Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for arranging a plurality of objects or content into a plurality of regions to obtain a content-aware layout are provided. The method includes receiving region data which specifies properties for a plurality of regions and receiving object data which specifies properties for a plurality of objects. The method further includes processing the object and region data to produce an arrangement of the plurality of objects into the plurality of regions. The step of processing for at least one of the regions includes the steps of: generating a plurality of candidate object layouts, scoring the plurality of candidate object layouts, and selecting a layout from the candidate object layouts for the region based on the scores.
