The Hub-and-spoke strategy is widely used in the field of transportation. According to containerization and the development of transshipment technology, it is also introduced into European rail freight transportation. The objective of this article is to develop a service network design model for rail freight transportation based on the Hub-and-spoke strategy and efficient algorithms that can be applied to large-scale network. Although this model is for strategic decision, it includes not only general operational cost but also time-delay cost. The non-linearity of objective function due to time-delay factor is transformed into linearity by establishing train service variables by frequency. To solve large scale problem, this model used a heuristic method based on decomposition and three newly-developed algorithms. The new algorithms were examined with respect to four test problems base on the actual network of European rail freight and discussed the accuracy of solutions and the efficiency of proposed algorithms.

Many embedded real-time systems have adopted processors supported with dynamic voltage scaling(DVS) recently. Power is one of the important metrics for optimization in the design and operation of embedded real-time systems. We can save considerable energy by using slowdown of processor supported with DVS. In this paper, we propose heuristic algorithms to calculate task slowdown factors for an efficient energy consumption in embedded real-time systems with task synchronization. The previous algorithm has a following constraint : given the tasks are ordered in a nondecreasing order of their relative deadline, the task slowdown factors computed are in a nonincreasing order. In this paper, we relax the constraint and propose heuristic algorithms which have the same time complexity that previous algorithm has and can save more energy. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithms are energy efficient.

Recently, many companies have started to manage and support CoPs formally at the organizational level because of strategic usability of CoP. These companies are also seeking ways to motivate CoP members to actively participate in their groups. Accordingly, this paper proposes one way of increasing CoP activities by rearranging CoP members. In practice, active CoP members often lead their groups. Therefore, rearranging members can, eventually, be one method to motivate more individuals to participate in CoP activities. This paper first suggests a new approach in order to improve knowledge sharing activities at the organizational level based on rearranging members of current CoPs. Second, a mathematical model is presented which maximizes total BLS (Balanced Level Score) of company A with several constraints. Then a real world problem is changed to a popular problem, VRP to solve this problem. Third, the solution program was developed to find a meaningful solution.

We introduce a efficient vertical mining algorithm that reduces searching complexity for frequent k-itemsets significantly. This method includes sorting items by their LSI(Least Support Itemsets) similarity and then searching frequent itemsets in tree-based manner. The search tree structure provides several useful heuristics and therefore, reduces search space significantly at early stages. Experimental results on various data sets shows that the proposed algorithm improves searching performance compared to other algorithms, especially for a database having long pattern.

본 논문은 WDM 광 통신망에서 망의 효율적인 설계에 필요한 알고리즘에 관한 것이다. WDM 광 통신망은 경로설정 및 파장할당이 중요한 변수로 s-d 노드 쌍간에 필요한 연결수요가 주어질 때 이 연결수요를 만족시켜주는 광 경로를 설정하고, 파장을 할당해 줌으로써 사용 파장수를 최소화하면서 파장을 재사용 할 수 있는 효율을 최대로 하는 것이 목적이다. WDM 방식을 이용하여 전기적 변환에 따른 지연 없이 전광통신망에서 여러 개의 파장을 다중화하여 동시에 자료를 전송함으로서 수Gbps, 혹은 그이상의 전송이 가능해질 것으로 기대되어 진다. 이들 설계 문제들은 일반적인 토폴로지 망에서 정적인 경로 설정 및 파장할당을 대상으로 하여 발견적인 알고리즘을 얻고자 하였다. 또한 이를 통해 LP모형으로 얻은 하한 한계 값과 휴리스틱 알고리즘의 최소파장수와 동일한 값이 나올 수 있는 알고리즘을 구하였다.

