in space tessellation and packing. This meeting serves to trigger extensive collaboration on advanced research in this area.
