현재 센서네트워크 분야는 여러 방면에서 이슈가 되고 있다. 해양 센서네크워크는 지상에서의 전파를 사용할 수 없으므로 음향(Acoustic)파를 사용한다. 일정거리만큼만 음파가 도달하는 환경에서 원하는 노드를 찾아가는 최적화 문제는 NP complete한 TSP 문제이다. 최적경로를 찾았을 경우 음파의 에너지 손실 또한 저전력으로 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 최적탐색기법인 유전자알고리즘을 사용하여 목적노드를 찾기위한 최적경로를 시뮬레이션 해 보았다.

이질적인 계산자원들로 구성된 환경에서 독립적인 작업들을 스케줄링하기 위한 최적의 방법을 찾는 것은 NP-Complete 문제로 알려져 있다 [4]. 현재까지 이 문제를 풀기 위한 다양한 휴리스틱 스케줄링 방법이 연구되어 왔다 [1, 8, 9, 10]. 작업의 선후 관계를 예측할 수 없는 상황에서는 동적 스케줄링 방법을 사용하며 동적 스케줄링 방법은 스케줄링 시기에 따라 온라인방식과 배치방식으로 나누어진다 [1, 12]. 본 논문에서는 새로운 스케줄링 알고리즘을 제안하였으며 제안된 스케줄링 알고리즘의 성능이 기존의 스케줄링 알고리즘의 성능보다 뛰어남을 실험을 통하여 보였다.

대칭성(symmetry)은 그래프의 구조와 특성을 시각적으로 표현할 때 중요한 미적 기준 중의 하나이다. 또한 대칭성을 보여주는 드로잉은 전체 그래프가 크기가 작은 부그래트들로부터 반복적으로 구성됨을 보여줌으로써 전체 그래프에 대한 이해를 쉽게 푸는 해주는 장점이 있다. 하지만 일반적인 그래프에서 기하하적 대칭성(geometric symmetry)을 탐지하는 문제는 이미 NP-complete 임이 증명되었으므로 이에 대한 연구는 평면 그래프(planar graph)의 극히 제한적인 부분집합인 트리, 외부 평면 그래프, 임베딩된 (embedded) 평면 그래프 등에 초점이 맞추어져 왔다. 본 논문에서는 평면 그래프에서의 기하학적 대칭성 문제를 연구하였다. 평면 그래프를 이중 연결 성분들로 분할한 다음 이를 각각 다시 삼중 연결 성분들로 분할하여 트리를 구성하고 축소(reduction)개념을 도입함으로써 기하학적 대칭성을 탐지하는 O(n2)시간 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 여기서 n은 그래프의 정점의 개수이다. 이 알고리즘은 평면 그래프를 최대한 대칭적으로 드로잉하는 알고리즘 개발에 이용될 수 있다.

Efficient DAG scheduling is critical for achieving high performance in heterogeneous computing environments. Finding an optimal solution to the problem of scheduling an application modeled by a directed acyclic graph(DAG) onto a set of heterogeneous machines is known to be an NP-complete problem. In this paper we propose a new list scheduling algorithm, called the Heterogeneous Rank-Path Scheduling(HRPS) algorithm, to exploit all of a program's available parallelism in distributed heterogeneous computing system. The primary goal of HRPS is to minimize the schedule length of applications. The performance of the algorithm has been observed by its application to some practical DAGs, and by comparing it with other existing scheduling algorithm such as CPOP, HCPT and FLB in term of the schedule length. The comparison studies show that HRPS significantly outperform CPOP, HCPT and FLB in schedule length.

The imprecise real-time system provides flexibility in scheduling time-critical tasks. Most scheduling problems of satisfying both 0/1 constraint and timing constraints, while the total error is minimized, are NP-complete when the optional tasks have arbitrary processing times. Liu suggested a reasonable strategy of scheduling tasks with the 0/1 constraint on uniprocessors for minimizing the total error. Song et al suggested a reasonable strategy of scheduling tasks with the 0/1 constraint on multiprocessors for minimizing the total error. But, these algorithms are all off-line algorithms. In the online scheduling, NORA algorithm can find a schedule with the minimum total error for the imprecise online task system. In the NORA algorithm, the EDF strategy is adopted in the optional scheduling.<중략> The algorithm, proposed in this paper, can be applied to some applications efficiently such as radar tracking, image processing, missile control and so on.

