This paper proposes an efficient constraint-based optimization model for the design of 3G mobile networks, such as universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS). The model concerns about finding a set of sites for locating radio network controllers (RNCs) from a set of pre-defined candidate sites, and at the same time optimally assigning node Bs to the selected RNCs. All these choices must satisfy a set of constraints and optimize an objective function. This problem is NP-hard and consequently cannot be practically solved by exact methods for real size networks. Thus, this paper proposes a hybrid search strategy for tackling this complex and combinatorial optimization problem. The proposed hybrid search strategy is composed of three phases: A constraint satisfaction method with an embedded problem-specific goal which guides the search for a good initial solution, an optimization phase using local search algorithms, such as tabu algorithm, and a post­optimization phase to improve solutions from the second phase by using a constraint optimization procedure. Computational results show that the proposed search strategy and the model are highly efficient. Optimal solutions are always obtained for small or medium sized problems. For large sized problems, the final results are on average within $5.77\%$ to $7.48\%$ of the lower bounds.

컨테이너 터미널의 주요 생산성 지표는 안벽에서의 작업 효율성이라 할 수 있다. 안벽에서는 Q/C(Quay Crane)이라는 장비가 접안 선박의 컨테이너를 하역한다. Q/C의 작업 생산성을 높이기 위해서는 좀 더 효율적인 Y/T(Yard Tractor)운영 방식이 필요하다. 기존 작업 방식(싱글 사이클)에서는 양하작업 이후 적하 작업이 이루어진다. 듀얼 사이클이란 양하작업과 적하 작업을 동시에 함으로써 안벽 생산성과 야드 트랙터의 이용률을 높이는 방법이다. 터미널에서 듀얼 사이클의 도입은 추가적인 장비의 도입 없이 운영에서의 변화만을 요구한다. 즉, 기존의 dedicate 시스템에서 pooling 시스템으로의 변화가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 듀얼 사이클을 이용하는 항만에서의 작업 효율성을 증대시키기 위한 선적 계획 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 이 문제를 풀기위해 유전 알고리즘과 타부서치를 제시하였다.

It is one of the most important things to determinate optimized cutting conditions which satisfy productivity and cost simultaneously in production and CAPP systems. These days many researchers have figured out the optimizing way for solutions of multi-object function to find the approach methods using algorithm such as genetic algorithm or tabu search, etc., instead of mathematical methods. The main creation of objective function is proposed by empirical method but which is difficult to set it up and to analysis. In this paper, an optimization method of cutting condition is shown using the ANN and GA for the multi-objective function in high speed machining.

Connected-(r,s)-out of-(m,n) : F system is an important topic in redundancy design of the complex system reliability and it's maintenance policy. Previous studies applied Monte Carlo simulation and genetic, simulated annealing algorithms to tackle the difficulty of maintenance policy problem. These algorithms suggested most suitable maintenance cycle to optimize maintenance pattern of connected-(r,s)-out of-(m,n) : F system. However, genetic algorithm is required long execution time relatively and simulated annealing has improved computational time but rather poor solutions. In this paper, we propose the ant colony optimization approach for connected-(r,s)-out of-(m,n) : F system that determines maintenance cycle and minimum unit cost. Computational results prove that ant colony optimization algorithm is superior to genetic algorithm, simulated annealing and tabu search in both execution time and quality of solution.

열의 수가 수십만에 이르는 대규모 maximal covering 문제(MCP)를 유전 알고리즘을 통해 해결하는 것에는 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 대규모 MCP를 유전알고리즘이 효율적으로 풀 수 있도록 하기 위해 특별히 고안된 교차 연산자와 돌연변이 연산자를 소개한다. 또한, 본 연구에서는 비발현 유전자를 사용하는 새로운 유전 알고리즘을 제시한다. 비발현 유전자는 유전 연산 과정에서 상실될 정보 중 이후의 세대에서 유용할 가능성이 있는 정보를 자손에게 전달하기 위해 보존하는 역할만 할 뿐, 발현되지 않음으로 인해 해의 평가 시에는 반영되지 않는 유전자이다. 비발현 유전자를 사용하는 유전 알고리즘은 집단의 다양성을 유지하는데 유리하여 대규모 MCP를 해결하는데 있어서 보다 효율적으로 탐색을 수행할 수 있다. 현장의 대규모 MCP 데이타로 실험한 결과 비발현 유전자를 가진 유전 알고리즘이 이웃해 탐색 알고리즘인 타부 탐색보다 훨씬 우수한 탐색 성능을 보임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Overlay multicast is an emerging technology for next generation Internet service to various groups of multicast members. It will take the place of traditional IP multicast which is not widely deployed due to the complex nature of its technology. The overlay multicast which effectively reduces processing at IP routers can be easily deployed on top of a densely connected IP network. An end-to-end delay problem is considered which is serious in the multicast service. To periodically optimize the route in the overlay network and to minimize the maximum end-to-end delay, overlay multicast tree is investigated with genetic Algorithm. Outstanding experimental results are obtained which is comparable to the optimal solution and the tabu search.

in the real world situations that some jobs need be processed only on certain limited machines frequently occur due to the capacity restrictions of machines such as tools fixtures or material handling equipment. In this paper we consider n-job non-preemptive and m parallel machines scheduling problem having two machines group. The objective function is to minimize the sum of earliness and tardiness with different release times and due dates. The problem is formulated as a mixed integer programming problem. The problem is proved to be Np-complete. Thus a heuristic is developed to solve this problem. To illustrate its suitability and efficiency a proposed heuristic is compared with a genetic algorithm and tabu search for a large number of randomly generated test problems in ship engine assembly shop. Through the experimental results it is showed that the proposed algorithm yields good solutions efficiently.

This study suggests a procedure for designing cellular manufacturing systems (CMS) which are combined with automated guided vehicles (AGVs) using a tandem configuration. So far most of the previous studies have dealt with conventional design problems not considering the layout and the characteristics of transporters used in CMS. A mathematical model is developed using the service time to perform material transfers as a suitable meassure. The service capacity of AGVs and space limitations are also reflected in this model. As the model can be shown strongly NP-hard, a heuristic algorithm is presented, in which each cell is temporarily formed using both the set covering model and similarity coefficients, and then locations of the cells are determined by means of tabu search and finally machine perturbations are carried out. An example problem is solved to demonstrate the algorithm developed.

Global optimization is a method for finding more reliable models in various fields, such as financial engineering, pattern recognition, process optimization. In this study, we compare and analyze the performance of the state-of-the-art global optimization techniques, which include Genetic Algorithm (DE,SCGA), Simulated Annealing (ASA, DSSA, SAHPS), Tabu & Direct Search (DTS, DIRECT), Deterministic (MCS, SNOBIT), and Trust-Region algorithm. The test functions for the experiments are Benchmark problems in Hedar & Fukushima (2004), which are evaluated with respect to efficiency and accuracy. Through the experiment, we analyse the computational complexity of the methods and finally discuss the pros and cons of them.

There was a lot of research to integration of the transshipment and inventory problem in supply chain. Such a integration of inventory and transshipment problem called IRP (Inventory Routing Problem). We consider a distribution problem in which a set of products has to be shipped from a supplier to several retailers in a given planning horizon. Transshipment from the supplier to the retailer is performed by vehicles of limited capacity. Each retailer determines replenishment leadtime and order quantity with buffer management. A supplier determines optimal vehicle routing in supply chain. We suggest a heuristic algorithm which be used TOC buffer management in a replenishment problem and a tabu search algorithm in VRP (Vehicle Routing Problem).
