The packing problem consists in finding the best arrangement of objects (many geometrical forms) in a specific space called container.This new algorithm is inspired by the observations of nanometric scale electromagnetic fields. We use the electromagnetic theory of the electric field to calculate the best position to place a circular object in a configuration of other circular objects previously packing. Also, in this new algorithm we simulate two processes called »gravity» and »shaken» that compact the distribution of the objects placed in the container and allow to minimize the unoccupied space. © 2018 IEEE.enGravitational algorithmsNanoscale electromagnetic fieldsNature inspired algorithmOptimizationPacking problemContainersElectric fieldsElectromagnetic field theoryHeuristic algorithmsNanotechnologyObject recognitionCircle packing problemCircular objectsElectromagnetic theoriesResource Types::text::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
