A fixed k-coloring problem is introduced and dealt with by efficient heuristic algorithms. It is shown that the problem can be transformed into the graph partitioning problem. Initial coloring and improving methods are proposed for problems with and with and without the size restriction. Algorithm Move, LEE and OEE are developed by modifying the Kernighan-Lin's two way uniform partitioning procedure. The use of global information in the selection of the node and the color set made the proposed algorithms superior to the existing method. The computational result also shows that the superiority does not sacrifice the time demand of the proposed algorithms.

In this paper, we propose a methodology solving the problem of the hardware-software partitioning in reconfigurable systems using a Y-chart design space exploration and implement a simulator according to the methodology. The methodology generates a mapping set between tasks and hardware elements using the hardware element model and the application model. We evaluate the throughput by simulating cases in each mapping set. With the throughput evaluation result, we can select the mapping case with the highest throughput. We also propose an heuristic improving the simulation time by reducing the mapping set on the basis of the relationship between workload and parallelism. Simulation results show that we can reduce the size of mapping set which poses difficulties on hardware-software partitioning by up to 80%.

Multithreaded model is an effective parallel system in that it can reduce the long memory reference latency time and solve the synchronization problems. When compiling the non-strict functional programs for the multithreaded parallel machine, the most important thing is to find an set of sequentially executable instructions and to partitions them into threads. The existing partitioning algorithm partitions the condition of conditional expression, true expression and false expression into the basic blocks and apply local partitioning to these basic blocks. We can do the better partitioning if we modify the definition of the thread and allow the branching within the thread. The branching within the thread do not reduce the parallelism, do not increase the number of synchronization and do not violate the basic rule of the thread partitioning. On the contrary, it can lengthen the thread and reduce the number of synchronization. In the paper, we enhance the method of the partition of threads by combining the three basic blocks into one of two blocks.

P-gp (P-glycoprotein) is a member of the ATP binding cassette (ABC) family of transporters. It transports many kinds of anticancer drugs out of the cell. It plays a major role as a cause of multidrug resistance (MDR). MDR function may be a cause of the failure of chemotherapy in cancer and influence pharmacokinetic properties of many drugs. Hence classification of candidate drugs as substrates or nonsubstrate of the P-gp is important in drug development. Therefore to identify whether a compound is a P-gp substrate or not, in silico method is promising. Recursive Partitioning (RP) method was explored for prediction of P-gp substrate. A set of 261 compounds, including 146 substrates and 115 nonsubstrates of P-gp, was used to training and validation. Using molecular descriptors that we can interpret their own meaning, we have established two models for prediction of P-gp substrates. In the first model, we chose only 6 descriptors which have simple physical meaning. In the training set, the overall predictability of our model is 78.95%. In case of test set, overall predictability is 69.23%. Second model with 2D and 3D descriptors shows a little better predictability (overall predictability of training set is 79.29%, test set is 79.37%), the second model with 2D and 3D descriptors shows better discriminating power than first model with only 2D descriptors. This approach will be used to reduce the number of compounds required to be run in the P-gp efflux assay.

The vehicle routing problem (VRP) is to determine a set of feasible vehicle routes, one for each vehicle, such that each customer is visited exactly once and the total distance travelled by the vehicles is minimized. A feasible route is defined as a simple circuit including the depot such that the total demand of the customers in the route does not exceed the vehicle capacity. While there have been significant advances recently in exact solution methodology, the VRP is not a well solved problem. We find most approaches still relying on the branch and bound method. These approaches employ various methodologies to compute a lower bound on the optimal value. We introduce a new modelling approach, termed route-splitting, for the VRP that allows us to address problems whose size is beyond the current computational range of set-partitioning models. The route-splitting model splits each vehicle route into segments, and results in more tractable subproblems. Lifting much of the burden of solving combinatorially hard subproblems, the route-splitting approach puts more weight on the LP master problem, Recent breakthroughs in solving LP problems (Nemhauser, 1994) bode well for our approach. Lower bounds are computed on five symmetric VRPs with up to 199 customers, and eight asymmetric VRPs with up to 70 customers. while it is said that the exact methods developed for asymmetric instances have in general a poor performance when applied to symmetric ones (Toth and Vigo, 2002), the route splitting approach shows a competent performance of 93.5% on average in the symmetric VRPs. For the asymmetric ones, the approach comes up with lower bounds of 97.6% on average. The route-splitting model can deal with asymmetric cost matrices and non-identical vehicles. Given the ability of the route-splitting model to address a wider range of applications and its good performance on asymmetric instances, we find the model promising and valuable for further research.

