The main purpose of the Boolean equivalence problem is to verify that two Boolean expressions have the same functionality. Simulation has been extensively used as the standard method for the equivalence problem. Obviously, the number of tests required to perform a satisfactory coverage grows exponentially with the number of input variables. However, formal methods as opposed to simulation are getting more attention from the community. We propose a new algorithm called the Cover-Merge Algorithm based on a derivational method using the concept of cover and merge for the equivalence problem and investigate its theoretical aspects. Because of the difficulty of the problem, we emphasize simplification techniques in order to reduce the search space or problem size. Heuristics based on types of merges are developed to speed up the derivation process by allowing simplifications. In comparison with widely used technique called Binary Decision Diagram or BDD, the algorithm proposed outperforms BDD in nearly all cases of input including standard benchmark problems.

The travelling salesman problem (TSP) is an important combinatorial optimization problem that is used in several engineering science branches and has drawn interest to several researchers and scientists. In this problem, a salesman from an arbitrary node, called the warehouse, starts moving and returns to the warehouse after visiting n clients, given that each client is visited only once. The objective in this problem is to find the route with the least cost to the salesman. In this study, a meta-based ant colony system algorithm (ACSA) is suggested to find solution to the TSP that does not use local pheromone update. This algorithm uses the global pheromone update and new heuristic information. Further, pheromone evaporation coefficients are used in search space of the problem as diversification. This modification allows the algorithm to escape local optimization points as much as possible. In addition, 3-opt local search is used as an intensification mechanism for more quality. The effectiveness of the suggested algorithm is assessed on a several standard problem instances. The results show the power of the suggested algorithm which could find quality solutions with a small gap, between obtained solution and optimal solution, of 1%. Additionally, the results in contrast with other algorithms show the appropriate quality of competitiveness of our proposed ACSA.

피라미드 기법은 n-차원 공간 데이터를 1차원 데이터로 변환하여 $B^+$-트리로 표현하고, n-차원 데이터 공간에서 하이퍼큐브 영역질의 처리로 발생하는 "차원의 저주현상"에 영향을 받지 않게 검색 시간 문제를 해결하고 있다. 구형 피라미드 기법은 피라미드 기법의 공간 분할 전략을 응용하여 유사도 검색에 적합하도록 구 영역질의 방법을 사용하고 검색 성능을 개선하고 있다. 그러나 두 방법은 데이터 크기와 차원 변화에 따른 검색 성능이 100만건 이상과 16차원 이상일 때 현저하게 저하하는 현상을 보이고 있다. 이 논문에서는 멀티미디어 데이터와 같은 고차원 데이터의 검색 성능을 향상시키기 위한 새로운 인덱스 구조로 PdR-트리를 제안한다. 모의 데이터와 실제 데이터를 이용하여 실험한 결과, PdR-트리가 피라미드 기법과 구형 피라미드 기법보다 검색 성능이 향상되었음을 보이고 있다.

Normally, the artificial intelligence algorithms are widely applied to the optimal controller design. Then, it is expected that the best output performance is achieved. Unfortunately, when resulting controller parameters are implemented by using the practical devices, the output performance cannot be the best as expected. Therefore, the paper presents the optimal controller design using the combination between the state-space averaging model and the adaptive Tabu search algorithm with the new criteria as two penalty conditions to handle the mentioned problem. The buck-boost converter regulated by the cascade PI controllers is used as the example power system. The results show that the output performance is better than those from the conventional design method for both input and load variations. Moreover, it is confirmed that the reported controllers can be implemented using the realistic devices without the limitation and the stable operation is also guaranteed. The results are also validated by the simulation using the topology model of MATLAB and also experimentally verified by the testing rig.

Designers are frequently faced with multiple quality issues in injection molded parts. These issues are usually In conflict with each other, and thus tradeoff needs to be made to reach a final compromised solutions. The objective of this study is to develop an automated injection molding design methodology, whereby part defects such as warpage and weld line are optimized. The features of the proposed methodology are as follows: first, Utility Function approach is applied to transform the original multiple objective problem into single objective problem. Second is an implementation of a direct search-based Injection molding optimization procedure with automated consideration of process variation. The Space Reduction Method based on Taguchi's DOE(Design Of Experiment) is used as a general optimization tool in this study. The computational experimental verification of the methodology was partially carried out for a can model of Cavallero Plastics Incorporation, U. S. A. Applied to production, this study will be of immense value to companies in reducing the product development time and enhancing the product quality.

