  • PDA나 휴대폰 단말로 여러 속성의 데이터를 이용하여 사용자에게 필요한 정보를 제공하는 위치기반 서비스는 물류/운송 정보 서비스, 버스/지하철 노선 안내 서비스 등에 사용된다. 여기에서 제공하는 데이터들을 최적 경로를 구하는 외판원 순회문제 (Traveling Salesman Problem)에 사용한다면 더 정확한 경로 서비스 제공이 가능하다. 하지만 데이터의 수가 많아질수록 비교 횟수가 기하급수적으로 늘어나는 외판원 순회 알고리즘의 특성상 일반 단말기에서 활용하기에는 배터리의 제약이 따른다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 단점을 해결하기 위해서 최적 경로의 후보군을 줄일 수 있는 스카이라인 질의를 이용하여 n차원 속성에 대한 최적 경로 알고리즘을 제안한다. 실험에서 정확도와 오차율을 통해 제안한 방식의 유용성을 보였으며 기존방식과 연산시간 차이를 비교하여 다차원방식의 효율성을 나타내었다.

  • In this paper, we study the relationship between infection rates of covid 19 and the precautionary measures and strict protocols taken by Saudi Arabia to combat the spread of the coronavirus disease and minimize the number of infected people. Based on the infection rates and the timetable of precautionary measures, the best framework of precautionary measures was identified by applying the traveling salesman problem (TSP) that relies on ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithms. The proposed algorithm was applied to daily infected cases data in Saudi Arabia during three periods of precautionary measures: partial curfew, whole curfew, and gatherings penalties. The results showed the partial curfew and the whole curfew for some cities have the minimum total cases over other precautionary measures. The gatherings penalties had no real effect in reducing infected cases as the other two precautionary measures. Therefore, in future similar circumstances, we recommend first applying the partial curfew and the whole curfew for some cities, and not considering the gatherings penalties as an effective precautionary measure. We also recommend re-study the application of the grouping penalty, to identify the reasons behind the lack of its effectiveness in reducing the number of infected cases.

  • In this paper an approximate solution method for the large-scale Traveling Salesman Problem(TSP) is presented. The method start with the subdivision of the problem domain into a number of clusters by considering their geometries. The clusters have limited number of nodes so as to get local solutions. They are linked to give the least path which covers the whole domain and become TSPs with start- and end-node. The approximate local solutions in each cluster are obtained by using geometrical property of the cluster, and combined to give an overall-approximate solution for the large-scale TSP.

  • DNA(Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid)컴퓨팅은 생체분자를 계산의 도구로 이용하는 새로운 계산 방법으로 DNA 정보 저장능력과 DNA의 상보적인 관계를 이용하여 연산을 수행하는 방법이다. 최근에는 DNA 분자들이 갖는 강력한 병렬성을 이용하여 NP-Complete 문제에 적용하는 연구가 많이 시도되고 있다. Adleman이 DNA 컴퓨팅을 이용해 해결한 HPP(Hamilton Path Problem)와는 달리 TSP(Traveling Salesman Problem)는 간선에 가중치가 추가되었기 때문에 DNA 염기배열로 표현하기가 어렵고 또한 염기배열의 길이를 줄이기 위해 고정길이 염기배열을 사용할 경우 가중치가 커지면 효율적이지 못하다. 본 논문에서는 스무딩 알고리즘(smoothing algorithm)을 사용하여 간선의 가중치를 일정한 비율로 줄인 다음 유전자 알고리즘을 사용하여 최적의 염기배열을 찾는 방법을 제안하였다.

  • Ant Algorithm is used to find the solution of Combinatorial Optimization Problems. Real ants are capable of finding the shortest path from a food source to their nest without using visual informations. This behavior of real ants has inspired ant algorithm. There are various versions of Ant Algorithm. Ant Colony System (ACS) is introduced lately. ACS is applied to the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) for verifying the availability of ACS and evaluating the performance of ACS. ACS find a good solution for TSP When ACS is applied to different Combinatorial Optimization Problems, ACS uses the same parameters and strategies that were used for TSP. In this paper, ACS is applied to the Multicast Routing Problem. This Problem is to find the paths from a source to all destination nodes. This definition differs from that of TSP and differs from finding paths which are the shortest paths from source node to each destination nodes. We introduce parameters and strategies of ACS for Multicasting Routing Problem.

  • The environment for surface mounting machines plays an important role in a throughput. An approach to organize the optimal integrated environment for surface mounting machines is presented to increase a throughput. An optimization problem is divided into a feeder setting problem and a task sequencing problem. Two algorithms for each problem are proposed. The feeder setting problems is optimized by an algorithm based on heuristic methods. The task sequencing problem is modeled as a TSP(Traveling salesman problem). An algorithm based on a heuristic tour-to-tour improvement method for TSP is proposed to optimize the task sequencing problem. A simulation is carried out to test developed algorithms.

  • A sequencing problem is to find an ordered sequence of some entities which maximizes (or minimize) the domain specific objective function. As some typical examples of sequencing problems, there are traveling salesman problem, job shop scheduling, flow shop scheduling, and so on. This paper introduces a new type of sequencing problems, named a sequencing problem with fuzzy preference relation, where a fuzzy preference relation is provided for the evaluation of the quality of sequences. It presents how such a problem can be formulated in terms of objective function. It also proposes a genetic algorithm applicable to such a sequencing problem.

  • One of the important fields for heuristic algorithm is how to balance between Intensification and Diversification. Ant Colony Optimization(ACO) is a new meta heuristic algorithm to solve hard combinatorial optimization problem. It is a population based approach that uses exploitation of positive feedback as well as Breedy search It was first Proposed for tackling the well known Traveling Salesman Problem(TSP). In this paper, we deal with the performance improvement techniques through balance the Intensification and Diversification in Ant Colony System(ACS). First State Transition considering the number of times that agents visit about each edge makes agents search more variously and widen search area. After setting up criteria which divide elite tour that receive Positive Intensification about each tour, we propose a method to do addition Intensification by the criteria. Implemetation of the algorithm to solve TSP and the performance results under various conditions are conducted, and the comparision between the original An and the proposed method is shown. It turns out that our proposed method can compete with the original ACS in terms of solution quality and computation speed to these problem.
