In various engineering fields, determining the appropriate parameter set is a cumbersome and difficult task when solving optimization problems. Despite the appropriate parameter setting through parameter sensitivity analysis, there are limits to evaluating whether the parameters are appropriate for all optimization problems. For this reason, kinds of a Self-adaptive Harmony searches have been developed to solve various engineering problems by the appropriate setting of algorithm's own parameters according to the problem. In this study, various types of Self-adaptive Harmony searches were investigated and the characteristics of optimization were categorized. Six algorithms with a differentiation of optimization process were applied and compared with not only the mathematical optimization problem, but also the engineering problem, which has been applied widely in the algorithm performance comparisons. The performance of each algorithm was compared, and the statistical performance indicators were used to evaluate the application results quantitatively.

In this paper a watermarking algorithm is proposed to optimize the capacity of the digital watermark insertion in an experimental threshold using the characteristics of human visual system(HVS), adaptive scale factors, and weight functions based on discrete wavelet transform. After the original image is decomposed by a 3-level discrete wavelet transform, the watermarks for capacity optimization are inserted into all subbands except the baseband, by applying the important coefficients from the experimental threshold in the wavelet region. The adaptive scale factors and weight functions based on HVS are considered for the capacity optimization of the digital watermark insertion in order to enhance the robustness and invisibility. The watermarks are consisted of gaussian random sequences and detected by correlation. The experimental results showed that this algorithm can preserve a fine image quality against various attacks such as the JPEG lossy compression, noise addition, cropping, blurring, sharpening, linear and non-linear filtering, etc.

Restored image is always lower quality than original one due to distortion and noise. The purpose of image restoration is to improve the image quality by fixing the noise or distortion information. One category of spatial filters for image restoration is linear filter. This filter algorithm is easily implemented and can be suppressed the Gaussian noise effectively, but not so good performance for spot or impulse noise. In this paper, we propose the nonlinear spatial filter algorithm for image restoration called the optimal adaptive multistage filter(OAMF). The OAMF is used to reduce the filtering time, increases the noise suppression ratio and preserves the edge information. The OAMF optimizes the adaptive multistage filter(AMF) by using weight learning algorithm of back-propagation learning algorithm. Simulation results of this filter algorithm are presented and discussed.

This paper presents an optimal design method of a hybrid structural control system considering multi-hazard. Unlike a typical structural control system in which one system is designed for one specific type of hazard, a simultaneous optimal design method for both active and passive control systems is proposed for the mitigation of seismic and wind induced vibration responses of structures. As a numerical example, an optimal design problem is illustrated for a hybrid mass damper(HMD) and 30 viscous dampers which are installed on a 30 story building structure. In order to solve the optimization problem, a self-adaptive Harmony Search(HS) algorithm is adopted. Harmony Search algorithm is one of the meta-heuristic evolutionary methods for the global optimization, which mimics the human player's tuning process of musical instruments. A self-adaptive, dynamic parameter adjustment algorithm is also utilized for the purpose of broad search and fast convergence. The optimization results shows that the performance and effectiveness of the proposed system is superior with respect to a reference hybrid system in which the active and passive systems are independently optimized.

In this paper, the dynamic buffering based smart OTT platform was proposed, and analyzed for adaptive bit-rate video delivery with the optimization of HLS (HTTP Live Streaming). This platform consists of the software platform between sever and client which detects the bandwidth capacity, and adjusts the quality of the streaming for multiple bit-rates resolutions. In order to apply adaptive buffering, two buffers are added to the basic HLS player, and each buffer is responsible for constantly buffering a previous and the next channels relative to the current channel. This adaptive transmitting with smart OTT platform is superior to delivering a static video file at a single buffering, because the video stream of adaptive double buffers can be switched streaming according to client's available network speed. As a result, this proposed smart OTT can be cooperated to the application of HLS server with segmented H.265 MPEG-2 TS video & m3u8 files with its information based on the optimized transmission channel state of live and VOD, and applied to PLC transmission, too.

In this paper, the optimum transmission method is proposed to save the energy and to increase the throughput of the adaptive modulation mobile radio system with frame length control. Traditionally, adaptive modulation has been used to improve the throughput using the power margin of the system design. Considering the frame length vs energy saving and adaptive modulation, the optimum transmission method is proposed for hub and mobile station each.

본 논문은 특정 응용에 적합한 퍼지 제어기의 최적 설계 파라메터(퍼지 규칙과 소속 함수)를 찾는데 역전파 학습 과정과 유전 알고리즘을 결합한 Lamarckian 상호적응 기법을 이용한 뉴로-퍼지 제어기의 새로운 설계 방법을 제안한다. 설계 파라메타들은 진화에 의한 전역적 탐색을 통해 높은 포함값과 유용한 퍼지 규칙들을 갖는 규칙 베이스와 작은 근사화 오차와 좋은 제어 성능을 갖는 소속 함수들을 얻도록 제어기간 파라메타 조절을 수행하며, 학습에 의한 국부적 탐색을 통해 각 퍼지 제어기가 원하는 제어 결과를 나타내도록 제어기내 파라메타 조절을 수행한다. 제안한 상호적응 설계 방법은 유전 알고리즘의 모든 세대에서 역전파 학습이 이루어지므로 보다 좋은 근사화 능력을 나타나고, 사용한 무게 중심 비퍼지화기가 정확한 비퍼지화값을 계산하므로 보다 좋은 제어 성능을 가지며, 퍼지 규칙 베이스와 소속 함수들의 최적화 탐색 과정이 입출력 공간의 같은 퍼지 분할 상에서 통합된 적응 함수에 의하여 동시에 수행되므로 탐색을 위한 작업 공간이 아주 작아지는 장점이 있다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 Lamarckian 상호 적응에 의해 얻어진 FLC가 퍼지 규\ulcorner 수, 근사화 능력, 제어 성능등 모든면에서 다른 방법에 의해 얻어진 FLC보다 가장 우수함을 보여준다.
