Six sigma methode was applied for optimization of flow field design of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). The optimization between number of channel and channel/rib width was suggested in this paper with six sigma method. With the help of six sigma design of experiment (DOE) the number of experiments may be reduced dramatically. The fuel cell channel design optimization with results of these experiments with a 100 $cm^2$ serpentine flow field indicates a optimization data for a given constant operating conditions.

The non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technique offers throughput improvement to meet the demands of the future generation of wireless communication networks. The objective of this work is to further improve the throughput by including an underlay cognitive radio network with an existing multi-carrier NOMA network, using cooperative communication. The throughput is maximized by optimal resource allocation, namely, power allocation, subcarrier assignment, relay selection, user pairing, and subcarrier pairing. Optimal power allocation to the primary and secondary users is accomplished in a way that target rate constraints of the primary users are not affected. The throughput maximization is a combinatorial optimization problem, and the computational complexity increases as the number of users and/or subcarriers in the network increases. To this end, to reduce the computational complexity, a dynamic network resource allocation algorithm is proposed for combinatorial optimization. The simulation results show that the proposed network improves the throughput.

시맨틱 웹 프로그래밍은 아직 발전 과정 상 초기 단계로서 API에 의존하고 있어, 컴파일 시 에러 검출이 어려우며 프로그래밍 생산성이나 실행 효율성이 낮다. 이를 극복하기 위한 여러 연구 중 하나로 기존 프로그래밍 언어를 확장하여 시맨틱 웹데이터 처리를 위한 전용 프로그래밍 언어를 만드는 작업들이 진행되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 RDF (Resource Description Framework) 전용 프로그래밍 언어인 Jey로 작성된 프로그램의 효율성을 높이기 위한 방법으로 Jey의 SPARQL 지원 구조에 캐싱 기법을 추가하여 성능을 높이는 방법을 제안한다. 프로그램 정적 분석을 바탕으로 캐시 대상이 판별되므로 정확도를 높이며 성능향상에 기여하게 된다.

RFID 리더는 근접한 리더가 같은 주파수 혹은 인접한 주파수 대역을 사용할 경우 서로 간섭을 일으키게 되고 이는 태그의 정보를 올바로 인식하지 못하게 하는 리더 충돌 문제를 야기한다. 현재 리더 충돌 방지 연구에서는 리더 충돌 시 주파수를 옮기거나 TDM(Time Division Multiplex)을 기반으로 한 기법들이 제안되고 있다. 그러나 이는 리더 간 간섭에 영향을 미치는 리더간 거리, 사용 주파수 및 시간을 종합적으로 고려해야 하는 문제 상황을 정확히 반영하지 못한다는 한계를 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 TDM, FDM(Frequency Division Multiplex) 방식을 동시에 고려한 RFID 리더간 간섭 모델을 통해 각 리더의 간섭량을 분석함으로써 시스템 성능을 나타낼 수 있는 최적화 문제를 정의한다. 또한 이것을 풀기위한 해법으로 유전자 알고리즘을 이용한 RFID 리더 자원할당 기법이 제안된다. 따라서 주어진 RFID 환경을 충실하게 반영하여 리더의 충돌을 회피할 수 있는 최적의 자원할당을 이룰 수 있다.

A multi-spot-beam satellite is an attractive technique for future satellite communications since it can support high data rates by projecting high power density to each spot beam and can reuse a frequency in different cells to increase the total system capacity. In this letter, we propose a resource management technique adjusting the bandwidth of each beam to minimize the difference between the traffic demand and allocated capacity. This represents a reasonable solution for dynamic bandwidth allocation, considering a trade-off between the maximum total capacity and fairness among the spot beams with different traffic demands.

The rapid development of mobile communication not only has made the industry gradually diversified, but also has enhanced the service quality requirements of users. In this regard, it is imperative to consider jointly network slicing and mobile edge computing. The former mainly ensures the requirements of varied vertical services preferably, and the latter solves the conflict between the user's own energy and harsh latency. At present, the integration of the two faces many challenges and need to carry out at different levels. The main target of the paper is to minimize the energy consumption of the system, and introduce a multi-slice joint task offloading and resource allocation scheme for massive multiple input multiple output enabled heterogeneous networks. The problem is formulated by collaborative optimizing offloading ratios, user association, transmission power and resource slicing, while being limited by the dissimilar latency and rate of multi-slice. To solve it, assign the optimal problem to two sub-problems of offloading decision and resource allocation, then solve them separately by exploiting the alternative optimization technique and Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions. Finally, a novel slices task offloading and resource allocation algorithm is proposed to get the offloading and resource allocation strategies. Numerous simulation results manifest that the proposed scheme has certain feasibility and effectiveness, and its performance is better than the other baseline scheme.

Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) and Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) are both recognized as promising techniques, one is for solving the resource insufficient of mobile devices and the other is for powering the mobile device. Naturally, by integrating the two techniques, task will be capable of being executed by the harvested energy which makes it possible that less intrinsic energy consumption for task execution. However, this innovative integration is facing several challenges inevitably. In this paper, we aim at prolonging the battery life of mobile device for which we need to maximize the harvested energy and minimize the consumed energy simultaneously, which is formulated as residual energy maximization (REM) problem where the offloading ratio, energy harvesting time, CPU frequency and transmission power of mobile device are all considered as key factors. To this end, we jointly optimize the offloading ratio, energy harvesting time, CPU frequency and transmission power of mobile device to solve the REM problem. Furthermore, we propose an efficient convex optimization and sequential unconstrained minimization technique based combining method to solve the formulated multi-constrained nonlinear optimization problem. The result shows that our joint optimization outperforms the single optimization on REM problem. Besides, the proposed algorithm is more efficiency.

Conducting nonlinear pushover analysis typically demands intricate and resource-intensive computational efforts, involving a highly iterative process necessary for meeting both design-defined and requirements of codes in performance-based design. This study presents a computer-based technique for reinforced concrete (RC) buildings, incorporating optimization numerical approaches, optimality criteria and pushover analysis to automatically enhance seismic design performance. The optimal design of concrete beams, columns and shear walls in concrete frames is presented using the artificial bee colony optimization algorithm. The methodology is applied to three frames: a 4-story, an 8-story and a 12-story. These structures are designed to minimize overall weight while satisfying the levels of performance including Life Safety (LS), Collapse Prevention (CP), and Immediate Occupancy (IO). The process involves three main steps: first, optimization codes are implemented in MATLAB software, and the OpenSees software is used for nonlinear static analysis. By solving the optimization problem, several top designs are obtained for each frame and shear wall. Pushover analysis is conducted considering the constraints on relative displacement and plastic hinge rotation based on the nonlinear provisions of the FEMA356 nonlinear provisions to achieve each level of performance. Subsequently, convergence, pushover, and drift history curves are plotted for each frame, and leading to the selection of the best design. The results demonstrate that the algorithm effectively achieves optimal designs with reduced weight, meeting the desired performance criteria.

In the last decade, the increasing restrictions imposed on the exhaust emissions from internal combustion engines and traffic limitations have increased the development of electrical propulsion systems for automotive applications. The goal of electrical and hybrid vehicles is the reduction of global emissions, which in turn leads to a decrease in fuel resource exploitation. This paper presents a novel approach for control of Induction Motors (IM) using the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm to optimize the parameters of the Proportional Integral Controller (PI-Controller). The overall system is simulated under various operating conditions. The use of PSO as an optimization algorithm makes the drive robust and insensitive to load variation with faster dynamic response and higher accuracy. The system is tested under variable operating conditions. The simulation results show a positive dynamic response with fast recovery time.
