We consider a postal transportation planning in the transportation network of the form of hub and spoke. Given mail sorting centers and an exchange center, available vehicles and amount of mails to be transported between mail sorting centers, postal transportation planning is to make a transportation plan without violating various restrictions. The objective is to minimize the total transportation cost. To solve the problem, a tabu search algorithm is Proposed. The algorithm is composed of a route construction procedure and a route improvement procedure to improve a solution obtained by the route construction procedure using a tabu search. Computational results show that the proposed algorithm can solve practically sized problems within a reasonable time and the quality of the solution is acceptable.

In the future, the sorting machines will be taken charge of the most part of the letter sorting operations. At present, in order to deliver the sorted letters by the next day, many labors are intensively committed in the letter sorting operations. This research analyzes the problem of the facilities layout in registry department of mail center. It presents an improved design of facilities layout in comparison with several alternatives including the current layout using AutoCAD and FactoryCAD. It presents the optimized facilities layout using the algorithm which is embedded in the FactoryOPT. By the result of this research, we expect that the productivity of sorting letter will be improved and the related total labor cost will be minimized.

In modern electronic warfare, a number of radar emitters are in operation, causing radar receivers to receive high-density signal pulses that occur simultaneously. To analyze the radar signals more accurately and identify enemies, the sorting process of high-density radar signals is very important before analysis. Recently, machine learning algorithms, specifically K-means clustering, are the subject of research aimed at improving the accuracy of radar signal sorting. One of the challenges faced by these studies is that the clustering results can vary depending on how the initial points are selected and how many clusters number are set. This paper introduces a repeated K-means clustering algorithm that aims to accurately cluster all data by identifying and addressing false clusters in the radar sorting problem. To verify the performance of the proposed algorithm, experiments are conducted by applying it to simulated signals that are generated by a signal generator.

In this paper, a novel packet scheduling algorithm, so-called the CSL algorithm is discussed, whereby the firewall property as well as the deterministic delay bound guarantee are supported in session level. Lots of simulation studies validate those properties of the CSL algorithm. The CSL algorithm is distingushable from the well- known EDD scheme in terms of the firewall property. Regarding the implementation complexity, the CSL algorithm turns out to be of 0(1) besides the sorting overhead. Owing to the maintained generic fair queueing structure in the CSL algorithm, a various fair queueing schemes can be applied with minor modification. For the TCP/IP network which is vulnerable to the misbehaving traffic sources, the firewall property of the CSL algorithm is quite useful for the advanced quality of services.

In Korea and Japan, dried oak mushrooms are classified into 12 to 16 different categories based on its external visual quality. And grading used to be done manually by the human expert and is limited to the randomly sampled oak mushrooms. Visual features of dried oak mushrooms dominate its quality and are distributed over both sides of the gill and the cap. The 2nd prototype computer vision based automatic grading and sorting system for dried oak mushrooms was developed based on the 1st prototype. Sorting function was improved and overall system for grading was simplified to one stage grading instead of two stage grading by inspecting both front and back sides of mushrooms. Neuro-net based side(gill or cap) recognition algorithm of the fed mushroom was adopted. Grading was performed with both images of gill and cap using neural network. A real time simultaneous discharge algorithm, which is good for objects randomly fed individually and for multi-objects located along a series of discharge buckets, was developed and implemented to the controller and the performance was verified. Two hundreds samples chosen from 10 samples per 20 grade categories were used to verify the performance of each unit such as feeding, reversing, grading, and discharging unites. Test results showed that success rates of one-line feeding, reversing, grading, and discharging functions were 93%, 95%, 94%, and 99% respectively. The developed prototype revealed successful performance such as the approximate sorting capability of 3,600 mushrooms/hr per each line i.e. average 1sec/mushroom. Considering processing time of approximate 0.2 sec for grading, it was desired to reduce time to reverse a mushroom to acquire the reversed surface image.

Sorting is an important data structure in many applications in the real world. Several sorting algorithms are currently in use for searching and other operations. Sorting algorithms rearrange the elements of an array or list based on the elements' comparison operators. The comparison operator is used in the accurate data structure to establish the new order of elements. This report analyzes and compares the time complexity and running time theoretically and experimentally of insertion, merge, and heap sort algorithms. Java language is used by the NetBeans tool to implement the code of the algorithms. The results show that when dealing with sorted elements, insertion sort has a faster running time than merge and heap algorithms. When it comes to dealing with a large number of elements, it is better to use the merge sort. For the number of comparisons for each algorithm, the insertion sort has the highest number of comparisons.

A sort sequence $S_n$ is a sequence of all unordered pairs of indices in $I_n\;=\;{1,\;2,v...,\;n}$. With a sort sequence Sn we assicuate a sorting algorithm ($AS_n$) to sort input set $X\;=\;{x_1,\;x_2,\;...,\;x_n}$ as follows. An execution of the algorithm performs pairwise comparisons of elements in the input set X as defined by the sort sequence $S_n$, except that the comparisons whose outcomes can be inferred from the outcomes of the previous comparisons are not performed. Let $X(S_n)$ denote the acverage number of comparisons required by the algorithm $AS_n$ assuming all input orderings are equally likely. Let $X^{\ast}(n)\;and\;X^{\circ}(n)$ denote the minimum and maximum value respectively of $X(S_n)$ over all sort sequences $S_n$. Exact determination of $X^{\ast}(n),\;X^{\circ}(n)$ and associated extremal sort sequenes seems difficult. Here, we obtain bounds on $X^{\ast}(n)\;and\;X^{\circ}(n)$.

정렬 알고리즘에서 사용한 원소 간 비교횟수를 기준으로, 비교횟수가 많게 되는 순열을 최악의 인스턴스(worst-case instance)라 명명하고 이를 찾기 위해 유전 알고리즘(genetic algorithm)을 사용하였다. 잘 알려진 퀵 정렬(quick sort), 머지 정렬(merge sort), 힙 정렬(heap sort), 삽입 정렬(insertion sort), 쉘 정렬(shell sort), 개선된 퀵 정렬(advanced quick sort)에 대해서 실험하였다. 머지 정렬과 삽입 정렬에 대해 탐색한 인스턴스는 최악의 인스턴스에 거의 근접하였다. 퀵 정렬은 크기가 증가함에 따라 최악의 인스턴스 탐색이 어려웠다. 나머지 정렬에 대해서 찾은 인스턴스는 최악의 인스턴스인지 이론적으로 보장할 수 없지만, 임의의 1,000개 순열을 정렬해서 얻은 비교횟수들의 평균치보다는 훨씬 높았다. 본 논문의 최악의 인스턴스를 탐색하는 시도는 알고리즘의 성능 검증을 위한 테스트 데이터를 생성한다는 점에서 의미가 크다.

This paper discusses the application of evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithms namely Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II) and Modified NSGA-II (MNSGA-II) for solving the Combined Economic Emission Dispatch (CEED) problem with valve-point loading. The valve-point loading introduce ripples in the input-output characteristics of generating units and make the CEED problem as a non-smooth optimization problem. IEEE 57-bus and IEEE 118-bus systems are taken to validate its effectiveness of NSGA-II and MNSGA-II. To compare the Pareto-front obtained using NSGA-II and MNSGA-II, reference Pareto-front is generated using multiple runs of Real Coded Genetic Algorithm (RCGA) with weighted sum of objectives. Furthermore, three different performance metrics such as convergence, diversity and Inverted Generational Distance (IGD) are calculated for evaluating the closeness of obtained Pareto-fronts. Numerical results reveal that MNSGA-II algorithm performs better than NSGA-II algorithm to solve the CEED problem effectively.
