This paper is presented by the application of parallel adaptive evolutionary algorithm(PAEA) to search an optimal solution of a thermal unit commitment problem. The adaptive evolutionary algorithm(AEA) takes the merits of both a genetic algorithm(GA) and an evolution strategy(ES) in an adaptive manner to use the global search capability of GA and the local search capability of ES. To reduce the execution time of AEA, the developed algorithm is implemented on an parallel computer which is composed of 16 processors. To handle the constraints efficiently and to apply to Parallel adaptive evolutionary algorithm(PAEA), the states of thermal unit are represented by means of real-valued strings that display continuous terms of on/off state of generating units and are involved in their minimum up and down time constraints. And the violation of other constraints are handled by repairing operator. The procedure is applied to the $10{\sim}100$ thermal unit systems, and the results show capabilities of the PAEA.

다목적 함수 최적화 문제(Multi-objective Optimization Problems : MOPs)는 공학적인 문제를 풀고자 할 때 자주 접하게 되는 대표적인 문제 중 하나이다. 공학자들이 다루는 실세계 최적화 문제들은 몇 개의 경합하는 목적 함수(objective function) 들로 이루어진 문제일 경우가 많다. 본 논문에서는 다목적 함수 최적화 문제의 정의를 소개하고 이 문제를 풀기 위한 몇 가지 접근법을 소개한다. 먼저 서론에서는 파레토 최적해(Pareto optimal solution) 의 개념을 이용한 기존의 최적화 알고리즘과 이와는 달리 게임 이론(Game Theory) 으로부터 도출된 최적화 알고리즘인 내쉬 유전자 알고리즘(Nash Genetic Algorithm Nash GA) 그리고 본 논문에서 제안하는 공진화 알고리즘의 기반이 되는 진화적 안정 전략 (Evolutionary Stable Strategy : ESS) 의 이론적 배경을 소개한다. 또 본론에서는 다목적 함수 최적화 문제와 파레토 최적 해의 정의를 소개하고 다목적 함수 최적화 문제를 풀기 위하여 유전자 알고리즘을 진화적 게임 이론(Evolutionary Game Theory : EGT) 에 적용시킨 내쉬 유전자 알고리즘과 본 논문에서 새로이 제안하는 공진화 알고리즘의 구조를 설명하고 이 두 가지 알고리즘을 대표적인 다목적 함수 최적화 문제에 적용하고 결과를 비교 검토함으로써 진화적 게임 이론의 두 가지 아이디어 내쉬의 균형(Equilibrium) 과 진화적 안정전략 에 기반한 최적화 알고리즘들이 다목적 함수 문제의 최적해 를 탐색할 수 있음을 확인한다.

최적화 방법이 구조설계 분야에 사용된지 근30년이 지난 오늘 이론적 측면에서 보면 상당한 발전이 있어 왔다고 해도 과언이 아니다. 실무 입장에 볼 때 과연 얼마만큼 최적화 방법이 현실의 설계업무 속에 자리잡혀 있는가를 곰곰히 되새겨 볼 필요가 있다고 본다. 사실 실제와 이론 사이의 괴리를 줄여보려는 노력에서, 최적호 기술 분야에서도 기존의 확정론적 최적화 방법만이 아니라 확률론적 최적화방법에 대한 연구도 시작되었으리라 본다. 본문에서 언급한 Genetic Algorithm과 Evolutionary Strategy도 기존의 최적화 방법과 마찬가지 이유에서 복잡한 현실문제의 최적해를 추구하기 위한 또 하나의 방법으로 인식 될 필요가 있다고 보아 이 두 방법에 대한 개략적인 내용을 적었다.

A competitive coevolutionary algorithm is a probabilistic search method that imitates coevolution process through evolutionary arms race. The algorithm has been used to solve adversarial problems. In the algorithms, the selection of competitors is needed to evaluate the fitness of an individual. The goal of this study is to compare and analyze several competition strategies in terms of solution quality, convergence speed, balance between competitive coevolving species, population diversity, etc. With two types of test-bed problems, game problems and solution-test problems, extensive experiments are carried out. In the game problems, sampling strategies based on fitness have a risk of providing bad solutions due to evolutionary unbalance between species. On the other hand, in the solution-test problems, evolutionary unbalance does not appear in any strategies and the strategies using information about competition results are efficient in solution quality. The experimental results indicate that the tournament competition can progress an evolutionary arms race and then is successful from the viewpoint of evolutionary computation.

