본 연구는 국내 300mm 웨이퍼를 이용하여 반도체 제품의 제조라인을 대상으로 수행 되었던 자동화 생산을 위한 일정계획 시스템 재 구축 프로젝트에 관한 내용이다. 본 프로젝트의 주요 목적은 반도체 제조라인 내의 세정, 확산, 포토, 증착과 같은 주요공정들을 대상으로 효율적인 일정계획 수립 알고리듬을 개발하고 그것을 실시간 일정계획 시스템에 구현함으로써 반도체 제조라인의 자동화 생산률을 향상시키는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 여러가지 주요 공정들 중 제한된 대기시간 제약과 배치공정의 특성이 존재하는 세정과 확산으로 이루어진 연속공정 구간을 대상으로 개발된 일정계획 알고리듬과 실시간 일정계획 시스템의 개발에 대한 내용에 초점을 두었다. 일정계획 시스템 재 구축 프로젝트가 시작 될 시점에 세정과 확산 공정의 자동화 생산률은 각각 50%와 10% 정도 였으나, 프로젝트 수행 완료 후에는 각각 91%와 83% 까지 자동화 생산률이 향상 되었다. 자동화 생산률의 향상은 작업자의 인건비 절감, 생산성의 향상, 지속적이고 편차 없는 생산을 의미한다.

An effective method of system modeling and dynamic scheduling for the back-end line of semiconductor manufacturing is proposed. The virtual factory, describing semiconductor manufacturing line, is designed in detail, and then a Petri net model simulator is developed for operation and control of the modular cells of the virtual factory. The petri net model is a colored timed Petri nets (CTPNs). The simulator will be utilized to analyze and evaluate various dynamic status and operatons of manufacturing environments. The dynamic schedulaer has a hierarchical structure with the higher for planning level and the lower for dynamic scheduling level. The genetic algorithm is applied to extract optimal conditions of the scheduling algorithm. The proposed dynamic scheduling is able to realize the semiconductor manufacturing environments for the diversity of products, the variety of orders by many customers, the flexibility of order change by changing market conditions, the complexity of manufacturing processes, and the uncertainty of manufacturing resources. The proposed method of dynamic scheduling is more effective and useful in dealing with such recent pressing requirements including on-time delivery, quick response, and flexibility.

본 연구에서는 화학공정 최적화에 사용되는 생산계획최적기법을 도입하여 핵융합 공정에서의 삼중수소 재고량을 최소로 유지하는 수학적 모델을 구축하여 최적 운전 시나리오를 도출하였다. 핵융합 발전을 위한 공정 중 연료주기 공정(fuel cycle)은 반응연료인 중수소와 삼중수소를 저장 하고 공급하는 시스템과 핵융합 반응 배가스로부터 이를 회수 및 분리하는 세부 공정들로 구성되어 있다. 이들 공정들은 삼중수소가 방사성 물질이라는 것을 제외하면 대부분 촉매반응과 분리공정으로 이루어져 화공플랜트에 적용된 기술과 유사한 특성이 많아 화학공정에 사용되는 스케줄링 기법을 통해 최적 운전 시나리오를 도출 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 핵융합로의 다양한 장치의 특성을 반영해서, 펌프내부의 삼중수소량을 최소로 하는 최적 재생주기를 구하고, 구해진 최적 재생주기 결과를 반영하여 후단의 트리튬 플랜트에서의 최적 운전 시나리오를 확인해 보았다. 구축된 모델은 실제 토카막 시나리오에 적용되어 ITER 연료주기 내 공정의 연료흐름 및 밸런스 분석에 활용되었다.

실시간 스케줄러는 대역폭, 필요 버퍼량 등과 같은 네트워크 자원을 효율적으로 이용하면서 한정된 통신 지연(bounded delay)을 제공해야 한다. 이러한 제한 조건을 만족시키기 위해서 많은 스케줄링 방법론이 제시되었다. 그중 EDF 스케줄링 방법론이 최적의 성능을 갖는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 EDF 스케줄링 방법론은 “sort”나“search”와 같은 연산 작업을 수행함으로서, 과다한 오버헤드를 발생시킨다. Rotating Priority Queues(PRQ) 스케줄러는 EDF 연산 작업 없이 EDF 스케줄러에 근접한 성능을 갖는 스케줄러이다. 그러나 RPQ 스케줄러는 과다한 버퍼량을 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 Multiple Rotating Priority Queues(MRPQ) 스케줄러를 제시한다. MRPQ 스케줄러는 “block queue”라는 새로운 개념을 이용하여 회전 우선 순위 queue를 다중 계층으로 구성한다. 이렇게 구성된 MRPQ 스케줄러 RQP스케줄러에서 필요한 버퍼량의 반 정도의 버퍼량만을 사용하여, RPQ 스케줄러와 동일한 동작을 수행한다. 또한 MRPQ 스케줄러는 RPQ 스케줄러와 동일한 최대 지연시간을 제공한다.

