Most engineering design problems require analyses or simulations to evaluate objective functions. However, a single simulation can take many hours or even days to finish for many real world problems. As a result, design optimization becomes impossible since they require hundreds or thousands of simulation evaluations. The surrogate-based optimization (SBO) strategy became a remedy for such computationally expensive analyses and simulations. A surrogate-based optimization strategy has been developed in this study in order to improve global optimization performance. The strategy is a heuristic algorithm and it exploits not only multiple surrogates, but also multiple optimizers. Multiple optimizations of multiple surrogate models yield multiple candidate design points of optima. During the sequential sampling process, the algorithm ranks candidate design points, selects the points as many as specified, and builds the improved surrogate model. Various mathematical functions with different numbers of design variables are chosen to compare the proposed method with the other most recent algorithm, MSEGO. The proposed method shows superior performance to the other method.

This paper analyzes properties of the recently developed nonlinear optimization method, Dynamic Encoding Algorithm for Searches (DEAS) [1]. DEAS locates local minima with binary strings (or binary matrices for multi-dimensional problems) by iterating the two operators; bisectional search (BSS) and unidirectional search (UDS). BSS increases binary strings by one digit (i.e., zero or one), while UDS performs increment or decrement to binary strings with no change of string length. Owing to these search routines, DEAS retains the optimization capability that combines the special features of several conventional optimization methods. In this paper, a special feature of BSS and UDS in DEAS is analyzed. In addition, a effective global search strategy is established by using information of DEAS. Effectiveness of the proposed global search strategy is validated through the well-known benchmark functions.

본 논문에서는 자동 독순(automatic lipreading)의 인식기로 쓰이는 은닉 마르코프 모델(HMM: hidden Markov model)의 새로운 확률적 최적화 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 전역 최적화가 가능한 확률적 기법인 모의 담금질과 지역 최적화 기법을 결합하는 것으로써, 알고리즘의 빠른 수렴과 좋은 해로의 수렴을 가능하게 한다. 제안하는 알고리즘이 전역 최적해로 수렴함을 수학적으로 보인다. 제안하는 기법을 통해 HMM을 학습함으로써 기존의 알고리즘이 지역해만을 찾는 단점을 개선함으로써 향상된 독순 성능을 나타냄을 실험으로 보인다.

이동 무선 통신 네트워크를 설계할 때 기지국(BTS), 기지국 콘트롤러(BSC), 이동 교환국(MSC)의 위치는 매우 중요한 파라미터들이다. 기지국의 위치를 설계할 때는 여러 가지 복잡한 변수들을 잘 조합하여 비용이 최소가 되도록 설계해야 한다 이러한 문제를 해결하는데 필요한 알고리듬이 전역 최적화 알고리듬이며, 지금까지 전역 최적화 검색 기술로는 Random Walk, Simulated Annealing, Tabu Search, Genetic Algorithm이 사용되어 왔다. 본 논문은 이동 통신 시스템의 기지국, 기지국 콘트롤러, 이동 교환국의 위치 최적화에 위의 4가지 알고리듬들을 적용하여 각 알고리듬의 결과를 비교 분석하며 알고리듬에 의한 최적화 과정을 보여준다.

We present a procedure for the application of global orthogonal polynomial into an atmospheric re-entry maneuvering problem. This trajectory optimization is imbedded in a family of canonically parameterized optimal control problem. The optimal control problem is transcribed to nonlinear programming via global orthogonal polynomial and is solved a sparse nonlinear optimization algorithm. We analyze the optimal trajectories with respect to the performance of re-entry maneuver.

Harmony search algorithm is an emerging meta-heuristic optimization algorithm, which is inspired by the music improvisation process and can solve different optimization problems. In order to further improve the performance of the algorithm, this paper proposes an improved harmony search algorithm. Key parameters including harmonic memory consideration (HMCR), pitch adjustment rate (PAR), and bandwidth (BW) are optimized as the number of iterations increases. Meanwhile, referring to the genetic algorithm, an improved method to generate a new crossover solutions rather than the traditional mechanism of improvisation. Four complex function optimization and pressure vessel optimization problems were simulated using the optimization algorithm of standard harmony search algorithm, improved harmony search algorithm and exploratory harmony search algorithm. The simulation results show that the algorithm improves the ability to find global search and evolutionary speed. Optimization effect simulation results are satisfactory.

With rapid growth in the complexity of large scale engineering systems, the application of multidisciplinary analysis and design optimization (MDO) in the engineering design process has garnered much attention. MDO addresses the challenge of integrating several different disciplines into the design process. Primary challenges of MDO include computational expense and poor scalability. The introduction of a distributed, collaborative computational environment results in better utilization of available computational resources, reducing the time to solution, and enhancing scalability. SORCER, a Java-based network-centric computing platform, enables analyses and design studies in a distributed collaborative computing environment. Two different optimization algorithms widely used in multidisciplinary engineering design-VTDIRECT95 and QNSTOP-are implemented on a SORCER grid. VTDIRECT95, a Fortran 95 implementation of D. R. Jones' algorithm DIRECT, is a highly parallelizable derivative-free deterministic global optimization algorithm. QNSTOP is a parallel quasi-Newton algorithm for stochastic optimization problems. The purpose of integrating VTDIRECT95 and QNSTOP into the SORCER framework is to provide load balancing among computational resources, resulting in a dynamically scalable process. Further, the federated computing paradigm implemented by SORCER manages distributed services in real time, thereby significantly speeding up the design process. Part 1 covers SORCER and the algorithms, Part 2 presents results for aircraft panel design with curvilinear stiffeners.

Power system analysis, Non-Convex Economic Dispatch (NED) is considered as an open and demanding optimization problem. Despite the fact that realistic ED problems have non-convex cost functions with equality and inequality constraints, conventional search methods have not been able to effectively find the global answers. Considering the great potential of meta-heuristic optimization techniques, many researchers have started applying these techniques in order to solve NED problems. In this paper, a new and efficient approach is proposed based on imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA). The proposed algorithm which is named multi-operator ICA (MuICA) merges three operators with the original ICA in order to simultaneously avoid the premature convergence and achieve the global optimum answer. In this study, the proposed algorithm has been applied to different test systems and the results have been compared with other optimization methods, tending to study the performance of the MuICA. Simulation results are the confirmation of superior performance of MuICA in solving NED problems.
