In this paper, the time slot assignment algorithm, which is based on various transmission interval in TDMA DAMA communication system, has been proposed. The performance of the proposed algorithm and the random assignment algorithm is compared through computer simulations. The simulation results show that the new algorithm can enhance the efficiency of time slot usage much more than the random assignment algorithm. Especially, the lower the congestion of the network is, the higher the efficiency of time slot usage for short transmission interval is.

In this paper, we report a case study on the common due-date assignment and scheduling problem in a paper remanufacturing system that produces corrugated cardboards using collected waste papers for a given set of orders under the make-to-order (MTO) environment. Since the system produces corrugated cardboards in an integrated process and has sequence-dependent setups, the problem considered here can be regarded as common due-date assignment and sequencing on a single machine with sequence-dependent setup times. The objective is to minimize the sum of the penalties associated with due-date assignment, earliness, and tardiness. In the study, the earliness and tardiness penalties were obtained from inventory holding and backorder costs, respectively. To solve the problem, we adopted two types of algorithms: (a) branch and bound algorithm that gives the optimal solutions; and (b) heuristic algorithms. Computational experiments were done on the data generated from the case and the results show that both types of algorithms work well for the case data. In particular, the branch and bound algorithm gave the optimal solutions quickly. However, it is recommended to use the heuristic algorithms for large-sized instances, especially when the solution time is very critical.

We suggest a new energy function that improves the area complexity of the Hopfield Crossbar Network. Through converting data representation to an encoded format, we reduce the number of nodes of the network, and thus reduce the entire size. We apply this approach to the layer assignment problem, and use the modified delayed self-feedback Hopfield Network. Area complexity of the existing network for layer assignment ploblem is improved from O( $N^2L^2$ ) to O($N^2$(log L)$^2$).

This paper presents the assignment motion algorithm unrestricted for code optimization computationally. So, this algorithm is suppressed the unnecessary code motion in order to avoid the superfluous register pressure, we propose the assignment motion algorithm added to the final optimization phase. This paper improves an ambiguous meaning of the predicate. For mixing the basic block level analysis with the instruction level analysis, an ambiguity occurred in Knoop's algorithm. Also, we eliminate an ambiguity of it. Our proposal algorithm improves the runtime efficiency of a program by avoiding the unnecessary recomputations and reexecutions of expressions and assignment statements.

Line planning is an important step to determine the optimal frequencies of trains given the forecasted demand for each train type. The main input data for line planning is the leg traffic demand which can be derived using suitable traffic assignment models. However most assignment models require a line plan, in other words, train frequencies or headways, so that inconsistent results just by the procedural approach to find an optimal line plan after determining leg traffic can be avoided. This paper suggests a unified model that can consider the traffic assignment and line planning, simultaneously. We further provide an elaborated approximation algorithm and, finally, provide experimental results determined for the Korean railway network.

In the sense of eigenstructure (eigenvalues/eignenvectors) assignment, the effectiveness and disturbance suppressibility of a controller depend mainly on the left eigenstructure (eignevalues/left eigenvectors) of a system. On the other hand, the disturbance decouplability is governed by the right eigenstructure (eignevalues/right eigenvectors) of the system. In this paper, in order to obtain a disturbance decouplable as well as effetive and disturbance suppressible controller, a concurrent assignment methodology of the left and right eigenstructure is proposed. The biorthogonality condition between the left and right modal matrix and state selection matrices are used to develop the methodology. The proposed concurrent eigenstructure assignment methodology guarantees that the desired eigenvalues are achieved exactly and the desired left and right eigenvectors are assigned to the best possible (achievable) sets of eigenvectors in the least square sense, respectively. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the validity and usefulness of the proposed methodology.

In labor-intensive enterprise, such as garment factory, assembly line is widely used as a manufacturing process for reducing costs and production time. However, for the sake of the various working capacity of worker, idle or delay may happen and influence the rear processes. If these unforeseeable delay happened continuously, it may influence the whole manufacturing process and a model, which is called limited-cycle model with multiple periods (LCMwMP), is assumed to evaluate the influence risk. In order to minimize the risk, the assignment of the workers is focused on. In this paper, we deal with an assembly line as LCMwMP model when two kinds of workers exist, whose efficiency is assumed to two different groups. We consider an optimization problem for finding an assignment of workers to the line that minimizes total expected risk, which is exchanged to expected cost by reset model of LCMwMP. First, reset model as a simple model of LCMwMP is introduced. Then, some hypotheses of the rules of the optimal worker assignment are proposed and some numerical experiments are researched assuming the processing time as Erlang distribution. Finally, the other rules on other certain conditions are discussed.

A new algorithm for frequency channel assignment in high capacity cellular mobile communication systems is proposed. The algorithm is the advanced type of the fixed channel assignment scheme. It enables calls having all nominal channels busy to be served by adjacent cells have idle channels. Thus, it considerably reduces the blocking probability compared with the fixed channel assignment. Simulation has been performed for a 49-cell system having uniform traffic density hexagonal array as a representative system lay out. Results showed that new algorithm is better than the fixed channel assignment scheme in high capacity cellular mobile communication systems.

One of the essential factors for successful college mathematics class is to provide a strong motivation for learning to students. In this respect, this paper attempted to find out how the letter-writing assignment can change students' learning attitude and enhance their motivation for further mathematical investigation. The process is to have all students write up letters containing a summary of the major points covered during the semester, and to find out how valuable is the letter-writing assignment. The major finding of this research is that the letter-writing assignment makes a notable contribution to the desirable change of students' learning attitude. From this finding, we suggest that the letter-writing assignment be adopted by more math classes and expect that such expansion of the letter-writing assignment would have a positive influence on the students' learning attitude.
