The 2DBPP(Two-Dimensional Bin Packing Problem) is a problem of packing each item into a bin so that no two items overlap and the number of required bins is minimized under the set of rectangular items which may not be rotated and an unlimited number of identical .rectangular bins. The 2DBPP is strongly NP-hard and finds many practical applications in industry. In this paper we discuss a tabu search approach which includes tabu list, intensifying and diversification Strategies. The HNFDH(Hybrid Next Fit Decreasing Height) algorithm is used as an internal algorithm. We find that use of the proper parameter and function such as maximum number of tabu list and space utilization function yields a good solution in a reduced time. We present a tabu search algorithm and its performance through extensive computational experiments.

This paper contains the multi-mission scheduling optimization of UAV within a given operating time. Mission scheduling optimization problem is one of combinatorial optimization, and it has been shown to be NP-hard(non-deterministic polynomial-time hardness). In this problem, as the size of the problem increases, the computation time increases dramatically. So, we applied the genetic algorithm to this problem. For the application, we set the mission scenario, objective function, and constraints, and then, performed simulation with MATLAB. After 1000 case simulation, we evaluate the optimality and computing time in comparison with global optimum from MILP(Mixed Integer Linear Programming).

The job shop scheduling problem is not only NP-hard, but is one of the well known hardest combinatorial optimization problems. The goal of this research is to develop an efficient scheduling method based on hybrid genetic algorithm to address job shop scheduling problem. In this scheduling method, generating method of initial population, new genetic operator, selection method are developed. The scheduling method based on genetic algorithm are tested on standard benchmark job shop scheduling problem. The results were compared with another genetic algorithm0-based scheduling method. Compared to traditional genetic, algorithm, the proposed approach yields significant improvement at a solution.

This paper considers a facility location problem, which is concerned with locating facilities on a supply chain network and installing the associated equipments at the facilities to meet a given set of demands. The objective function is to minimize the sum of setup cost (facility opening cost and equipment installation cost), operation cost, and distribution cost. For the equipments, various choices of equipment modes need to be determined. Moreover, in the problem, overwork is allowed each facility but at expensive operation cost. The proposed problem is characterized as being NP-hard problem, so that a heuristic algorithm is derived. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, computational experiments with various numerical instances are conducted.

This paper considers an economic design problem of a tree-based network which is a kind of computer network. This problem can be modeling to be an objective function to minimize installation costs, on the constraints of spanning tree and maximum traffic capacity of sub tree. This problem is known to be NP-hard. To efficiently solve the problem, a tabu list coupled genetic algorithm approach is proposed. Two illustrative examples are used to explain and test the proposed approach. Experimental results show evidence that the proposed approach performs more efficiently for finding a good solution or near optimal solution in comparison with a genetic algorithm approach.

In an environment of global competition, the success of a manufacturing corporation is directly related to how it plans and executes production in particular as well as to the optimization level of its process in general. This paper proposes a production planning algorithm for the Multi-Level, multi-item Capacitated Lot Sizing Problem (MLCLSP) in supply chain network considering back-order. MLCLSP corresponds to a mixed integer programming (MIP) problem and is NP-hard. Therefore, this paper proposes an effective algorithm, GRHS (GRASP-based Rolling Horizon Search) that solves this problem within reasonable computational time and evaluates its performance under a variety of problem scenarios.

Job-shop scheduling problem(JSSP) is one of the best-known machine scheduling problems and essentially an ordering problem. A new encoding scheme which always give a feasible schedule is presented, by which a schedule directly corresponds to an assigned-operation ordering string. It is initialized with G&T algorithm and improved using the developed genetic operator; APMX or BPMX crossover operator and mutation operator. and the problem of infeasibility in genetic generation is naturally overcome. Within the framework of the newly designed genetic algorithm, the NP-hard classical job-shop scheduling problem can be efficiently solved with high quality. Moreover the optimal solutions of the famous benchmarks, the Fisher and Thompson's 10${\times}$10 and 20${\times}$5 problems, are found.

Cellular formation and layout problem has been known as a NP-hard problem. Because of the algorithm that can be solved exact solution within polynomial time has been unknown yet. This paper suggests a systematic method to be obtain of 2-degree partial directed path from the frequency of consecutive forward order. We apply the modified Kruskal algorithm of minimum spanning tree to be obtain the partial directed path. the proposed reverse constructive algorithm can be solved for this problem with O(mn) time complexity. This algorithm performs same as best known result of heuristic and metaheuristic methods for 4 experimental data.

This paper analyzes a dynamic lot-sizing problem, in which the order size of multiple products and a single container type are simultaneously considered. In the problem, each order (product) placed in a period is immediately shipped immediately by containers in the period and the total freight cost is proportional to the number of each container type employed. Also, it is assumed that backlogging is not allowed. The objective of this study is to determine the lot-sizes and the shipping policy that minimizes the total costs, which consist of ordering costs, inventory holding costs, and freight costs. Because this problem is NP-hard, we propose a heuristic algorithm with an adjustment mechanism, based on the optimal solution properties. The computational results from a set of simulation experiment are also presented.

Most of previous genetic algorithms for solving graph problems have used a vertex-based encoding. We proposed an edge encoding based new genetic algorithm using a spanning tree. Contrary to general edge-based encoding, a spanning tree-based encoding represents only feasible partitions. As a target problem, we adopted the MAX CUT problem, which is well known as a representative NP-hard problem, and examined the performance of the proposed genetic algorithm. The experiments on benchmark graphs are executed and compared with vertex-based encoding. Performance improvements of the spanning tree-based encoding on sparse graphs was observed.
