In this paper, we consider the Location-Routing Problem with simultaneous pickup and delivery (LRPSPD) which is a general case of the location-routing problem. The LRPSPD is defined as finding locations of the depots and designing vehicle routes in such a way that pickup and delivery demands of each customer must be performed with same vehicle and the overall cost is minimized. Since the LRPSPD is an NP-hard problem, we propose a hybrid heuristic approach based on genetic algorithms (GA) and simulated annealing (SA) to solve the problem. To evaluate the performance of the proposed approach, we conduct an experimental study and compare its results with those obtained by a branch-and-cut algorithm on a set of instances derived from the literature. Computational results indicate that the proposed hybrid algorithm is able to find optimal or very good quality solutions in a reasonable computation time.

In this paper, a shape-based block layout (SBL) approach is presented to solve the facility layout problem with unequal-area and fixed shapes. The SBL approach employs hybrid genetic algorithm (Hybrid-GA) to find a good solution and the concept of bay structure is used. In the typical facility layout problem with unequal area and fixed shapes, the given geometric constraints of unequal-area and fixed shapes are mostly approximated to original shape by aspect ratio. Thus, the layout results require extensive manual revision to create practical layouts and it produces irregular building shapes and too much unusable spaces. Experimental results show that a SBL model is able to produce better solution and to create more practical layouts than those of existing approaches.

본 논문에서는 유전자 알고리즘의 진화 연산을 이용하여 기지국의 위치와 송신전력을 최적화하는 알고리즘을 구현하였다. 기지국의 위치와 송신 전력을 실수형 파라미터로 정의하며 관련된 유전 연산자를 설계하였다. 최적화의 방향은 커버리지, 송신 전력, 경제성 효율이 고려되도록 다중 목적함수를 제안하였다. 본 논문에서 구현한 알고리즘음 최적 해를 직관적으로 알 수 있는 상황에 적용하여 검증하였으며 비균일 트래픽 분포를 가정한 상황에 대해 목적함수의 가중치에 따라 최적화를 수행하였다.

A mixed method between $H_2\;and\;H_{\infty}$ control are widely applied to systems which has parameter perturbation and uncertain model to obtain an optimal robust controller. Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motors are widely used for high performance control applications. Conventional PID controller only provides satisfactory performance for set-point regulation. However, with the presence of nonlinearities, uncertainties and perturbations in the system, conventional PID is not sufficient to achieve an optimal robust controller. This paper presents an approach to ease designing a Mixed $H_2/H_{\infty}$ PID controller for controlling speed of Brushless DC motors and the genetic algorithm is used to solve the optimized problems. Numerical results are shown to prove that the performance in the proposed controller is better than that in the optimal PID controller using LQR approach.

Connected-(r,s)-out of-(m,n) : F system is an important topic in redundancy design of the complex system reliability and it's maintenance policy. Previous studies applied Monte Carlo simulation and genetic, simulated annealing algorithms to tackle the difficulty of maintenance policy problem. These algorithms suggested most suitable maintenance cycle to optimize maintenance pattern of connected-(r,s)-out of-(m,n) : F system. However, genetic algorithm is required long execution time relatively and simulated annealing has improved computational time but rather poor solutions. In this paper, we propose the ant colony optimization approach for connected-(r,s)-out of-(m,n) : F system that determines maintenance cycle and minimum unit cost. Computational results prove that ant colony optimization algorithm is superior to genetic algorithm, simulated annealing and tabu search in both execution time and quality of solution.

In this study, we introduce a neurofuzzy approach to the design of fuzzy controllers. The development process exploits key technologies of Computational Intelligence (CI), namely, genetic algorithms (GA) and neurofuzzy networks. The crux of the design methodology deals with the selection and determination of optimal values of the scaling factors of fuzzy controllers, which are essential to the entire optimization process. First, the tuning of the scaling factors of the fuzzy controller is carried out. Next, we form a nonlinear mapping for the scaling factors, which are realized by GA-based neurofuzzy networks by using a fuzzy set or fuzzy relation. The proposed approach is applied to control nonlinear systems like the inverted pendulum. Results of comprehensive numerical studies are presented through a detailed comparative analysis.

In this paper, an approach to identify fuzzy rules is proposed. The decision of the optimal number of fuzzy rule is made by means of fuzzy c-means clustering. The identification of the parameters of fuzzy implications is carried out by use of genetic algorithms. For the efficinet and fast parameter identification, the reduction thechnique of search areas of genetica algorithms is proposed. The feasibility of the proposed approach is evaluated through the identification of the fuzzy model to describe an input-output relation of Gas Furnace. Despite the simplicity of the propsed apprach the accuracy of the identified fuzzy model of gas furnace is superior as compared with that of other fuzzy modles.

In this study, we introduce a noble neurogenetic approach to the design of the fuzzy controller. The design procedure dwells on the use of Computational Intelligence (CI), namely genetic algorithms and neurofuzzy networks (NFN). The crux of the design methodology is based on the selection and determination of optimal values of the scaling factors of the fuzzy controllers, which are essential to the entire optimization process. First, tuning of the scaling factors of the fuzzy controller is carried out, and then the development of a nonlinear mapping for the scaling factors is realized by using GA based NFN. The developed approach is applied to an inverted pendulum nonlinear system where we show the results of comprehensive numerical studies and carry out a detailed comparative analysis.

When providing flexible data transmission for future CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access) cellular networks, problems arise in two aspects: transmission rate. This paper has proposed an approach to maximize the cellular network capacity by combining the genetic transmission rate allocation and a rapid power control algorithm. We present a genetic chromosome representation to express call drop numbers and transmission rate to control mobile's transmission power levels while handling their flexible transmission rates. We suggest a rapid power control algorithm, which is based on optimal control theory and Steffenson acceleration technique comparing with the existing algorithms. Computer simulation results showed effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed algorithm Conclusively, our proposed scheme showed high potential for increasing the cellular network capacity and it can be the fundamental basis of future research.

We study the problem of designing at minimum cost a two-connected network topology such that the shortest cycle to which each edge belongs does not exceed a given maximum number of hops. This problem is considered as part of network planning and arises in the design of backbone networks. We propose a genetic algorithm approach that uses a solution representation, in which the connectivity and ring constraints can be easily encoded. We also propose a crossover operator that ensures a generated solution is feasible. By doing so, the checking of constraints is avoided and no repair mechanism is required. We carry out experimental evaluations to investigate the solution representation issues and GA operators for the network design problem.