Proposed numerous algorithms for the policing function have mainly focused on their performances. Besides their performance evaluation, however, the VLSI-implementation of these algorithms is worth consideration as well. Although, no algorithms for the policing function have been standardized up to now, ITU-T I.371 suggests two examples of algorithms, the Virtual Scheduling Algorithm (VSA) and the Continuous State Leaky Bucket algorithm. In this paper, we suggest the architecture of a policing device implementing the VSA among various algorithms for the peak cell rate policing and discuss some issues on the implementation. We also present how to select the policing modes of the two devices used to realize various policing schemes and show the experimental results obtained under four different peak cell rate values to confirm that the device performs the policing function satisfactorily. We exploit the priority encoder to run the algorithm in parallel instead of sequentially, which reduces the operation time to a great extent.

The IEEE 802.11 MAC (Media Access Control) Protocol supports two modes of operation, a random access mode for nonreal-time data applications processed by Distributed Coordinated Function (DCF), and a polling mode for real-time applications served by Point Coordinated Function (PCF). It is known that the standard IEEE 802.11 is insufficient to serve real-time traffic. To provide Quality of Service (QoS) of real-time traffic, we propose the Downlink-first scheduling with Earliest Due Date (EDD) in Contention Free Period (CFP) with suitable admission control. The capacity and deadline violation probability of the proposed system is analyzed and compared to the standard pair system of downlink and uplink. Analytical and simulation results show that the proposed scheme is remarkably efficient in view of the deadline violation probability.

Guaranteeing quality of service over a multihop wireless network is difficult because end-to-end (ETE) delay is accumulated at each hop in a multihop flow. Recently, research has been conducted on network coding (NC) schemes as an alternative mechanism to significantly increase the utilization of valuable resources in multihop wireless networks. This paper proposes a new section-based joint NC and scheduling scheme that can reduce ETE delay and enhance resource efficiency in a multihop wireless network. Next, this paper derives the average ETE delay of the proposed scheme and simulates a TDMA network where the proposed scheme is deployed. Finally, this paper compares the performance of the proposed scheme with that of the conventional sequential scheduling scheme. From the performance analysis and simulation results, the proposed scheme gives more delay-and energy-efficient slot assignments even if the NC operation is applied, resulting in a use of fewer network resources and a reduction in ETE delay.

This paper deals with the development of a software module for production planning and scheduling activities of an actual die-production management system. Scheduling problems, such as master schedule and detailed schedule, are the focal point of the whole article and they are considered in terms of operation procedures. Schedule-explosion module and load levelling module are the essential components of schedule management. The scheduling module allocates the resources, determines the process priority and the planned start and completion dates of processes. Rescheduling can be done to manipulate unforeseen situations that schedule is delayed owing to inducing defectives, machine breakdowns and lumpy demands. This study indicates a practical model for the die-producation management and helps to apply it for jobs in the real situation.

Disassembly scheduling is the problem of determining the quantity and timing of disassembling used or end-of-life products while satisfying the demand of their parts and/or components over a planning horizon. The case of assembly product structure is considered while the resource capacity constraints are explicitly considered. A cost-based objective is considered that minimizes the sum of disassembly operation and inventory holding costs. The problem is formulated as an integer programming model, and a two-stage heuristic with construction and improvement algorithms is suggested in this paper. To test the performance of the heuristic, computational experiments are done on randomly generated problems, and the results show that the heuristic gives near optimal solutions within a very short amount of computation time.

We focus on the Real time Fire Scheduling Problem (RFSP), the problem of determining the sequence of targets to be fired at, for the objective of minimizing threatening probability to achieve tactical goals. In this paper, we assume that there are m available weapons to fire at n targets (> m) and the weapons are already allocated to targets. One weapon or multiple weapons can fire at one target and these fire operations should start simultaneously while the finish time of them may be different. We suggest mathematical modeling for RFSP and several heuristic algorithms. Computational experiments are performed on randomly generated test problems and results show that the suggested algorithms outperform the firing method which is generally adopted in the field artillery.
