In this paper, several network algorithms were tested to find an optimal one for telecommunication network design. Algorithms such as Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm, Ford-Bellman's shortest path algorithm, Prim's minimum spanning tree algorithm, and Kruscal's minimum spanning tree algorithm were reviewed and compared in terms of feasibility and resulted network construction cost. Then an optimal algorithm that is most suitable for telecommunication network design was selected. For more specific and quantitative analysis of the selected algorithm, it was implemented to a real telecommunication network construction site. The analyzed results showed that the suggested design method when compared with the conventional one, reduced the network construction cost considerably. The total network length estimated by the conventional method were 5267 meters while the suggested method resulted in 4807 meters. Thus the new method reduced the total network length by 8.7 percent which is equivalent to 97,469,000 Won of construction cost. Considering the frequent telecommunication network constructions, due to new urban developments in the nation, the economic benefit of the suggested telecommunication network design method will be significant. In addition to the construction cost savings, the suggested telecommunication network design procedure possesses several other economic benefits. Since the design procedure can be standardized and automatized, it can reduce the design cost itself and the skill acquirement periods required for new or inapt design crews. Further, due to the standardized and automatized design procedure, any telecommunication network design results can accessed more objectively.

The operation planning of transports used to move blocks is the one of key factors. Furthermore, reducing the running time through the effective plan contributes to pulling forward the whole logistic process of the shipyard and substantially saving the fuel consumption of itself as well. The past researches of the transporter focused on finding only the shortest distances, so called, Manhattan distance. However, these searching approaches cannot help having the significant difference in the real operational time and distance with the minimum cost approach which considers the speed retardation for turns or safety at the intersection. This study suggests the noble transporter's operational model which could take account of the consuming operational time around the crossroads on the shipyard. Concretely, the proposed method guarantees the minimization of transporters' turns and passage number which are huge burdensome to the operation time and the whole planning of transports with the given period. Resultantly, this paper is willing to explain the appropriateness of our approach, compared with the previous ones.

Location-allocation problem is known as one of the important problem faced in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research fielde. There are many variations on this problem for different applications, however, most of them consider no obstacle existing. Since the location-allocation problem with obstacles is very complex and with many infeasible solutions, no direct method is effective to solve it. In this paper we propose a hybrid Genetic Algorithm (hGA) method for solving this problem. The proposed hGA is based on Lagrangian relaxation method and Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm. To enhance the proposed hGA, a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) approach is also adopted to auto-tune the GA parameters.

Proposed are model and its solution algorithm for determining the minimum number of high speed exits and their locations. While the previous researches on exit location aimed to minimize the average runway occuancy time (ROT) of an aircraft mix, the proposed approach is to find the minimum number of exits required to meet maximum allowable ROT. The rationale behind the approach is that the capacity of a runway increases as the ROT decreases down to some value, but not any more even though the ROT keep decreasing below the value. Hence, a maximum allowable ROT might be set up without declining the capacity. The problem is transformed into a shortest path problem on a specially constructed network and Dijkstra's labeling algorithms is employed to solve the problem A hypothetical example is provided to illustrate how the algorithms solves the problem.

To mitigate the performance degradation caused by performance anomaly, a number of channel assignment algorithms have been proposed for multi-rate wireless mesh networks. However, network conditions have not been fully considered for routing process in these algorithms. In this paper, a joint scheme called Multi-rate Dijkstra's Shortest path - Rate Separated (MDSRS) is proposed, combining routing metrics and channel assignment algorithm. In MDSRS, the routing metric are determined through the synthesized deliberations of link costs and rate matches; then the rate separated channel assignment is operated based on the determined routing metric. In this way, the competitions between high and low rate links are avoided, and performance anomaly problem is settled, and the network capacity is efficiently improved. Theoretical analysis and NS-3 simulation results indicate that, the proposed MDSRS can significantly improve the network throughput, and decrease the average end-to-end delay as well as packet loss probability. Performance improvements could be achieved even in the heavy load network conditions.

Internet of Things (IoT) connects several objects with embedded sensors and they are capable of exchanging information between devices to create a smart environment. IoT smart devices have limited resources, such as batteries, computing power, and bandwidth, but comprehensive sensing causes severe energy restrictions, lowering data quality. The main objective of the proposal is to build a hybrid protocol which provides high data quality and reduced energy consumption in IoT sensor network. The hybrid protocol gives a flexible and complete solution for sensor selection problem. It selects a subset of active sensor nodes in the network which will increase the data quality and optimize the energy consumption. Since the unused sensor nodes switch off during the sensing phase, the energy consumption is greatly reduced. The hybrid protocol uses Dijkstra's algorithm for determining the shortest path for sensing data and Ant colony inspired variable path selection algorithm for selecting active nodes in the network. The missing data due to inactive sensor nodes is reconstructed using enhanced belief propagation algorithm. The proposed hybrid method is evaluated using real sensor data and the demonstrated results show significant improvement in energy consumption, data utility and data reconstruction rate compared to other existing methods.

In this paper, we have proposed a new approach of routing and wavelength assignment algorithms, called Possible Available Wavelength (PAW) algorithm. The weight of a link is used as the main factor for routing decision in PAW algorithm. The weight of a link is defined as a function of hop count and available wavelengths. This function includes a determination factor of the number of wavelengths that are being used currently and are supposed to be available after a certain time. The session requests from users will be routed on the links that has the greatest number of link weight by using Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm. This means that the selected lightpath will has the least hop count and the greatest number of possible available wavelengths. The impact of proposed link weight computing function on the blocking probability and link utilization is investigated by means of computer simulation and comparing with the traditional mechanism. The results show that the proposed PAW algorithm can achieve the better performance in terms of the blocking probability and link utilization.

In transportation networks, searching speed and result accuracy are becoming more critical on searching minimum path algorithm. Current $A^*$ algorithm has a big advantage of high searching speed. However, it has disadvantage of complicated searching network and low accuracy rate of finding the minimum path algorithm. Therefore, this study developed $A^*$ algorithm's heuristic function and focused on improving it's disadvantages. Newly developed function in this study contains the area concept, not the line concept. During the progress, this study adopts the idea of a heavier node that remains lighter to the target node is better that the lighter node that becomes heavier when it is connected to the other. Lastly, newly developed algorithm has the feedback function, which allows the larger accuracy value of heuristic than before. This developed algorithm tested on real network, and proved that developed algorithm is useful.

It is difficult to maintain mutes in the mobile ad hoc network (MANET) due to the high probability of disconnected routes break by frequent change of topology. The links can have the different reliability about data transmission due to these characteristics. Hence a measure which can evaluate this reliability and a algorithm which reflects this are required. In this paper, we propose routing algorithm based on reliability about transmission. First the bayesian inference which infers the hypothesis by past information is considered to obtain the link's transmission reliability. The other is that the link-based reliability estimation model which considers each link's reliability additionally is proposed while the standard uses only Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm. the simulation results using NS-2 show that the performance of proposed algorithm is superior to the standard OLSR in terms of throughput and stability.
