Tiling different size rectangles

[shahriara7551080]

I am looking for some pointers to algorithms that should allow to tile with no overlap different size rectangles.

Given a set of different sized rectangles, tile them on an area of size H x W with no overlap. The objective would be to maximize the space used or conversely - minimize area of gaps. If there is not enough space, proceed on the second area of the same size and so on.

It is assumed that each rectangle's width and height are smaller than respective dimensions of the tiling area. Rectangles are not rotated or otherwise transformed - i.e. their sides are either horizontal or vertical.

That is not a question about InDesign.