주행 경로 안내는 최근 국내에서도 활발히 연구되고 있는 지능형 교통 시스템(ITS)의 주요 기능 중 하나이다. 주행 경로 안내를 위해서는 대규모 도로망에서 신속하게 경로를 찾는 방법과 찾은 경로를 음성 또는 기호로 운전자에게 효율적으로 안내하는 방법등이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 도로망의 계층성을 휴리스틱 정보로 활용하여 최단시간 경로를 효율적으로 찾는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 고속국도, 국도 등의 고속 주행용 도로만으로 소규모 상위 계층 도로망을 만들고 이를 기존 도로망에 덧붙이는 방식으로 통합한다. 이 통합망에 상위 계층 도로망을 우선적으로 찾도록 구성한 A* 알고리즘을 수행하여 최단시간 경로를 찾는다. 또 경로 탐색용 그래프가 디스크에 저장된 경우에, 디스크 접근을 최적화하기 위한 데이터베이스 설계 및 디스크 접근 방법을 기술한다. 제안된 방법의 효율성을 검증하기 위해 서울시 도로망 데이터를 이용하여 실험한 결과, 제안된 방법을 통해 경로 탐색 소요 시간, 디스크 입출력 회수, 메모리 사용량 등을 75%이상 줄일 수 있었다.

병렬 기계 작업장에서 자원을 효율적으로 활용하기 위해서는 처리할 작업을 적절한 기계에 할당해야 한다. 특정 작업을 처리할 기계를 선택할 때 휴리스틱을 사용할 수도 있으나, 특정 작업장에 맞춤화된 휴리스틱을 개발하는 것은 쉽지 않다. 반면, 본 논문에서는 이종 병렬 기계 작업장을 위한 작업 할당 모형을 개발하는데 강화학습을 응용하고자 한다. 작업 할당 모형을 학습하는데 필요한 에피소드들은 상용 시뮬레이션 소프트웨어인 FlexSim을 이용하여 생성하였다. 아울러, stable-baseline3 라이브러리를 이용하여 강화학습 알고리즘을 생성된 에피소드들에 적용하였다. 실험 결과를 통해 시뮬레이션과 강화학습이 작업장 운영관리에 유용함을 알 수 있었다.

A conjunctive Boolean text query refers to a query that searches for tort documents containing all of the specified keywords, and is the most frequently used query form in information retrieval systems. Typically, the query specifies a long list of keywords for better precision, and in this case, the order of keyword processing has a significant impact on the query speed. Currently known approaches to this ordering are based on heuristics and, therefore, cannot guarantee an optimal ordering. We can use a systematic approach by leveraging a database query processing algorithm like the dynamic programming, but it is not suitable for a text query with a typically long list of keywords because of the algorithm's exponential run-time (Ο(n2$^{n-1}$)) for n keywords. Considering these problems, we propose a new approach based on a property called the join sequence separability. This property states that the optimal join sequence is separable into two subsequences of different join methods under a certain condition on the joined relations, and this property enables us to find a globally optimal join sequence in Ο(n2$^{n-1}$). In this paper we describe the property formally, present an optimization algorithm based on the property, prove that the algorithm finds an optimal join sequence, and validate our approach through simulation using an analytic cost model. Comparison with the heuristic text query optimization approaches shows a maximum of 100 times faster query processing, and comparison with the dynamic programming approach shows exponentially faster query optimization (e.g., 600 times for a 10-keyword query).

The Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) is the problem that the vehicles stationed at central depot are to be optimally routed to supply customers with demands, satisfying vehicle capacity constraints. The CVRP is the NP-hard as it is a natural generalization of the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). In this article, we propose the heuristic algorithm, called the bisection seed detection method, to solve the CVRP. The algorithm is composed of 3-phases. In the first phase, we work out the initial cluster using the improved sweep algorithm. In the next phase, we choose a seed node in each initial cluster by using the bisection seed detection method, and we compose the rout with the nearest node from each seed. At this phase, we compute the regret value to decide the list of priorities for the node assignment. In the final phase, we improve the route result by using the tabu search and exchange algorithm. We compared our heuristic with different heuristics such as the Clark-Wright heuristic and the genetic algorithm. The result of proposed heuristic show that our algorithm can get the nearest optimal value within the shortest execution time comparatively.
