We present an efficient design approach for a plasmonic slot waveguide using a genetic algorithm. The analyzed structure consists of a nanometric slot in a thin metallic film embedded within a dielectric. To achieve high confinement without long propagation length, the thickness and width of the slot are optimally designed in order to optimize the figures of merit including mode confinement and propagation length. The optimized design is based on the finite element method and enhances the guiding and focusing of light power propagation.

다층 신경망의 학습에 있어서 역전파 알고리즘은 시스템이 지역적 최소치에 빠질수 있고,탐색공간의 피라미터들에 의해 신경망 시스템의 성능이 크게 좌우된다는 단점이 있다.이러한 단점을 보완하기 의해 유전자 알고리즘이 신경망의 학습에 도입도었다.그러나 유전자 알고리즘에는 역전파 알고리즘과 같은 미세 조정되는 지역적 탐색(fine-tuned local search) 을 위한 메카니즘이 존재하지 않으므로 시스템이 전역적 최적해로 수렴하는데 많은 시간을 필요로 한다는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 역전파 알고리즘의 기울기 강하 기법(gradient descent method)을 교배나 돌연변이와 같은 유전 연산자로 둠으로써 유전자 알고리즘에 지역적 미세 조정(local fine-tuning)을 위한 메카니즘을 제공해주는 새로운 형태의 GA-BP 방법을 제안한다.제안된 방법의 유용성을 보이기 위해 3-패러티 비트(3-parity bit) 문제에 실험하였다.

This paper presents a tool called Quality-Cost optimization system (QCOS), which integrates Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) and Quality Function Deployment (QFD), for tradeoff between quality and cost of the unitized metal curtain-wall unit. A construction owner as the external customer pursues to maximize the quality of the curtain-wall unit. However, the contractor as the internal customer pursues to minimize the cost involved in designing, manufacturing and installing the curtain-wall unit. It is crucial for project manager to find the tradeoff point which satisfies the conflicting interests pursued by the both parties. The system would be beneficial to establish a quality plan satisfying the both parties. Survey questionnaires were administered to the construction owner who has an experience of curtain-wall project, the architects who are the independent assessor, and the contractors who were involved in curtain-wall design and installation. The Customer Requirements (CRs) and their importance weights, the relationship between CRs and Technical Attributes (TAs) consisting of a curtain-wall unit, and the cost ratios of each components consisting curtain-wall unit are obtained from the three groups mentioned previously. The data obtained from the surveys were used as the QFD input to compute the Owner Satisfaction (OS) and Contractor Satisfaction (CS). MOGA is applied to optimize resource allocation under limited budget when multi-objectives, OS and CS, are pursued at the same time. The deterministic multi-objective optimization method using MOGA and QFD is extended to stochastic model to better deal with the uncertainties of QFD input and the variability of QFD output. A case study demonstrates the system and verifies the system conformance.