In this paper, a novel trellis-coded spatial modulation (TCSM) design method is presented and analyzed. Inspired by the key idea of trellis-coded modulation (TCM), the detailed analysis is firstly provided on the unequal error protection performance of spatial modulation constellation. Subsequently, the Ungerboeck set partitioning rule is proposed and applied to develop a general method to design the novel TCSM schemes. Different from the conventional TCSM approaches, the novel one based on the Ungerboeck set partitioning rule has similar properties as the classic TCM, which has simple but effective code design criteria. Moreover, the novel designed schemes are robust and adaptive to the generalized Rician fading channels, which outperform the traditional TCSM ones. For examples, the novel 4-, 8-, and 16-state TCSM schemes are constructed by employing different transmit antennas and different modulation schemes in different channel conditions. Simulation results clearly demonstrate the advantages of the novel TCSM schemes over the conventional ones.

For parallel processing, the compiler partitions a loaded program into a set of tasks and makes a schedule for the tasks that will minimize parallel processing time for the loaded program. Building an optimal schedule for a given set of partitioned tasks of a program has known to be NP-complete. In this paper we introduce a GA(Genetic Algorithm)-based scheduling method in which a chromosome consists of two parts of a string which decide the number and order of tasks on each processor. An additional computation is used for feasibility constraint in the chromosome. By granularity theory, a partitioned program is categorized into coarse-grain or fine-grain types. There exist good heuristic algorithms for coarse-grain type partitioning. We suggested another GA adaptive to the coarse-grain type partitioning. The infeasibility of chromosome is overcome by the encoding and operators. The number of processors are decided while the GA find the minimum parallel processing time.

본 논문에서는 웨이블릿(wavelet) 변환된 영상의 압축 방법으로 사용되는 SPIHT(Set Partitioning In Hierarchical Trees)을 이용하여 워터마크를 삽입하는 방법을 제안하였다. 기존의 특정 대역에만 워터마크를 삽입하는 방법은 화질열화와 압축의 두 가지 문제점을 동시에 해결할 수 없었다. 제안된 방법은 웨이블릿 변환된 영상의 계수 값이 동일한 방향을 갖는 부대역 간에 상관관계를 갖는 점을 이용하여 특정 대역이 아닌 중요 계수에만 워터마크를 삽입하므로써 강인성과 비 가시성이 증가되도록 하였다. 워터마크의 추출은 워터마크된 영상과 PN(Pseudo Noise)코드와의 계수 차를 이용하였으며, 워터마크가 삽입된 영상의 인증을 위해 통계학적인 접근 방법을 사용하였다. 실험을 통하여 워터마크가 삽입된 영상에 대해 손실 압축, 잡음, 크로핑, 리사이즈, 콜루션의 공격을 가한 결과 평균 유사도 값이 0.987의 높은 추출율을 보여 강인성을 입증하였다.

We deal with facility layout problems with shape constraints. A simulated annealing algorithm is developed for the problems. In the algorithm, a solution is encoded as a matrix that has information about relative locations of the facilities in the floor. A block layout is constructed by partitioning the floor into a set of rectangular blocks according to the information while satisfying areas of facilities. In this paper, three methods are suggested for the partitioning procedure and they are employed in the simulated annealing algorithm. Results of computational experiments show that the proposed algorithm performs better than existing algorithms, especially for problems with tight shape constraints.
