The use of a demand response controller is necessary for electric devices to effectively respond to time varying price signals and to achieve the benefits of cost reduction. This paper describes a new formulation with the form of constrained optimization for designing an optimal demand response controller. It is demonstrated that constrained optimization is a better approach for the demand response controller, in terms of the ambiguity of device operation and the practicality of implementation of the optimal control law. This paper also proposes a design scheme to construct a demand response controller that is useful when a system controller is already adapted or optimized for the system. The design separates the demand response function from the original system control function while leaving the system control law unchanged. The proposed formulation is simulated and compared to the system with simple dynamics. The effects of the constraints, the system characteristics and the electricity price are examined further.

People are living longer than ever before. As a result, life expectancy is going up and the demand of long-term care facilities is increasing in most countries. The facilities provide rehabilitative, restorative, and skilled nursing care to patients or residents in need of assistance with activities of daily living. This study deals with the capacitated location and allocation problem of long-term care facilities in a city that consists of a finite number of regions. Assuming that in each region candidate locations for three types of facilities are already given, two integer programming models are developed under the closest assignment rule reflecting the demand characteristics of the facilities. Both the location and type of the facilities to be built become decision variables. To show the validity of the models, numerical problems are solved with commercial software, CPLEX. Also, sensitivity studies were conducted to identify relationships between the system parameters.

최근 반도체 소자의 미세화에 따라, 단채널 효과에 의한 누설전류 및 소비전력증가 등이 문제가 되고 있다. DRAM의 경우, 캐패시터 영역의 축소문제가 소자집적화를 방해하는 요소로 작용하고 있다. 1T-DRAM은 기존의 DRAM과 달리 캐패시터 영역을 없애고 상부실리콘의 중성영역에 전하를 저장함으로써 소자집적화에 구조적인 이점을 갖는다. 또한 silicon-on-insulator (SOI) 기판을 이용할 경우, 뛰어난 전기적 절연 특성과 기생 정전용량의 감소, 소자의 저전력화를 실현할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 silicon-germanium-on-insulator (SGOI) 기판을 이용한 1T-DRAM의 열처리온도에 따른 특성 변화를 평가하였다. 기존의 SOI 기판을 이용한 1T-DRAM과 달리, SGOI 기판을 사용할 경우, strained-Si 층과 relaxed-SiGe 층간의 격자상수 차에 의한 캐리어 이동도의 증가효과를 기대할 수 있다. 하지만 열처리 시, SiGe층의 Ge 확산으로 인해 상부실리콘 및 SiGe 층의 두께를 변화시켜, 소자의 특성에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 열처리는 급속 열처리 공정을 통해 $850^{\circ}C$와 $1000^{\circ}C$로 나누어 30초 동안 N2/O2 분위기에서 진행하였다. 그리고 Programming/Erasing (P/E)에 따라 달라지는 전류의 차를 감지하여 제작된 1T-DRAM의 메모리 특성을 평가하였다.

Object recognition is a challenging application for high-performance computing. Currently, the superscalar architecture dominates todays microprocessor marketplace. As more transistors are integrated onto larger die, however, an on-chip multiprocessor is regarded as a promising alternative to the superscalar microprocessor. This paper examines the behavior of the object recognition on the on-chip multiprocessor, which will be employed in general-purpose parallel machines. To obtain the performance characteristics of the microprocessor, a program-driven simulator and its programming environment were developed. The simulation results showed that the on-chip multiprocessor can exploit thread level parallelisms effectively and offer a promising architecture for the object recognition application.

The dynamics of mobile robot is nonlinear. To cope with this nonlinearity, many advanced control schemes have been proposed recently. Generally, the advanced control schemes are complicated and not good for the practical real-time control when they are implemented as control programs. So, in this paper, a relatively simple PI controller is proposed and applied to the position control of mobile robot with the adoption of reference trajectory calculation method used for the AUV(Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) control. The proposed PI controller is programmed using LabVIEW which is popular for its graphical programming characteristics. The simulation and experimental results show the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed PI controller.

This study deals with the location management in WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) networks. The new location management method is the one of the many techniques used to provide the packet switched (PS) services effectively in WCDMA networks. WCDMA introduces RA (routing area) for the PS services in addition to LA (location area) for the circuit switched (CS) services. WCDMA system also adopts the cooperative paging and the combined area update which are to decrease signaling traffic using the PS network resources for the CS services. Considering the characteristics of the WCDMA networks, this study formulate into the mathematical programming problem for the location management. Rather than the existing researches which consider the single MSC/SGSN networks, we deal with the multi MSC/SGSN networks, where both MSC area and SGSN area should be determined as well. Fairness between traffic loads of MSC/SGSN and the system cost incurred to MSC/SGSN are also incorporated into our model, which make the model more realistic. We propose greedy algorithms for the problems, which consists of the merger of two neighboring areas and the movement of an area. Extensive experiment has been done based on the realistic problem examples. Followed by the analysis of parameter effect on the final solutions and the quality of final solutions obtained by our greedy algorithms. Our proposed model and analysis result can be used to determine WCDMA system areas and to predict the system performance measures by the determination.

The wear problem of wheel flange occurs at sharp curves of rail. This paper proposes a procedure for optimum design of a wheel profile wherein flange wear is reduced by improving an interaction between wheel and rail. Application of optimization method to design problem mainly depends on characteristics of design space. This paper compared local optimization method with global optimization according to sensitivity value of objective function for design variables to find out which optimization method is appropriable to minimize wear of wheel flange. Wheel profile is created by a piecewise cubic Hermite interpolating polynomial and dynamic performances are analyzed by a railway dynamic analysis program, VAMPIRE. From the optimization results, it is verified that the global optimization method such as genetic algorithm is more suitable to wheel profile optimization than the local optimization of SQP (Sequential Quadratic Programming) in case of considering the lack of empirical knowledge for initial design value.
