Vehicle routing problem is one of the traveling salesman problems with various conditions such as vehicle capacity limits, delivery time windows, as well as time dependent speeds in metropolitan area. In this research hourly vehicle moving speeds information in a typical metropolitan area are analyzed to use the results in the design procedure of VRP heuristic. Quality initial vehicle routing solutions can be obtained with adaption of the analysed results of the time periods with no vehicle speed changes. This strategy makes complicated time dependent vehicle speed simple to solve. Time dependent vehicle speeds are too important to ignore to obtain optimum vehicle routing search for real life logistics systems.

Determination of component mounting sequence on printed circuit board assembly process is a typical NP-hard problem. It is a kind of traveling salesman problems, but it has one more hard to meet constraint of matching component type per mounting position as well as searching the shortest path. An efficient method is developed by separation of crowed area and allowing up to two slots per component type. A simulation model is constructed using Visual C++ for evaluation of the suggested heuristic.

유전자 알고리즘(Genetic Algorithms)은 자연의 법칙에서 그 아이디어를 찾은 것으로 순회 방문자 문제(Traveling Salesman Problem : TSP) , 분배문제, 라우팅문제 등과 같은 전형적인 Combinatorial Optimization 문제에 적용되고 있다. 한편 이러한 유전자 알고리즘의 성능을 향상시키기 위해 알고리즘 실행과정에 적용할 수많은 이론과 경험적인 기법이 제시되고 있는데 이러한 기법들은 대부분 우수형질을 확보함으로써 최적의 값을 효과적으로 탐색하기 위한 것이다. 즉, 개체의 우수 형질 확보를 위한 부모 선택방법, 교차의 범위와 위치 및 방법, 그리고 돌연변이의 크기와 방법등이 포함된다. 본 연구에서는 자연의 법칙에서와 같이 자손 세대의 형질이 부모 세대보다 우수할 수 있음을 전제로 적응도 가중치에 의한 확률적인 방법에 의해서 선택하는 방법을 개선하여 부모세대가 같지 않게 하고, 우수형질이 유전되도록 하여 자손세대의 적응도가 부모세대보다 높도록 함으로써 최적의 값을 효과적으로 탐색할 수 있음을 실험하였다.

DNA 컴퓨팅에 대한 연구가 진행되어 강에 따라 기존의 튜링 머신과 동등한 계산 능력을 가진 다양한 계산 모델이 제안되고 있으며, 이와 함께 DNA의 병렬성을 이용하여 NP 문제들을 풀고자 하는 시도가 계속되고 있다. 그러나 전통적인 폰 노이만 기계에서의 알고리즘이 해집합에 대한 순차적 탐색을 하는 것과는 달리 가능한 모든 해를 미리 생성해 놓고 그 중에서 해를 찾아내는 기존의 DNA 컴퓨팅 알고리즘으로는 NP 문제의 크기가 증가함에 따라 초기 해의 생성조차도 불가능하게 된다. 이에 대한 해법의 하나로 진화적인 방법론을 생각할 수 있지만, 이 경우에는 진화 연산을 위한 추가적인 연산자의 고안과 이의 적용에 따른 어려움이 생긴다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 DNA 컴퓨팅에서 가능한 초기 해를 모두 생성할 수 있는지를 열역학적인 데이터에 근거한 시뮬레이션을 통하여 검증하였다. 이러한 과정을 통해서 값비싼 실제 실험의 성공 여부나 실험 디자인의 정당성 등을 미리 예측할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, DNA 컴퓨팅이 보다 큰 크기의 NP 문제를 해결할 수 있는 가능성을 제공할 수 있다.

최근 ITS(Intelligent Transportation Systems)의 개발과 함께 차량용 내비게이션의 사용이 급증하면서 경로탐색의 중요성이 더욱 가속화되고 있다. 현재 차량용 내비게이션은 멀티미디어 및 정보통신 기술의 결합과 함께 다양한 기능 및 정보를 사용자에게 제공하고 있으며 이러한 기능과 정보를 사용해서 목적지점까지의 최단경로를 탐색하는 것이 내비게이션 시스템의 핵심기능이다. 이러한 경로탐색 알고리즘은 교통시스템, 통신 네트워크, 운송 시스템은 물론 이동 로봇의 경로 설정 등 다양한 분야에 사용되고 있다. 개미 집단 최적화(Ant Colony Optimization, ACO) 알고리즘은 메타 휴리스틱 탐색 방법으로 그리디 탐색(Greedy Search)뿐만 아니라 긍정적 반응의 탐색을 사용한 모집단에 근거한 접근법으로 순환 판매원 문제(Traveling Salesman Problem, TSP)를 풀기 위해 처음으로 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 개미 집단 최적화(ACO) 알고리즘이 기존의 경로 탐색 알고리즘으로 알려진 Dijkstra 보다 최단경로 탐색에 있어서 더 적합한 알고리즘이라는 것을 설명하고자 한다.

