Phillip Feldman <phillip.m.feld...@gmail.com> added the comment: With the exception of the "empty boxes forbidden" category, I've come across all of these at one time or another, many in the context of error control coding (data communications). Much of the early work on occupancy problems was motivated by physics and the theory of probability, but if one does Internet searches on occupancy problems, it seems as though there is now more interest in such area as the biological sciences, genetic testing, wildlife monitoring, and the like.
