  • Nowadays, the distribution centres aim to reduce costs by reducing inventory and timely shipment. Cross docking is a logistics strategy in which products delivered to a distribution centre by inbound trucks are directly unloaded and transferred to outbound trucks with minimum warehouse storage. Moreover, on-time delivery in a distribution network becomes very crucial especially when several distribution centres and customers are involved. Therefore, an efficient truck scheduling is needed to synchronize the delivery throughout the network in order to satisfy all stake-holders. This paper presents a mathematical model of a mixed integer programming for door assignment and truck scheduling in a multiple inbound and outbound doors cross docking problem according to Just-In-Time concept. The objective is to find the schedule of transhipment operations to simultaneously minimize the total earliness and total tardiness of trucks. Then, a multi-objective differential evolution (MODE) is proposed with an encoding scheme and four decoding strategies, called ITSH, ITDD, OTSH and OTDD, to find a Pareto frontier for the multi-door cross docking problems. The performances of MODE are evaluated using 15 generated instances. The numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is capable of finding a set of diverse and high quality non-dominated solutions.

  • The purpose of this study was to evaluate current packaging modules and design the most acceptable packaging module for domestic and international distribution systems. An optimum packaging module can reduce package costs as well as total distribution costs such as transport, materials handling and warehouse costs. Three different sizes of packaging modules, namely U-type($600{\times}500\;mm$), K -ype($550{\times}366\;mm$) and I-type($600{\times}400\;mm$), were evaluated in terms of the area efficiency and MOEs(measures of effectiveness) for the T-11($1100{\times}1100mm$) and T-12($1,200{\times}1,000\;mm$) pallets. The results showed that the U-type module could fit very well for both pallets and the area efficiency of each module was more than 99 percents. Area efficiency of K-and I-type modules was greatly affected by the pallet footprint dimensions. U-type module also performed better result from MOEs evaluation. Twenty sub-multiple sizes derived from the U-type module were suggested for the future development of the Korean and ISO standards on dimension of transport packages.

  • There are active researches on automated guided vehicles(AGV) generally used in flexible manufacturing system(FMS) or automated warehouse systems(AWS). Because existing AGV uses magnetic tapes, electric wire, RF or laser as guidelines, its installation and modification require a lot of money and time. The present study implemented AGV that detects paths marked with 50mm Yellow tape using a mono-color CCD camera. Because it uses color tape, it is easy and inexpensive to install and change lines. This study presented the structure of the developed AGV, the image Processing technique for detecting guidelines by ing the characteristics of color, and the result of operating AGV.

  • When unit loads are stacked in multiple tiers, as the number of tiers increases, the space consumption per unit load decreases; at the same time, the number of relocations during retrieval operations increases. This study derives formulas fur estimating the expected number of relocations for retrieving a random unit load from various types of stacks with different combinations of the number of rows, the number of columns, and the number of tiers. Based on the derived formulas, the handling cost and the space cost of the different types of stacks are compared with each other.

  • 산업계 전반에 걸친 오랜 정보시스템 운용의 결과로 대용량의 데이터들이 축적되고 있다. 이러한 데이터로부터 유용한 지식을 추출하기 위해 여러 가지 데이터마이닝 기법들이 연구되어 왔다. 특히 데이터웨어하우스의 등장은 이러한 데이터마이닝에 있어 필요한 데이터 제공 환경을 주고 있다. 그러나 전문가의 적절한 판단과 해석을 거치지 않은 데이터마이닝의 결과는 당연한 사실이거나, 사실과 다른 가짜이거나 또한 관련성 없는(Trivial, Spurious and Irrelevant) 내용만 무수히 쏟아낼 수 있다. 그러므로 데이터마이닝의 결과가 비록 통계적 유의성을 가진다 하더라고 그 정당성과 유용성에 대한 검증과정과 방법론의 정립이 필요하다. 데이터마이닝의 가장 어려운 점은 귀납적 오류를 없애기 위해 사람이 직접 그 결과를 해석하고 판단하며 아울러 새로운 탐색 방향을 제시해야 한다는 것이다. 본 논문의 목적인 이러한 데이터마이닝에서 추출된 결과를 검증하고 아울러 새로운 지식 탐색 방향을 제시하는 방법론을 정립하는데 있다. 본 논문에서는 데이터마이닝 기법 중 연관규칙탐사(Associations)로 얻어진 결과를 설명가능성 여부의 판단을 통해 검증하는 기법을 제안하였고, 이를 위해 도메인 지식(Domain Knowledge)과 연관규칙탐사를 통해 얻어진 결과를 표현하기 위한 지식표현방법으로 관계형 술어논리(RPL : Relational Predicate Logic)를 개발하였다. 연관규칙탐사로 얻어진 결과를 설명하기 위한 방법으로는 연관규칙탐사로 얻어진 연관규칙에 대한 RPL로 표현된 도메인 지식으로서 설명됨을 보이게 한다. 또한 이러한 설명(Explanation)을 토대로 검증된 지식을 일반화하여 새로운 가설을 연역적으로 생성하고 이를 연관규칙탐사를 통해 검증한 후 새로운 지식을 얻는 설명기반 데이터마이닝 구조(Explanation-based Data Mining Architecture)를 제시하였다.

  • Many applications of DSMS(Data Stream Management System) require not only to process real-time stream data efficiently but also to provide high quality services such as data mining and data warehouse combining with DBMS(Database Management System) to users. In this paper we execute the performance benchmark of the combined system of DSMS and DBMS that is developed for high quality services. We use the stream data of network monitoring application system and combine the traditional representative DSMSs and DBMSs in a single system for the performance testing. We develop the total performance benchmark tool implementing JAVA language for the our testing. For our performance testing, we combine DSMS such as STREAM and Coral8 and DBMS such MySQL and Oracle10g respectively.

  • The advances in electronic medical records (EMRs) and bioinformatics (BI) represent two significant trends in healthcare. The widespread adoption of EMR systems and the completion of the Human Genome Project developed the technologies for data acquisition, analysis, and visualization in two different domains. The massive amount of data from both clinical and biology domains is expected to provide personalized, preventive, and predictive healthcare services in the near future. The integrated use of EMR and BI data needs to consider four key informatics areas: data modeling, analytics, standardization, and privacy. Bioclinical data warehouses integrating heterogeneous patient-related clinical or omics data should be considered. The representative standardization effort by the Clinical Bioinformatics Ontology (CBO) aims to provide uniquely identified concepts to include molecular pathology terminologies. Since individual genome data are easily used to predict current and future health status, different safeguards to ensure confidentiality should be considered. In this paper, we focused on the informatics aspects of integrating the EMR community and BI community by identifying opportunities, challenges, and approaches to provide the best possible care service for our patients and the population.

  • In a multi-cloud environment, it is necessary to minimize physical movement for efficient interoperability of distributed source data without building a data warehouse or data lake. And there is a need for a data platform that can easily access data anywhere in a multi-cloud environment. In this paper, we propose a new platform based on data fabric centered on a distributed platform suitable for cloud environments that overcomes the limitations of legacy systems. This platform applies the knowledge graph database technique to the physical linkage of source data for interoperability of distributed data. And by integrating all data into one scalable platform in a multi-cloud environment, it uses the holochain technique so that companies can easily access and move data with security and authority guaranteed regardless of where the data is stored. The knowledge graph database mitigates the problem of heterogeneous conflicts of data interoperability in a decentralized environment, and Holochain accelerates the memory and security processing process on traditional blockchains. In this way, data access and sharing of more distributed data interoperability becomes flexible, and metadata matching flexibility is effectively handled.
