In the present study, a searching technique for critical slip surface in two dimensional slope stability analysis is proposed. The failure surface generation and analysis has been usually limited to simple geometric shapes. However, more random surfaces need to be examined for some particular ground conditions. For this purpose, random searching technique is developed using genetic algorithm. The generalized limit equilibrium method is employed as the method of stability analysis. Using this technique, the factor of safety is compared with the result by using simplified Bishop's method. In addition, the convergent trend of fitness value is analyzed.

To discover objects of interest in unstructured peer-to-peer networks, the peers rely on flooding query messages which create incredible network traffic. This article evaluates the performance of an unstructured Gnutella-like protocol over mobile ad-hoc networks and proposes modifications to improve its performance. This paper offers an enhanced mechanism for an unstructured Gnutella-like network with improved peer features to better meet the mobility requirement of ad-hoc networks. The proposed system introduces a novel caching optimization technique and enhanced ultrapeer selection scheme to make communication more efficient between peers and ultrapeers. The paper also describes an enhanced query mechanism for efficient searching by applying multiple walker random walks with a jump and replication technique. According to the simulation results, the proposed system yields better performance than Gnutella, XL-Gnutella, and random walk in terms of the query success rate, query response time, network load, and overhead.

Code excited linear prediction speech coders exhibit good performance at data rates as low as 4800 bps. The major drawback to CELP type coders is their large computational requirements. In this paper, we propose a new codebook search method that preserves the quality of the CELP vocoder with reduced complexity. The basic idea is to restrict the searching range of the random codebook by using a searching technique of the regular pulse excitation. Applying the proposed method to the CELP vocoder, we can get approximately 48% complexity reduction in the codebook search.

This paper is concerned with an numerical analysis of electromagnetic wave propagation from randomly rough surfaces as a desert, sea surface and so on. We propose discrete ray tracing method (DRTM) for analysis of characteristics of wave propagation along one dimensional (1D) and two dimensional (2D) random rough surfaces. The point of the present method is to discretize not only rough surface but also ray tracing. This technique helps saving computer memories and does simplifying ray searching algorithm resulting in saving computation time. Numerical calculations are carried out for 1D and 2D random rough surfaces and electric field distributions are shown to check the effectiveness of the proposed DRTM.

Electric utilities has been considered the necessity to introduce AM(asset management) of electric power facilities in order to reduce maintenance cost of existing facilities and to maximize profit. In order to make decisions in terms of repairs and replacements for power transformers, not only measuring by counting parts and labor costs, but comprehensive comparison including reliability and cost is needed. Therefore, this study is modeling input cost for power transformer during its entire life and also the life cycle cost (LCC) technique is applied. In particular, this paper presents an application of heuristic harmony search(HS) optimization algorithm to the convergence and the validity of economic life assessment of power transformer from LCC technique. This recently developed HS algorithm is conceptualized using the musical process of searching for a perfect state of harmony. It uses a stochastic random search instead of a gradient search so that derivative information is unnecessary. The effectiveness of the proposed identification method has been demonstrated through an economic life assessment simulation of power transformer using HS optimization algorithm.

최근에는 클라우드 서버, 데이터센터 등에서 플래시 기반의 저장장치가 활발히 활용되면서 신뢰성이 더욱 중요해지고 있다. 플래시 메모리 칩은 읽기/쓰기에 제한이 있어 한곳에 쓰기가 집중되면 칩을 더 이상 사용할 수 없게 된다. 이와 같은 문제를 해결하고 신뢰성을 향상시키기 위해서는 플래시 메모리 칩의 마모를 균등화하는 것이 필요하다. 그러나 대용량이 되어가는 플래시 메모리의 마모 균등화를 위해서는 작업 부하가 비례적으로 증가한다. 특히, 플래시 메모리 칩의 전체 블록의 삭제 횟수가 최대/최소인 블록 블럭을 검색할 때 저장장치의 용량에 따라 비용이 증가한다. 본 논문에서는 앞의 문제를 해결하기 위해서 블럭의 무작위 선택 방법을 적용하였다. 무작위로 선택하는 블록을 k 라고 할 때 실제 실험 결과를 통해 k 값이 4 이상 전체 블록을 검색하는 것과 비슷한 결과를 보여주는 것을 확인하였다.