The objective of this study was to optimize minimum-energy impulsive spacecraft intercept using genetic algorithms. A mathematical model was established on two-body system based on f and g solution and universal variable to address spacecraft intercept problem for non-coplanar elliptical orbits. This nonlinear problem includes many local optima due to discontinuity and strong nonlinearity. In addition, since it does not provide a closed-form solution, it must be solved using a numerical method. Therefore, the initial guess is that a very sensitive factor is needed to obtain globally optimal values. Genetic algorithms are effective for solving these kinds of optimization problems due to inherent properties of random search algorithms. The main goal of this paper was to find minimum energy solution for orbit transfer problem. The numerical solution using initial values evaluated by the genetic algorithm matched with results of Hohmann transfer. Such optimal solution for unrestricted arbitrary elliptic orbits using universal variables provides flexibility to solve orbit transfer problems.

본 논문은 주성분 분석에 의한 특징 탐색 기법의 가속화 방법을 제안하고 있다. 특징 탐색이란 주어진 영상이 찾고자 하는 특징을 포함하고 있는지의 여부를 판단하고, 만일 그 특징이 포함되어 있다면 그 위치와 영역을 결정하는 방법이다. 탐색 대상으로 하는 얼굴 또는 특징의 위치와 스케일을 미리 알 수 없으므로 모든 위치에서 다양한 스케일의 특징에 대한 존재 가능성을 계산해야하는데 이것은 방대한 공간에서의 탐색문제이다. 본 논문에서는 다단계 예측맵과 윤곽선 예측맵을 이용함으로써 탐색공간을 축소하고 빠른 얼굴 및 특징 탐색을 가능케하는 방법을 제안하고 있다. 실험결과, 제안된 방법이 기존의 전역탐색방법에 비하여 계산량을 10％이하로 줄일 수 있었다.

IC 카드의 하드웨어적인 제약으로 대부분의 IC 카드는 대칭키 알고리즘을 사용하고 있지만 IC 카드 하드웨어 제조 기술의 발전으로 앞으로는 보안성이 우수한 비대 칭키 알고리즘이 많이 사용될 것이다. 그리고 IC 카드의 가장 큰 제약적 중 하나는 메모리 용량의 한계이다. 따라서 보안상 안전하면서도 메모리를 적게 사용하는 IC 카드 운영체제의 구현을 중요한 문제이다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 다양한 종류의 키 알고리즘을 수용할 수 있는 키 파일 탐색 기법을 제안하였다. 또한 데이터 파일 헤더에 잠금 필드를 삽입하여 보안성을 향상시켰으며 메모리 사용량을 줄일 수 있도록 데이터 파일 헤더만을 이용한 파일 탐색 기법과 자유 공간 탐색 기법을 제안하였다. Because of the evolution of IC card hardware fabrication technologies IC card will be able to accept asymmetric key encryption algorithm in the future. One of the most restrictive points of IC card is memory capacity. Therefore it is an important problem to design a secure IC card operating system using memory in small. In this paper we proposed a key file search mechanism using a key length field inserted in a key file header structure. The key file search mechanism makes IC card execute any key-based encryption algorithm. In addition we proposed inserting a lock field in data file header structure. The lock field intensifies the security of a data file. Finally we proposed a data file search mechanism and free space search mechanism using only data file header. The file system using these mechanisms spends smaller memory than that using a file description table and record of unallocated space.

In this paper, a new opposition based charged system search (CSS) is proposed to be used as a parameter identification of highly nonlinear semi-active magneto-rheological damper. By replacing the opposition particles with current solutions, the mentioned strategy is used to enhance the search space and to increase the exploration of CSS. To investigate the effectiveness of the proposed method, a nonlinear modified Bouc-Wen model of MR damper is considered to find its parameters, and compare it with those achieved from experimental model of MR damper. Also, by exploiting the sensitivity analysis and using the importance vector, the less importance parameters in the Bouc-Wen model are eliminated which makes the MR damper model simpler. Results demonstrate the new proposed algorithm (OBLCSS) has a high ability to tackle highly nonlinear problems. Based on the results of the α importance vector, a simplified model is proposed and its parameters are identified by using the presented OBLCSS algorithm. The simplified proposed model also has a high capability of estimating damper responses.

The construction industry is suffering from aging workers, frequent accidents, as well as low productivity. With the rapid development of information technologies in recent years, automatic construction, especially automatic cranes, is regarded as a promising solution for the above problems and attracting more and more attention. However, in practice, limited by the complexity and dynamics of construction environment, manual inspection which is time-consuming and error-prone is still the only way to recognize the search object for the operation of crane. To solve this problem, an image-processing-based automated object recognition approach is proposed in this paper, which is a fusion of Convolutional-Neutral-Network (CNN)-based and traditional object detections. The search object is firstly extracted from the background by the trained Faster R-CNN. And then through a series of image processing including Canny, Hough and Endpoints clustering analysis, the vertices of the search object can be determined to locate it in 3D space uniquely. Finally, the features (e.g., centroid coordinate, size, and color) of the search object are extracted for further recognition. The approach presented in this paper was implemented in OpenCV, and the prototype was written in Microsoft Visual C++. This proposed approach shows great potential for the automatic operation of crane. Further researches and more extensive field experiments will follow in the future.
