  • 이 논문에서는 지진이나 해일과 같은 자연재해가 발생했을 때 생존자의 수를 최대화하기 위한 응급차량의 배차 문제에 대하여 살펴본다. 이 경우에는 도로 네트워크상에서 최단거리에 있으리라 예상되는 환자부터 실어 나르는 스케줄링 규칙을 많이 이용한다. 이 스케줄링 규칙을 SEPT(Shortest Expected Processing Time) 라고 한다. 이 논문에서는 SEPT보다 효율적이라 생각되는 새로운 스케줄링 규칙을 제안한다. 이 스케줄링 규칙은 처리시간과 납기일이 확정적인 경우에 생존자의 수를 최대화시켜주는 스케줄링을 제공하는 Moore의 알고리즘을 처리시간과 납기일이 확률적인 경우로 확장한 것이다. 다음으로 이 스케줄링 규칙을 지진이 많이 발생하는 미국 캘리포니아 주 로스앤젤레스의 한 지역을 대상으로 몇 가지 생존확률 하에서 생존자의 수를 기준으로 SEPT와 비교한다. 그 결과 모든 생존확률 하에서 제안된 스케줄링 규칙이 SEPT보다 평균적으로 생존자의 수를 더 늘려주는 스케줄링을 제공한다. 그리고 많은 경우 제안된 스케줄링 규칙은 최적 스케줄링을 제공한다.

  • This paper proposes a novel probabilistic load flow model for power systems integrated with large-scale wind power, which considers the multi-time scale dispatching features. The ramp limitations of the units and the steady-state security constraints of the network have been comprehensively considered for the entire duration of the study period; thus, the coupling of the system operation states at different time sections has been taken into account. For each time section, the automatic generation control (AGC) strategy is considered, and all variations associated with the wind power and loads are compensated by all AGC units. Cumulants and the Gram-Charlier expansion are used to solve the proposed model. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated using the modified IEEE RTS 24-bus system and the modified IEEE 118-bus system.

  • To improve the ship operation in automated container terminals, it is important to schedule different types of handling equipment to operate synchronously. For example, a vehicle with container receiving and lifting capabilities is used to transport containers from a storage yard to a vessel and vice versa, while a triple quay crane (QC) can handle up to three 40-ft containers simultaneously. This paper discusses the manner in which vehicles should be assigned to containers to support such multi-lifts of QCs by using information about the locations and times of deliveries. A mixed-integer programming model is introduced to optimally assign delivery tasks to vehicles. This model considers the constraint imposed by the limited buffer space under each QC. A procedure for converting buffer-space constraints into time window constraints and a heuristic algorithmfor overcoming the excessive computational time required for solving the mathematical model are suggested. A numerical experiment is conducted to compare the objective values and computational times of the heuristic algorithm with those of the optimizing method to evaluate the performance of the heuristic algorithm.

  • With HTTP/1.0, a single request means a single HTTP connection so that the granular unit of dispatching is the same as real load. But with persistent HTTP connection, multiple requests may arrive on a single TCP connection. Therefore, a scheme that dispatches load at the granularity of individual requests constrains the feasible dispatching policies In this paper we propose a new connection dispatching polity for supporting HTTP/1.1 persistent connections in cluster-based Web servers. When the request of a base html file arrives, the dispatcher gets the subsequent load arriving on that connection using the embedded objects information. After the dispatcher stores the load information in Load Table, the dispatcher employs the connection aging strategy on live persistent connections on the passage of time. The results of simulation show about $1.7\%\~16.8\%$ improved average response time compared to existing WLC algorithm.

  • In emergency dispatching at 119 Command & Dispatch Center, some inconsistencies between the 'standard emergency aid system' and 'dispatch protocol,' which are both mandatory to follow, cause inefficiency in the dispatcher's performance. If an emergency dispatch system uses automatic speech recognition (ASR) to process the dispatcher's protocol speech during the case registration, it instantly extracts and provides the required information specified in the 'standard emergency aid system,' making the rescue command more efficient. For this purpose, we have developed a Korean large vocabulary continuous speech recognition system for 400,000 words to be used for the emergency dispatch system. The 400,000 words include vocabulary from news, SNS, blogs and emergency rescue domains. Acoustic model is constructed by using 1,300 hours of telephone call (8 kHz) speech, whereas language model is constructed by using 13 GB text corpus. From the transcribed corpus of 6,600 real telephone calls, call logs with emergency rescue command class and identified major symptom are extracted in connection with the rescue activity log and National Emergency Department Information System (NEDIS). ASR is applied to emergency dispatcher's repetition utterances about the patient information. Based on the Levenshtein distance between the ASR result and the template information, the emergency patient information is extracted. Experimental results show that 9.15% Word Error Rate of the speech recognition performance and 95.8% of emergency response detection performance are obtained for the emergency dispatch system.

  • This study focuses on a job-shop scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing total tardiness for the job orders that have different due dates and different process flows. We suggest the dispatching rule based scheduling algorithm to generate fast and efficient schedule. First, we show the delay schedule can be optimal for total tardiness measure in some cases. Based on this observation, we expand search space for selecting the job operation to explore the delay schedules. That means, not only all job operations waiting for process but also job operations not arrived at the machine yet are considered to be scheduled when a machine is available and it is need decision for the next operation to be processed. Assuming each job operation is assigned to the available machine, the expected total tardiness is estimated, and the job operation with the minimum expected total tardiness is selected to be processed in the machine. If this job is being processed in the other machine, then machine should wait until the job arrives at the machine. Simulation experiments are carried out to test the suggested algorithm and compare with the results of other well-known dispatching rules such as EDD, ATC and COVERT, etc. Results show that the proposed algorithm, MET, works better in terms of total tardiness of orders than existing rules without increasing the number of tardy jobs.

  • This paper suggested the method to design and analyze FMC robot's dispatching rule using the Simulation and Sequential Patterns. To do this, first of all, we built FMC using simulation and then, extracted signals that facilities call a robot, saved it as the log type. Secondly, we built robot's optimal path using the Sequential Pattern Mining with the results of analyzing the log and relationship between machine and robot actions. Lastly, we adapted it to the A corp.'s manufacturing line for verifying its performance. As a result of applying the new dispatching rule in FMC, total throughput and total flow time decrease because of decreasing material loss time and increasing robot utility. Furthermore, because this method can be applied for every manufacturing plant using simulation, it can contribute to advance total FMC efficiency as well.
