In this paper, we apply the evolutionary algorithm to the combinatorial optimization problem. Evolutionary algorithm useful for the optimization of the large space problem. This paper propose a method for the reuse of wastes of light water in atomic reactor system. These wastes contain several reusable elements, and they should be carefully selected and blended to satisfy requirements as an input material to the heavy water atomic reactor system. This problem belongs to an NP-hard like the 0/1 knapsack problem. Two evolutionary strategies are used as approximation algorithms in the highly constrained combinatorial optimization problem. One is the traditional strategy, using random operator with evaluation function, and the other is heuristic based search that uses the vector operator reducing between goal and current status. We also show the method which perform the feasible test and solution evaluation by using the vectored knowledge in problem domain. Finally, We compare the simulation results of using random operator and vector operator for such combinatorial optimization problems.

지난 10년 동안 유전 알고리즘은 어렵고 복잡한 다양한 문제들을 해결하기 위한 새로운 방법으로 인식되어왔다. 이러한 유전 알고리즘의 성능은 알고리즘 내에 구현되는 여러 연산자들에 좌우된다. 따라서 많은 연구자들이 새로운 연산자 개발에 관심을 가져 왔었다. 특히, 가장 널리 알려진 조합최적화 문제 중에 하나인 알려진 traveling salesman problem (TSP)의 경우 NP-hard문제로 분류되어 현재까지 이를 해결하기 위한 다양한 유전 연산자들이 개발되어 왔었다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 TSP 문제를 test problem로 이용하여 이를 해결하기 위한 새로운 유전 연산자 특히 교차 (Crossover Operator) 연산자들을 제안하고 기존의 다양한 연산자들과 비교를 통해서 성능을 입증한다.

전통적인 job shop 일정계획문제는 NP_hard 문제로 조합최적화 문제이다 일반적인 가정은 job이 방문하는 기계들의 경로가 고정되어 있다는 것이다. 경로 유연성을 가지는 job shop 일정계획문제는 job이 방문하는 기계들의 경로가 고정되어져 있지 않다는 것이다. 이러한 경우에 전통적인 job shop 문제를 복잡하게 만든다. 경로 유연성을 가지는 job shop 문제도 NP-hard 문제이다. 그러므로 휴레스틱이나 AI 기법들을 사용하는 하는 것이 불가피하게 되었다. 유전 알고리즘은 매우 복잡한 조합 최적화문제인 job shop 일정계획문제에 적용되어지고 있다. 이 논문은 최대완료시간(makespan)으로 경로 유연성을 가지는 job shop 일정계획문제를 풀기 위한 유전 알고리즘을 제시하고자 한다. 먼저 경로 유연성을 가지는 job shop 일정계획문제에 대한 정의를 내리고 유전 알고리즘을 구축하기 위한 첫 단계로 유전적 표현 즉, 개체 표현방법에 대해 설명하고 유전 연산자의 소개 그리고 알고리즘 재생과정을 제시하고 수치실험을 통해 알고리즘이 양질의 일정계획을 찾을 수 있다는 것을 보이고자 한다.

배낭 문제는 조합 최적화 문제로서, 다항 시간(polynomial time)에 풀리지 않는 NP-hard 문제이다 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 기존에는 DNA 컴퓨팅 기법과 GA 등을 사용하여 해결하였다. 하지만 기존의 방법들은 DNA의 정확한 특성을 고려하지 않아, 실제 실험과의 결과 차이가 발생하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 DNA 컴퓨팅 실험 과정에서 발생하는 DNA 조작 오류를 최소화하고, 보다 정확한 예측을 위해 함수 언어인 Haskell을 이용한 코드 최적화 DNA-Haskell을 제안한다. 코드 최적화 DNA-Haskell은 배낭 문제 중 (0,1)-배낭 문제에 적용하였고, 그 결과 기존의 DNA 컴퓨팅 방법보다 실험적 오류를 최소화하였으며, 또한 적합한 해를 빠른 시간 내에 찾을 수 있었다.

In the design of mobile wireless communication system, base station location is one of the most important parameters. Designing base station location, the cost must be minimized by combining various, complex parameters. We can solve this problem by combining optimization algorithm, such as Simulated Annealing, Tabu Search, Genetic Algorithm, Random Walk Algorithm that have been used extensively fur global optimization. This paper shows the 4 kinds of algorithm to be applied to the optimization of base station location for communication system and then compares, analyzes the results and shows optimization process of algorithm.

These papers propose an evolutionary algorithm for re-using output of waste fuel of light water reactor system in nuclear power plants. Evolutionary algorithm is useful for optimization of the large space problem. The wastes contain several re-useable elements, and they should be carefully selected and blended to satisfy requirements as input material to the heavy water nuclear reactor system. This problem belongs to a NP-hard like the 0/1 Knapsack problem. Two evolutionary strategies are used as a, pp.oximation algorithms in the highly constrained combinatorial optimization problem. One is the traditional strategy, using random operator with evaluation function, and the other is heuristic based search that uses the vector operator reducing between goal and current status. We also show the method, which performs the feasible teat and solution evaluation by using the vectorized data in problem. Finally, We compare the simulation results of using random operator and vector operator for such combinatorial optimization problems.

This paper introduces a new optimization algorithm which is combined with genetic algorithm and random tabu search method. Genetic algorithm is a random search algorithm which can find the global optimum without converging local optimum. And tabu search method is a very fast search method in convergent speed. The optimizing ability and convergent characteristics of a new combined optimization algorithm is identified by using a test function which have many local optimums and an optimum allocation of pipe support. The caculation results are compared with the existing genetic algorithm.

Constraint Programming and Optimization have developed in different fields to solve common problems in real world. In particular, constraint propagation and linear Programming are their own fundamental and complementary techniques with the potential for integration to benefit each other. This intersection has evoked the efforts to combine both for a solution method to combinatorial optimization problems. Attempts to combine them have mainly focused on incorporating either technique into the framework of the other with traditional models left intact. This paper argues that integrating both techniques into an old modeling fame loses advantages from another and the integration should be molded in a new framework to be able to exploit advantages from both. The paper propose a declarative modeling framework in which the structure of the constraints indicates how constraint programming and optimization solvers can interact to solve problems.

Ant Algorithm is used to find the solution of Combinatorial Optimization Problems. Real ants are capable of finding the shortest path from a food source to their nest without using visual informations. This behavior of real ants has inspired ant algorithm. There are various versions of Ant Algorithm. Ant Colony System (ACS) is introduced lately. ACS is applied to the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) for verifying the availability of ACS and evaluating the performance of ACS. ACS find a good solution for TSP When ACS is applied to different Combinatorial Optimization Problems, ACS uses the same parameters and strategies that were used for TSP. In this paper, ACS is applied to the Multicast Routing Problem. This Problem is to find the paths from a source to all destination nodes. This definition differs from that of TSP and differs from finding paths which are the shortest paths from source node to each destination nodes. We introduce parameters and strategies of ACS for Multicasting Routing Problem.