In the next generation Internet(NGI) based on dense wavelength division multiplexing(DWDM) technology, QoS RWA considering various QoS parameters of DWDM networks is regard as one of the key issues in providing real-time multimedia services. However, finding a qualified path meeting multi-constraints is generally NP-complete problem. It is insufficient for QoS RWA researches in DWDM networks that must consider QoS parameter as well as wavelength-continuity constraint. This paper proposes qualified path routing (QPR) algorithm with minimum computation and implementation complexity based on flooding method to accomplish QoS routing and wavelength assignment (RWA). We also introduce a QoS-based RWA mechanism considering multi-constraint such as optical signal quality attributes, survivability and wavelength-continuity constraint combined with proposed routing algorithm. Simulation results show superior efficiency of the proposed algorithms in terms of blocking probability, routing overhead and survivability ratio.

In the internet broadcast, efficient and scalable mechanism of multicast is needed for the communication between groups. Furthermore, Optimization of the multicast tree is required to improve the performance of overlay multicast. This optimization is well-known as NP-complete. If a node in the tree has limited out-degree, a user who wants to join the group has to find parent user who has already joined. In this paper, the users who want to join the group need to setup their level using delay test from source node. And then new users can find candidate parent nodes effectively using ACK-SEND approach and take proper position by comparing level. The closer node of the user to root node should be located in lower level. Also, even if a barrier is caused, fast recovery will be guaranteed using ACK-SEND approach. Through this, the newcomer node can fine their location in the multicast tree and join the group fast and effectively.

In combinatorial auctions buyers nay bid for arbitrary combinations of goods. But determining the winners of combinatorial auctions who maximize the profit of a seller is known to be NP-complete. A branch-and-bound method can be one of practical algorithm for winner determination. However, bid selection heuristics play a very important role in the efficiency of a branch-and-bound method. In this paper, we designed and implemented an algorithm which used a branch-and-bound method and Linear Programming for winner determination in combinatorial auctions. We propose new bid selection heuristics which consider a branching bid and conflicting bids simultaneously to select a branching bid in the algorithm. In addition, upper bounds are reused to reduce the running time in specific cases. We evaluated the performance of the algorithm by experiments with five data distributions and compared our method with others. The algorithm using heuristics showed a superior efficiency in two data distributions and a similar efficiency in three distributions.

The performance of DHCS depends on the algorithm which schedules input DAG. However, as the task scheduling problem in DHCS is an NP-complete problem, heuristic approach has to be made. Task scheduling algorithm consists of task prioritizing phase and processor allocation phase, and most of studies are considering both phases together. In this paper, we focus on task prioritizing phase and propose a WPD algorithm which is optimized for task duplication based processor allocation method. For an evaluation of the proposed WPD algorithm, we combined WPD algorithm with processor allocation phase of HMPID, HCPFD, HCT algorithms, which are using task duplication based processor allocation method. The results show that WPD algorithm makes a better use of task duplication than conventional task prioritizing methods and provides 9.58% better performance than HCPFD algorithm, 1.31% than HCT algorithm.

A new test strategy for embedded SOC test is proposed. The SOC test is evaluated by the degree that is the amount of the total reduced test time. Since the test time for a embedded core is determined by the configuration of test wrapper, the total test time is decided by the length of the largest TAM used by the test wrapper. So the DFT(Design for Test) must be involved in the design flow. And the efficient test strategy must be settled. The all Previous test strategies are the methods that find a sub-optimal configurations of scan-chains to minimize the test time after the total TAM lines are divided into a few groups. But this is the NP-complete problem so that all attempts which examine such a TAM configuration and scan-chain division are impossible. In this thesis, a new methodology for this problem is proposed and the efficiency of the methodology is proved.
