This paper presents an efficient algorithm for determining the location, size and number of capacitors in unbalanced radial distribution system. The objective function formulated consists of two terms: cost for energy loss and cost related to capacitor purchase and capacitor installation. The cost function associated with capacitor placement is considered as step function due to banks of standard discrete capacities. Genetic algorithms(GA) are used to obtain the population is derived. The strings in each population consist of the bus number index and size of capacitors to be installed. In order to determine the number of capacitor placement, the length mutation operator is used. Its efficiency is proved through the application in unbalanced radial distribution systems made of 10 buses with 9 distribution lines and 25 buses with 24 distribution lines.

There are many methods to find solutions for Integer Programming problems (IPs) such as the Branch-Bound philosophy or the Cutting Plane algorithm. However, most of them have a problem that is the explosion of sets in the computing process. In addition, GA is known as a heuristic search algorithm for solutions of optimization problems. It is started from a random initial guess solution and attempting to find one that is the best under some criteria and conditions. The paper will study an artificial intelligent method to solve IPs by using Genetic Algorithms (GAs). The original solution of this was presented in the papers of Fabricio Olivetti de Francaand and Kimmo Nieminen [2003]. However, both have several limitations which causes could be operations in GAs. The paper proposes a method to upgrade these operations and computational results are also shown to support these upgrades.

A method is proposed which searches for optimal structures of Neural Networks (NN) using Genetic Algorithm (GA). The purpose of the method lies in not only finding an optimal NN structure but also leading us to the goal of self-organized control system that acquires its structure and its functionality by itself depending on its environment.

In this paper we describe a new method for multimodal function optimization using genetic algorithms(GAs). We propose adaptation rules for GA parameters such as population size, crossover probability and mutation probability. In the self organizing genetic algorithm(SOGA), SOGA parameters change according to the adaptation rules. Thus, we do not have to set the parameters manually. We discuss about SOGA and those of other approaches for adapting operator probabilities in GAs. The validity of the proposed algorithm will be verified in a simulation example of system identification.

사용자를 인증하는데 생체인식(biometrics)을 사용하는 것은 보안성과 편리성에서 우수함에도 불구하고, 생체 정보를 사용하는 전형적인 인증 알고리즘은 스마트카드(smart cards)와 같은 자원이 한정된 장치에서는 실행되지 못할 수도 있다. 따라서, 제한된 자원을 갖는 장치에서 생체인식 과정이 수행되기 위해서는 적은 메모리와 처리 능력을 요구하는 가벼운 인증 알고리즘의 개발이 필요하다. 또한 생물학적 특징들 중에서 얼굴에 의한 인증은 인간에게 보다 친숙하고 얼굴 영상 획득이 비강제성을 띤다는 점에서 사용하기 가장 편리한 생체인식 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 생체인식 기술 연구의 일환으로 새로운 얼굴 인중 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이 얼굴 인증 알고리즘은 두 가지 면에서 새로운 특성을 갖는다. 그 하나는 유전자 알고리즘(GA: Genetic Algorithms) 에 의해 추출된 특징 집합(feature set)을 입력벡터로 사용하는 Support Vector Machines(SVM)을 얼굴인증에 이용함으로써 메모리 요구량을 감소시킨다는 것이다. 다른 하나는, 필요에 따라 특징 집합의 크기 조절에 대한 시스템 파라미터를 조절함으로써, 인식률은 다소 감소하더라도 인증 과정에 필요한 메모리양을 더욱 더 감소시킬 수 있다는 것이다. 이러한 특성은 메모리양이 한정된 장치에서 얼굴 인중 알고리즘을 수행할 수 있게 하는 데 상당히 효과적이다. 다양한 변화가 있는 얼굴 데이터베이스들에 대하여 실험한 결과, GA에 의해 선택된 식별력이 우수한 특징들을 SVM의 입력벡터로 사용하는 제안한 얼굴 인증 알고리즘이, GA에 의한 특징 선택 과정이 없는 알고리즘보다 정확성과 메모리 요구량에서 우수한 성능을 보임을 알 수 있다. 또한 시스템 파라미터의 변경 실험에 의해 선택될 특징의 개수가 조절될 수 있음을 보인다.

Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) which has been well known to solve continuous problems can be applied to discrete combinatorial problems. Several DPSO (Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization) algorithms have been proposed to solve discrete problems such as traveling salesman, vehicle routing, and flow shop scheduling problems. They are different in representation of position and velocity vectors, operation mechanisms for updating vectors. In this paper, the performance of 5 DPSOs is analyzed by applying to traditional Traveling Salesman Problems. The experiment shows that DPSOs are comparable or superior to a genetic algorithm (GA). Also, hybrid PSO combined with local optimization (i.e., 2-OPT) provides much improved solutions. Since DPSO requires more computation time compared with GA, however, the performance of hybrid DPSO is not better than hybrid GA.

The floorplanning problem is an essential design step in VLSI layout design and it is how to place rectangular modules as density as possible. And then, as the DSM advances, the VLSI chip becomes more congested even though more metal layers are used for routing. Usually, a VLSI chip includes several buses. As design increases in complexity, bus routing becomes a heavy task. To ease bus routing and avoid unnecessary iterations in physical design, we need to consider bus planning in early floorplanning stage. In this paper, we propose a floorplanning method for topological constraint consisting of bus constraint and memory constraint. The proposed algorithms based on Genetic Algorithm(GA) is adopted a sequence pair. For selection control, new objective functions are introduced for topological constraint. Studies on floor planning and cell placement have been reported as being applications of GA to the LSI layout problem. However, no studies have ever seen the effect of applying GA in consideration of topological constraint. Experimental results show improvement of bus and memory constraint.

This paper is concerned with a sequencing problem in mixed model assembly lines, which is important to efficient utilization of the lines. In the problem, we deal with the two objectives of minimizing the risk of stoppage and leveling part usage, and consider sequence-dependent setup time. In this paper, we present a genetic algorithm(GA) suitable for the multi-objective optimization problem. The aim of multi-objective optimization problems is to find all possible non-dominated solutions. The proposed algorithm is compared with existing multi-objective GAs such as vector evaluated GA, Pareto GA, and niched Pareto GA. The results show that our algorithm outperforms the compared algorithms in finding good solutions and diverse non-dominated solutions.

This paper introduces an identification method for nonlinear models in the form of rule-based Fuzzy-Neural Networks (FNN). In this study, the development of the rule-based fuzzy neural networks focuses on the technologies of Computational Intelligence (CI), namely fuzzy sets, neural networks, and genetic algorithms. The FNN modeling and identification environment realizes parameter identification through synergistic usage of clustering techniques, genetic optimization and a complex search method. We use a HCM (Hard C-Means) clustering algorithm to determine initial apexes of the membership functions of the information granules used in this fuzzy model. The parameters such as apexes of membership functions, learning rates, and momentum coefficients are then adjusted using the identification algorithm of a GA hybrid scheme. The proposed GA hybrid scheme effectively combines the GA with the improved com-plex method to guarantee both global optimization and local convergence. An aggregate objective function (performance index) with a weighting factor is introduced to achieve a sound balance between approximation and generalization of the model. According to the selection and adjustment of the weighting factor of this objective function, we reveal how to design a model having sound approximation and generalization abilities. The proposed model is experimented with using several time series data (gas furnace, sewage treatment process, and NOx emission process data from gas turbine power plants).

Cloud computing technology has been developing at an increasing expansion rate. Today most of firms are using this technology, making improving the quality of service one of the most important issues. To achieve this, the system must operate efficiently with less idle time and without deteriorating the customer satisfaction. This paper focuses on enhancing the efficiency of a conventional Genetic Algorithm (GA) for task scheduling in cloud computing using Fuzzy Logic (FL). This study collected a group of task schedules and assessed the quality of each task schedule with the user expectation. The work iterates the best scheduling order genetic operations to make the optimal task schedule. General GA takes considerable time to find the correct scheduling order when all the fitness function parameters are the same. GA is an intuitive approach for solving problems because it covers all possible aspects of the problem. When this approach is combined with fuzzy logic (FL), it behaves like a human brain as a problem solver from an existing database (Memory). The present scheme compares GA with and without FL. Using FL, the proposed system at a 100, 400 and 1000 sample size*5 gave 70%, 57% and 47% better improvement in the task time compared to GA.
