eb stands for the paper's author Erhan Baltacioglu, and afit stands for Air Force Institude of Technology.
lotuc.binpack.eb-afit
implements the algorithm described in paper
The Distributer's Three-Dimensional Pallet-Packing Problem: A Human Intelligence-Based Heuristic Approach,
some of the implementation detail differences can be found
here.
The reference implemention described in the paper can be found here at https://github.com/wknechtel/3d-bin-pack .

The visualizer (which is deployed at https://lotuc.org/bin-pack/) take the input text, find the best packing strategy and visualize the packing result.
