Overlay Multicast is a promising approach to overcome the implementation problem of IP multicast. Real time services like Internet broadcasting are provided by the overlay multicast technology due to the complex nature and high cost of IP multicast. To reduce frequent updates of multicast members and to support real time service without delay, we suggest a reliable overlay multicast tree based on members' sojourn probabilities. Path reliabilities from a source to member nodes are considered to maximize the reliability of an overlay multicast tree. The problem is formulated as a binary integer programming with degree and delay bounds. A tabu search heuristic is developed to solve the NP-complete problem. Outstanding results are obtained which is comparable to the optimal solution and applicable in real time.

There have been considerable researches for solving large-scale separable convex optimization ptoblems. In this paper we present a method for large-scale nonseparable smooth convex optimization problems with block-angular linear constraints. One of them is occurred in reconfiguration of the virtual path network which finds the routing path and assigns the bandwidth of the path for each traffic class in ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) network [1]. The solution is approximated by solving a sequence of the block-angular structured separable quadratic programming problems. Bundle-based decomposition method [10, 11, 12]is applied to each large-scale separable quadratic programming problem. We implement the method and present some computational experiences.

Presented in this paper is a new fast and robust algorithm generating NC tool path for 2D pockets with islands. The input shapes are composed of line segments and cricular arcs. The algorithm has two steps: creation of successive offset loops and linking the loops to tool path. A modified pair-wise technique is developed in order to speed up and stabilize the offset process, and the linking algorithm is focused on minimizing tool retractions and preventing thin-wall rotting The proposed algorithm has been implemented In C++ and some illustrative examples are presented to show the practical strength of the algorithm.

The purpose of this study is to present methods for determining the k most vital arcs (k-MVAs) in shortest path problem (SPP) using evolutionary algorithms. The problem of finding the k-MVAs in SPP is to find a set of k arcs whose simultaneous removal from the network causes the greatest increase in the shortest distance between two specified nodes. Generally, the problem of determining the k-MVAs in SPP has been known as NP-hard. Therefore, to deal with problems of the real world, heuristic algorithms are needed. In this study we present three kinds of evolutionary algorithms for finding the k-MVAs in SPP, and then to evaluate the performance of proposed algorithms.

Research regarding the Autonomous Distributed & Cooperated System has not yet been defined because we need to apply the interdisciplinary approach before so. In this paper, we use a clear definition, compare characteristics of the Autonomous Distributed & Cooperated System and examine the possibility of an actualization through path planning of Autonomous AGV. We propose a new algorithm about the generation method of a moving path at the first stage and a cooperative action generation for a collision avoidance. Lastly, we performed simulation analysis of these two in order to confirm efficiency.

본 연구에서는 수송 네트워크에서의 최대효용경로문제를 정의하였다. 그리고 비순환적인 수송 네트워크에서의 최대효용경로를 구하는 최적해법을 제시하였다. 일반적인 수송 네트워크에서 각 경로가 가지는 효용가치는, 그 경로를 설치함으로써 연결 가능하게 되는 모든 마디의 쌍이 얻는 효용의 합이다. 즉, 일정한 출발지로 부터 도착지에 이르는 운송노선이 중도에 경유하는 모든 지점들 사이에 요구되는 운송 서어비스를 충족시켜줌으로써 얻게되는 효용의 합이 최대가 되도록 경유지를 정하는 문제를 최대효용경로 문제로 모형화하였다. 그리고 주어진 수송 네트워크가 비순환적인 경우라 하더라도 정의된 최대효용 경로 문제가 NP-hard 임을 3-Satisfiability문제를 이용하여 보였다. 또한 Shortest Path와 K-th Shortest Path를 이용하여 최적해법을 개발하였다.

Shortest path problem in road network with turn penalties and prohibitions frequently arises from various transportation optimization models. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for the shortest Path problem with turn prohibitions and delays. The proposed algorithm maintains distance labels of arcs, which is similar to labels of nodes of Dijkstra's algorithm. Fibonacci heap implementation of the proposed algorithm solves the problem in O(mn ＋ mlogm). We provide a new insight in transforming network with turn penalties and prohibitions into another network in which turn penalties and prohibitions are implicitly considered. The proposed algorithm is implemented using new data structure and compared with Ziliaskopoulos' algorithm. Computational results show that the proposed algorithm is very efficient.

CBM (Condition-Based Maintenance) has increasingly drawn attention in industry because of its many benefits. CBM Problem Is characterized as a state-dependent scheduling model that demands simultaneous maintenance actions, each for an attribute that influences on machine condition. This problem is very hard to solve within conventional Markov decision process framework. In this paper, we present an intelligent machine maintenance scheduler, for which a new incremental decision tree learning method as evolutionary system identification model and shortest path problem as schedule generation model are developed. Although our approach does not guarantee an optimal scheduling policy in mathematical viewpoint, we verified through simulation based experiment that the intelligent scheduler is capable of providing good scheduling policy that can be used in practice.

This article presents a new algorithm for the K Shortest Paths Problem which develops initial K shortest paths, and repeal to expose hidden shortest paths with dual approach and to replace the longest path in the present K paths. The initial solution which comprises K shortest paths among shortest paths to traverse each arc is made from bidirectional Dijkstra algorithm. When a crossing node that have two or more inward arcs is found at least three time by turns in this K shortest paths, one inward arc of this crossing node, which has minimum detouring distance, is chosen, and a new path is exposed with joining a detouring subpath from source to this inward arc and a spur of a feasible path from this crossing node to sink. This algorithm, requires worst case time complexity of $O(Kn^2),\;and\;O(n^2)$ in the case $K{\leq}3$.

The maximum Origin-Destination Flow Path Problem (MODFP) in an Acyclic Network has known as NP-hard. K. S. Sung has suggested on Optimal Algorithm for MODFP based on the Pseudo flo or arc and the K-th shortest path algorithm. When we try to solve MODFP problem by general Branch and Bound Method (BBM), the upper and lower bounds of subproblems are so weak that the BBM become very inefficient. Here we utilized the Pseudo flow of arc' for the tight bounds of subproblems so that it can produce an efficient BBM for MODFP problem.
