In practical designs, most of the multidisciplinary problems have a large-size and complicate design system. Since multidisciplinary problems have hundreds of analyses and thousands of variables, the grouping of analyses and the order of the analyses in the group affect the speed of the total design cycle. Therefore, it is very important to reorder and regroup the original design processes in order to minimize the total computational cost by decomposing large multidisciplinary problems into several multidisciplinary analysis subsystems (MDASS) and by processing them in parallel. In this study, a new decomposition method is proposed for parallel processing of multidisciplinary design optimization, such as collaborative optimization (CO) and individual discipline feasible (IDF) method. Numerical results for two example problems are presented to show the feasibility of the proposed method.

Recently engineering systems problems become quite large and complicated. For those problems, design requirements are fairly complex. It is not easy to design such systems by considering only one discipline. Therefore, we need a design methodology that can consider various disciplines. Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) is an emerging optimization method to include multiple disciplines. So far, about seven MDO methodologies have been proposed for MDO. They are Multidisciplinary Feasible (MDF), Individual Feasible (IDF), All-at-Once (AAO), Concurrent Subspace Optimization (CSSO), Collaborative Optimization (CO), Bi-Level Integrated System Synthesis (BLISS) and Multidisciplinary Optimization Based on Independent Subspaces (MDOIS). In this research, the performances of the methods are evaluated and compared. Practical engineering problems may not be appropriate for fairness. Therefore, mathematical problems are developed for the comparison. Conditions for fair comparison are defined and the mathematical problems are defined based on the conditions. All the methods are coded and the performances of the methods are compared qualitatively as well as quantitatively.

Hierarchical constraints and constraint satisfaction were analyzed in order to solve the problem of conflict detection in collaborative design. The constraints were divided into two sets: one set consisted of known constraints and the other of unknown constraints. The constraints of the two sets were detected with corresponding methods. The set of the known constraints was detected using an interval propagation algorithm, a back propagation (BP) neural network was proposed to detect the set with the unknown constraints. An immune algorithm (IA) was utilized to optimize the weights and the thresholds of the BP neural network, and the steps were designed for the optimization process. The results of the simulation indicated that the BP neural network that was optimized by IA has a better performance in terms of convergent speed and global searching ability than a genetic algorithm. The constraints were described using the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) for computers to be able to automatically recognize and establish the constraint network. The implementation of the conflict detection system was designed based on constraint satisfaction. A wind planetary gear train is taken as an example of collaborative design with a conflict detection system.

협력 필터링 기반의 추천시스템에서 유사도 측정은 시스템의 성능에 큰 영향을 미치는데, 이는 유사한 다른 사용자들로부터 항목을 추천받기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 전통적인 유사도 측정 방법의 가장 큰 문제인 데이터 희소성을 극복하기 위해, 기존의 유사도 측정값과 공통평가항목수의 반영값을 최적으로 결합하는 새로운 유사도 측정방식을 제안한다. 제안 방식의 성능 평가를 위해 다양한 조건으로 실험한 결과 기존 방식들보다 우수한 예측 정확도를 나타냈으며, 구체적으로 전통적인 피어슨 상관보다 최대 약 7%, 코사인 유사도보다는 최대 약 4% 향상된 결과를 보였다.

Aircraft manufacturing companies have to consider multiple derivatives to satisfy various market requirements. They modify or extend an existing aircraft to meet new market demands while keeping the development time and cost to a minimum. Many researchers have studied the derivative design process, but these research efforts consider baseline and derivative designs together, while using the whole set of design variables. Therefore, an efficient process that can reduce cost and time for aircraft derivative design is needed. In this research, a more efficient design process is proposed which obtains global changes from local changes in aircraft design in order to develop aircraft derivatives efficiently. Sensitivity analysis was introduced to remove unnecessary design variables that have a low impact on the objective function. This prevented wasting computational effort and time on low priority variables for design requirements and objectives. Additionally, uncertainty from the fidelity of analysis tools was considered in design optimization to increase the probability of optimization results. The Reliability Based Design Optimization (RBDO) and Possibility Based Design Optimization (PBDO) methods were proposed to handle the uncertainty in aircraft conceptual design optimization. In this paper, Collaborative Optimization (CO) based framework with RBDO and PBDO was implemented to consider uncertainty. The proposed method was applied for civil jet aircraft derivative design that increases cruise range and the number of passengers. The proposed process provided deterministic design optimization, RBDO, and PBDO results for given requirements.