Many gradient-based mathematical methods have been developed and are in use for structural size optimization problems, in which the cross-sectional areas or sizing variables are usually assumed to be continuous. In most practical structural engineering design problems, however, the design variables are discrete. The main objective of this paper is to propose an efficient optimization method for structures with discrete-sized variables based on the harmony search (HS) meta-heuristic algorithm that is derived using penalty function. The recently developed HS algorithm was conceptualized using the musical process of searching for a perfect state of harmony. It uses a stochastic random search instead of a gradient search so that derivative information is unnecessary. In this paper, a discrete search strategy using the HS algorithm with a static penalty function is presented in detail and its applicability using several standard truss examples is discussed. The numerical results reveal that the HS algorithm with the static penalty function proposed in this study is a powerful search and design optimization technique for structures with discrete-sized members.

Stereo matching technique is used in many practical fields like satellite image analysis and computer vision. In this paper, we suggest a method to extract a target object image from a complicated background. For example, human face image can be extracted from random background. This method can be applied to computer vision such as security system, dressing simulation by use of extracted human face, 3D modeling, and security system. Many researches about stereo matching have been performed. Conventional approaches can be categorized into area-based and feature-based method. In this paper, we start from area-based method and apply area tracking using scanning window. Coarse depth information is used for area merging process using area searching data. Finally, we produce a target object image.

본 논문에서는 개방형 통신상에서 전송중인 데이터를 암호화시켜 정보의 노출을 방지하고 송신자가 인정한 수신자만이 이러한 정보를 받을 수 있도록 한 암호화 알고리즘을 제시한다. 암호화의 방법에는 크게 관용키 암호화 방법과 공개키 암호화 방법으로 나누는데 본 논문에서는 혼합형 암호화 방식의 개념을 이용했다. 이 알고리즘은 통신시간과 저장공간을 절약하기 위해 전송할 데이터를 압축한 다음 암호화시키게 되며, 암호화 key를 생성하기 위한 파라미터로서 키를 생성하게 하는 것이 특징이다. 파라미터는 키 값이 생성됨과 동시에 전송되고 매 26회마다 파라미터를 변경시켜 키를 재생성 시킨다. 암호화키의 구성요소인 random number 는 table 형태로 저장되는데 키가 40회마다 table을 재편성 key의 보안을 강화하였다. 이렇게 생성된 키와 원래 데이터는 연산과정을 거쳐 암호화가 이루어진다. 복호화는 전송된 파라미터를 조사해 복호화 키를 구한 다음 암호화 동작의 역순으로 수행한다. 본 논문에서 제시한 알고리즘을 구현 및 평가결과는 100KB 메시지 0.0152/sec 정도로 빠른 수행이 되었다.

Most engineering optimization are based on numerical linear and nonlinear programming methods that require substantial gradient information and usually seek to improve the solution in the neighborhood of a starting point. These algorithm, however, reveal a limited approach to complicated real-world optimization problems. If there is more than one local optimum in the problem, the result may depend on the selection of an initial point, and the obtained optimal solution may not necessarily be the global optimum. This paper describes a new harmony search(HS) meta-heuristic algorithm-based approach for structural size optimization problems with continuous design variables. This recently developed HS algorithm is conceptualized using the musical process of searching for a perfect state of harmony. It uses a stochastic random search instead of a gradient search so that derivative information is unnecessary. Two classical space truss optimization problems are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the HS algorithm. The results indicate that the proposed approach is a powerful search and optimization technique that may yield better solutions to structural engineering problems than those obtained using current algorithms.