The problem of automated stacking cranes (ASC) dispatching in container terminals is addressed in this paper. We propose a heuristic-based ASC dispatching approach which adopts multi-criteria decision strategy. By aggregating different criteria the proposed strategy can consider multiple aspects of the dispatching situation and make robust decision in various situations. A multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (MOEA) is adopted to tune the weights associated to each criteria to minimize both the quay crane delay and external truck delay. The proposed approach is validated by comparison with different dispatching heuristics and simulation results obtained confirms its effectiveness.

This paper describes a strategy of a daily optimal operational scheduling on the industrial cogeneration system. The cogeneration system selected to establish the scheduling consists of three units and several auxiliary devices which include three auxiliary boilers, t재 waste boilers and three sludge incinerators. One unit generated electrical and thermal energy using the back pressure turbine. The other two units generate the energy using the extraction condensing turbine. Three auxiliary devices operate to supply energy to the loads with three units. The cogeneration system is able to supply enough the thermal energy to the thermal load, however it can not sufficiently supply the electric energy to the electrical load. Therefore the insufficient electric energy is compensated by buying electrical energy from utility. In this paper, the evolutionary algorithms was applied to establish the optimal scheduling for the cogeneration systems. Also the GUI System was developed using established mathematics medeling and evolutionary algorithms in order that non-experts are able to establish operational scheduling. This results revel that the proposed modeling and strategy can be effectively applied to cogeneration system for paper mill.

This paper presents an endosymbiotic evolutionary algorithm (EEA) to solve both problems of line balancing and model sequencing in a mixed-model two-sided assembly line (MMtAL) simultaneously. It is important to have a proper balancing and model sequencing for an efficient operation of MMtAL. EEA imitates the natural evolution process of endosymbionts, which is an extension of existing symbiotic evolutionary algorithms. It provides a proper balance between parallel search with the separated individuals representing partial solutions and integrated search with endosymbionts representing entire solutions. The strategy of localized coevolution and the concept of steady-state genetic algorithms are used to improve the search efficiency. The experimental results reveal that EEA is better than two compared symbiotic evolutionary algorithms as well as a traditional genetic algorithm in solution quality.

This paper suggests a new methodology of evolutionary computations - an Adaptive Evolutionary Algorithm (AEA) for solving the Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) problem which has piecewise quadratic cost functions and prohibited operating zones with many local minima. AEA uses a genetic algorithm (GA) and an evolution strategy (ES) in an adaptive manner in order to take merits of two different evolutionary computations: global search capability of GA and local search capability of ES. In the reproduction procedure, proportions of the population by GA and the population by ES are adaptively modulated according to the fitness. Case studies illustrate the superiority of the proposed methods to existing conventional methods in power generation cost and computation time. The results demonstrate that the AEA can be applied successfully in the solution of ELD with piecewise quadratic cost functions and prohibited operating zones

This paper presents an power system optimization method which solves real and reactive power dispatch problems using evolutionary computation such as genetic algorithms(GAs), evolutionary programming(EP), and evolution strategy(ES). Many conventional methods to this problem have been proposed in the past, but most these approaches have the common defect of being caught to a local minimum solution. Recently, global search methods such as GAs, EP, and ES are introduced. The proposed methods, applied to the IEEE 30-bus system, were run for 12 other exogenous parameters. Each simulation result, by which evolutionary computations are compared and analyzed, shows the possibility of applications of evolutionary computation to large scale power systems.

Game theory is a method of mathematical analysis developed to study the decision making process. In 1928, Von Neumann mathematically proved that every two-person, zero-sum game with many pure finite strategies for each player is deterministic. In the early 50's, Nash presented another concept as the basis for a generalization of Von Neumann's theorem. Another central achievement of game theory is the introduction of evolutionary game theory, by which agents can play optimal strategies in the absence of rationality. Through the process of Darwinian selection, a population of agents can evolve to an Evolutionary Stable Strategy (ESS) as introduced by Maynard Smith in 1982. Keeping pace with these game theoretical studies, the first computer simulation of coevolution was tried out by Hillis. Moreover, Kauffman proposed the NK model to analyze coevolutionary dynamics between different species. He showed how coevolutionary phenomenon reaches static states and that these states are either Nash equilibrium or ESS in game theory. Since studies concerning coevolutionary phenomenon were initiated, there have been numerous other researchers who have developed coevolutionary algorithms. In this paper we propose a new coevolutionary algorithm named Game theory based Coevolutionary Algorithm (GCEA) and we confirm that this algorithm can be a solution of evolutionary problems by searching the ESS. To evaluate this newly designed approach, we solve several test Multiobjective Optimization Problems (MOPs). From the results of these evaluations, we confirm that evolutionary game can be embodied by the coevolutionary algorithm and analyze the optimization performance of our algorithm by comparing the performance of our algorithm with that of other evolutionary optimization algorithms.