협력적 여과 시스템은 희박성과 단지 두 고객만의 선호도에 따른 상관 관계로 추천을 제공한다는 문제점과 군집내의 가장 유사한 두 사용자만의 상관 관계에 의하여 추천을 한다는 단점이 있다. 또한, 상품의 내용을 기반으로 하지 않고 선호도만을 기반으로 하므로 추천의 정확도가 사용자에 의해 평가한 자료에만 의존한다는 문제점도 있다. 이와 같이 평가된 자료를 추천에 이용할 경우, 모든 사용자가 모든 상품에 대해 성의 있게 평가할 수는 없으므로 추천의 정확도가 낮아지는 결과를 가져온다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 엔트로피을 사용하여 사용자가 상품에 대하여 평가한 자료를 기반으로 검증되지 않은 사용자를 제외시키고, 다음으로 사용자 프로파일을 생성한 후 사용자를 군집시키며, 마지막으로 그룹의 대표 선호도를 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 사용자 군집을 이용한 방법은 군집내의 사용자만을 대상으로 유사한 사용자를 찾으므로 희박성은 해결할 수 있으나 그 외의 단점을 해결하지 못하였다. 제안한 방법에서는 상품에 대해 평가한 선호도 뿐만 아니라 상품에 대한 정보를 반영하기 위하여 연관 단어 마이닝의 방법에 의해 협력적 사용자의 프로파일을 생성하고, 이를 기반으로 벡터 공간 모델과 K-means 알고리즘에 의해 사용자를 군집시킨다. 군집된 사용자를 대상으로 상품의 선호도와 사용자의 엔트로피를 병합함으로써 최종적으로 그룹의 대표 선호도를 추출한다. 대표 선호도를 이용한 추천 시스템은 한 사용자의 부정확한 선호도를 기반으로 추천을 하는 경우에 나타나는 추천의 부정확도 문제를 해결하며, 군집내의 가장 유사한 두 사용자만의 상관 관계에 의하여 추천을 하는 단점을 보완하고, 또한 그룹 내에 가장 유사한 사용자를 찾는 데 소요되는 시간을 절약할 수 있다는 장점을 갖는다.

Plutonium-238 has always been considered as the one of the promising radioisotopes for space nuclear power supply, which has long half-life, low radiation protection level, high power density, and stable fuel form at high temperatures. The industrial-scale production of ²³⁸Pu mainly depends on irradiating solid ²³⁷NpO₂ target in high flux reactors, however the production process faces problems such as large fission loss and high requirements for product quality control. In this paper, a conceptual design study of producing ²³⁸Pu in a multi-purpose high flux reactor was evaluated and analyzed, which includes a sensitivity analysis on ²³⁸Pu production and a further study on the irradiation scheme. It demonstrated that the target structure and its location in the reactor, as well as the operation scheme has an impact on ²³⁸Pu amount and product quality. Furthermore, the production efficiency could be improved by optimizing target material concentration, target locations in the core and reflector. This work provides technical support for irradiation production of ²³⁸Pu in high flux reactors.

Recent advances in deep neural networks (DNNs) have greatly improved the accuracy and universality of various intelligent applications, at the expense of increasing model size and computational demand. Since the resources of end devices are often too limited to deploy a complete DNN model, offloading DNN inference tasks to cloud servers is a common approach to meet this gap. However, due to the limited bandwidth of WAN and the long distance between end devices and cloud servers, this approach may lead to significant data transmission latency. Therefore, device-edge collaborative inference has emerged as a promising paradigm to accelerate the execution of DNN inference tasks where DNN models are partitioned to be sequentially executed in both end devices and edge servers. Nevertheless, collaborative inference in heterogeneous edge environments with multiple edge servers, end devices and DNN tasks has been overlooked in previous research. To fill this gap, we investigate the optimization problem of collaborative inference in a heterogeneous system and propose a scheme CIS, i.e., collaborative inference scheme, which jointly combines DNN partition, task offloading and scheduling to reduce the average weighted inference latency. CIS decomposes the problem into three parts to achieve the optimal average weighted inference latency. In addition, we build a prototype that implements CIS and conducts extensive experiments to demonstrate the scheme's effectiveness and efficiency. Experiments show that CIS reduces 29% to 71% on the average weighted inference latency compared to the other four existing schemes.

A pump design system was constructed by several integrating in-house programs and commercial softwares to design and evaluate centrifugal pumps. An agent-based prototype framework has been developed for collaborative design and optimization of a centrifugal pump. This paper introduces the feasible technology needed to construct a pump design system based on software agents. The integrated design system, developed in the present study, was used in designing a centrifugal pump and modifying its impeller shape by using optimization processes to increase the pump performance.