Genetic algorithms (GAs) are very useful methods for global search and have been applied to various optimization problems. They have two kinds of important search mechanisms, crossover and mutation. Because the performance of GAs depends on these operators, a large number of operators have been developed for improving the performance of GAs. Especially, many researchers have been more interested in a crossover operator than a mutation operator. The reason is that a crossover operator is a main search operator in GAs and it has a more effect on the search performance. So, we also focus on a crossover operator. In this paper we first investigate the drawback of various crossovers, especially subtour-based crossovers and then introduce a new crossover operator to avoid such drawback and to increase efficiency. Also we compare it with several crossover operators for symmetric traveling salesman problem (STSP) for showing the performance of the proposed crossover. Finally, we introduce an efficient simple hybrid genetic algorithm using the proposed operator and then the quality and efficiency of the obtained results are discussed.

Message ferry is a controllable mobile node with large capacity and rechargeable energy to collect information from the sensors to the sink in wireless sensor networks. In the existing works, route of the message ferry is often designed from the solutions of the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) and its variants. In such solutions, the ferry route is often a simple cycle, which starts from the sink, access all the sensors exactly once and moves back to the sink. In this paper, we consider a different case, where the ferry route is a closed walk that contains more than one simple cycle. This problem is defined as the Closed Walk Ferry Route Design (CWFRD) problem in this paper, which is an optimization problem aiming to minimize the average weighted delay. The CWFRD problem is proved to be NP-hard, and the Integer Linear Programming (ILP) formulation is given. Furthermore, a heuristic scheme, namely the Initialization-Split-Optimization (ISO) scheme is proposed to construct closed walk routes for the ferry. The experimental results show that the ISO algorithm proposed in this paper can effectively reduce the average weighted delay compared to the existing simple cycle based scheme.

The automated assignment of multiple tasks to executing agents is a key problem in the area of multi-agent systems. In many domains, significant savings can be achieved by reallocating tasks among agents with different costs for handling tasks. The automation of task reallocation among self-interested agents requires that the individual agents use a common negotiation protocol that prescribes how they have to interact in order to come to an agreement on "who does what". In this paper, we introduce the multi-agent Traveling Salesman Problem(TSP) as an example of task reallocation problem, and suggest the Vickery auction as an interagent negotiation protocol for solving this problem. In general, auction-based protocols show several advantageous features: they are easily implementable, they enforce an efficient assignment process, and they guarantce an agreement even in scenarios in which the agents possess only very little domain-specific Knowledge. Furthermore Vickrey auctions have the additional advantage that each interested agent bids only once and that the dominant strategy is to bid one′s true valuation. In order to apply this market-based protocol into task reallocation among self-interested agents, we define the profit of each agent, the goal of negotiation, tasks to be traded out through auctions, the bidding strategy, and the sequence of auctions. Through several experiments with sample multi-agent TSPs, we show that the task allocation can improve monotonically at each step and then finally an optimal task allocation can be found with this protocol.

An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is a powered pilotless aircraft, which is controlled remotely or autonomously. UAVs are an attractive alternative for many scientific and military organizations. UAVs can perform operations that are considered to be risky or uninhabitable for human. UA V s are currently employed in many military missions such as reconnaissance, surveillance, enemy radar jamming, decoying, suppression of enemy air defense (SEAD), fixed and moving target attack, and air-to-air combat. UAVs also are employed in a number of civilian applications such as monitoring ozone depletion, inclement weather, traffic congestion, and taking images of dangerous territory. For accomplishing the UAV's missions, guarantee of survivability should be preceded. The main objective of this study is to suggest a mathematical programming model and a $A^*PS$-PGA (A-star with Post Smoothing-Parallel Genetic Algorithm) for an UAV's path planning to maximize survivability. A mathematical programming model is composed by using MRPP (Most Reliable Path Problem) and TSP (Traveling Salesman Problem). A path planning algorithm for UAV is applied by transforming MRPP into SPP (Shortest Path Problem).

This paper addresses a welding task sequencing for robot arc welding process planning. Although welding task sequencing is an essential step in the welding process planning, it has not been considered through a systematic approach, but it depends rather on empirical knowledge. Thus, an effective task sequencing for robot arc welding is required. Welding perations can be classified by the number of welding robots. Genetic algorithms are applied to tackle those welding task sequencing problems. A genetic algorithm for traveling salesman problem (TSP) is utilized to determine welding task sequencing for a MultiWeldline-SingleLayer problem. Further, welding task sequencing for multiWeldline-MultiLayer welding is investigated and appropriate genetic algorithms are introduced. A random key genetic algorithm is also proposed to solve multi-robot welding sequencing : MultiWeldline with multi robots. Finally, the genetic algorithm are implemented for the welding task sequencing of three dimensional weld plate assemblies. Robot welding operations conforming to the algorithms are simulated in graphic detail using a robot simulation software IGRIP.
