This paper deals with a simulated annealing neural network model for determining sequences of models inputted into a mixed model assembly line. We first present a energy function fitting to our problem, next determine the value of the parameters of the energy function using convergence ratio and the number of searched feasible solution. Finally we compare our model NMS with the modified Thomopoulos model. The result of the comparison shows that NMS and Thomopoulos offer a similar output in the problems having good smoothness.

Simulated annealing(SA) has been admitted as a general purpose optimization technique which can be utilized for almost all kinds of combinatorial optimization problems without much difficulty. But there are still some weak points to be resolved, one of which is the slow speed of convergence. In this study, we carefully review various previous efforts to improve SA and propose some variations of SA which can enhance the speed of convergence to the optimum solution. Then, we apply the revised SA algorithms to the scheduling and hardware allocation problems occurring in high-level synthesis(HLS) of VLSI design. We confirm the efficiency of the proposed methods through several HLS examples.

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.

Sequence-Pair(SP)는 플로어플랜을 표현하는 모델 중 하나로써, 일반적으로 SP 모델을 사용하는 플로 어프래너 (floorplanner)는 Simulated-Annealing (SA) 알고리즙을 통해 해 탐색 과정을 수행한다. SP 모델을 이용한 다양한 논문에서 플로어플랜 성능 향상을 위해 평가함수의 개선과 스케줄링 기법 향상을 모색하였으며, 평가함수의 경우 O(nlogn) 시간 알고리즘이 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 SP 모델을 이용한 SA 기법에서 SA의 해 탐색 과정 중 초기 해 탐색 시점에서 좋은 해를 빠르게 찾을 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 기존의 SA 프레임펙을 수정한 2단계 SA 알고리즘으로써 SP에 대응하는 배치를 압축하고 압축한 배치를 역변환하는 과정으로 구성된다. 실험과 결과를 통해 제안기법의 효과를 보이며, 평균적으로 동일한 SA 환경 하에서 제안기법이 최종결과 면에서 우수함을 보인다.

Automotive and aircraft assembly process rely on fixtures to support and coordinate parts and subassemblies. Fixture layout in multi-station panel assemblies has a direct dimensional effect on final products and thus presents a quality problem. This paper describes a methodology for fixture layout design in multi -station assembly processes. An optimal fixture layout improves the robustness of a fixture system against environmental noises, reduces product variability, and eventually leads to manufacturing cost reduction. One of the difficulties raised by multi-station fixture layout design is the overwhelmingly large number of design alternatives. This makes it difficult to find a global optimality and, if an inefficient algorithm is used, may require prohibitive computing time. In this paper, simulated annealing is adopted and appropriate parameters are selected to find good fixture layouts. A four-station assembly process for a sport utility vehicle (SUV) side frame is used throughout the paper to illustrate the efficiency and effectiveness of this methodology.

A rapid Prototyping system that laser-cuts and laminates thick layers can fabricate 3D objects promptly with a variety of materials. Building such a system must consider the surface distortions due to both vertical-cut layers and triangular surfaces. We developed a tangential layer-cutting algorithm by rearranging tangential lines such that they reconstruct 3D surfaces more closely and also constitute smoother laser trajectories. An energy function that reflects the surface-closeness with the tangential lines was formulated and then the energy was minimized by a gradient descent method. Since this simple method tends to cause many local minima for complex 3D objects, we tried to solve this problem by adding a simulated annealing process to the proposed method. To view and manipulate 3D objects, we also implemented a 3D visual environment. Under this environment, experiments on various 3D objects showed that our algorithm effectively approximates 3D surfaces and makes laser-trajectory feasibly smooth.

본 연구는 물류 개선이 시급하고, 전자상거래 등으로 인한 물류 거점의 확보가 중요시되고 있는 현실의 문제점을 개선하기 위해 Simulated Annealing 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이미 위치가 설정된 노드의 요구에 최소비용으로 원활히 대응하기 위한 다 물류센터의 최적 위치와 할당영역, 규모를 결정하고, 각 물류센터가 담당한 영역의 노드를 반드시 한번씩 경유하여 처음 위치로 돌아오는 최소비용의 경로를 탐색한다. 이러한 과정을 위해 두 개의 모델인 1) 다 물류센터의 위치결정을 통한 규모결정과 영역할당모델, 2) 경로계획 모델을 개발한다. 거리산정방법과 물동량에 따른 가중치를 적용한 다양한 물류센터의 위치결정과 규모결정, 각 물류센터별 영역을 할당하여 단 물류센터의 문제로 만든 후 경로계획을 실시하여 최소비용의 경로(Tour)를 구하는 알고리즘을 개발하고 Sample을 적용한다.

Purpose This study develops a heuristic algorithm to solve the time-resource tradeoffs in project scheduling problems with a real basis. Design/methodology/approach Resource constrained project scheduling problem with time-resource tradeoff is well-known as one of the NP-hard problems. Previous researchers have proposed heuristic that minimize Makespan of project scheduling by deriving optimal combinations from finite combinations of time and resource. We studied to solve project scheduling problems by deriving optimal values from infinite combinations. Findings We developed heuristic algorithm named Push Algorithm that derives optimal combinations from infinite combinations of time and resources. Developed heuristic algorithm based on simulated annealing shows better improved results than genetic algorithm and further research suggestion was discussed as a project scheduling problem with multiple resources of real numbers.

In the Reporting Cell Location Management (RCLM) system, a subset of cells in the network is designated as the reporting cells. Each mobile terminal performs location update only when it enters one of these reporting cells. When a call arrives, the paging is confined to the reporting cell the user last reported and the neighboring bounded non-reporting cells. Frequent location update may result in degradation of quality of service due to interference. Miss on the location of a mobile terminal will necessitate a search operation on the network when a call comes in. We must decide the number of reporting cells and which cell should be reporting cell to balance the registration (location update) and search (paging) operations to minimize the cost of RCLM system. This paper proposes a simulated annealing (SA) for optimization of RCLM system.

We have already presented the constraint satisfaction algorithm which could solve the losed loop problem in constraint network by using local constraint propagation, variable elimination and constraint modularization. With this algorithm, we have implemented a knowledge-based system (intelligent CAD) for supporting machine design interactively. In this paper, we present newer constraint satisfaction algorithm which can solve inequalities or under-constrained problems in constraint network, interactively and efficiently. This algorithm is a hybrid type of using both declarative description (constraint represention) and optimization algorithm (Simulated Annealing), simultaneously. The under-constrained problems are represented by constraint networks and satisfied completely with this algorithm. The usefulness of our algorithm will be illustrated by the application to a gear design.
