In this paper, we address a layout design problem, PTN[2], for determining an appropriate 2-class-based dedicated storage layout in a class of unit load storage systems. Our strong conjecture is that PTNI2] is NP-hard. Restricting PTN[2], we provide three solvable cases of PTN[2] in which an optimal solution to the solvable cases is one of the partitions based on the PAI(product activity index)-nonincreasing ordering. However, we show with a counterexample that a solution based on the PAI-non increasing ordering does not always give an optimal solution to PTN[2]. Utilizing the derived properties, we construct an effective heuristic algorithm for solving PTN[2] based on a PAI-non increasing ordering with performance ratio bound. Our algorithm with O($n^2$) is effective in the sense that it guarantees a better class-based storage layout than a randomized storage layout in terms of the expected single command travel time.

To achieve the optimal sewer layout design, most developed models are designed to determine pipe diameter, slope and overall layout in order to minimize the least cost for the design rainfall. However, these models are not capable of considering the superposition effect of runoff hydrographs entering each junction. The suggested Optimal Sewer Layout Model (OSLM) is designed to control flows and distribute the node inflows while taking into consideration the superposition effect for reducing the inundation risk from the sewer pipes. The suggested model used the genetic algorithm to determine the optimal layout, which was connected to the SWMM (Storm Water Management Model) for the calculation of the hydraulic analysis. The suggested model was applied to an urban watershed of 35 ha, which is located in Seoul, Korea. By using the suggested model, several rainfall events, including the design rainfall and excessive rainfalls, were used to generate runoff hydrographs from a modified sewer layout. By the results, the peak outflows at the outlet were decreased and the overflows were also reduced.

The marine leisure industry in Korea has been the focus of the power of economic growth and the creation of jobs in recent years. In this regard, many studies concerning marine leisure are on-going in various fields. In this paper, developed a layout system and algorithm can resolve the factory and facility layout problem. For a layout design of leisure-boat factories, the leisure-boat production process is analyzed in order to derive standard production space elements for the layout of the factory. Based on the results, a draft design of the factory layout is carried out based on the manpower planning data, as well as the characteristics and relationships of each process data. A layout design of this paper can be verified through a factory simulation solution and we suggest the verification method using a SBD(simulation based design) methodology. The layout system takes into account the user's accessibility and extendibility, so it is web-oriented and uses RIA (rich Internet Application) technology. Furthermore, the system and layout algorithm of this paper are verified with samples data that show the efficient factory arrangement and practical application method.

This paper presents the use of a Genetic Algorithm to find the optimal layout for the placement of garment patterns on a fabric of fixed width to minimize fabric waste. We developed a program to simulate garment pieces and their layout on a fixed-width fabric. Each piece in the order book is placed with 2 possible orientations: 0 degrees and 180 degrees. The efficiency is measured by the length of fabric used after all the patterns in the order book have been laid out. A comparison is made between the placement using our proposed genetic algorithm to that made by an expert human using our simulation program. The results from our experiments on various pattern designs indicate that our genetic algorithm can effectively be used to obtain highly efficient solutions, comparable to that done by an expert while using a reasonable amount of time. The algorithm can also be adapted for use in other areas related to optimal consumption of sheet material such as metal, paper, and leather.

Facility Layout Planning is concerned with how to arrange facilities necessary for production in a given space. Its objective is often to minimize the total sum of all material flows multiplied by the distance among facilities. FLP belongs to NP complete problem; i.e., the number of possible layout solutions increases with the increase of the number of facilities. Thus, meta heuristics such as Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Simulated Annealing have been investigated to solve the FLP problems. However, one of the biggest problems which lie in the existing meta heuristics including GA is hard to find an appropriate combinations of parameters which result in optimal solutions for the specific problem. The Ant System algorithm with elitist and ranking strategies is used to solve the FLP problem as an another good alternative. Experimental results show that the AS algorithm is able to produce the same level of solution quality with less sensitive parameters selection comparing to the ones obtained by applying other existing meta heuristic algorithms.

In case of VLSI design, the shuffle-exchange graph is useful for optimal layout. HOEY and LEISERSON proposed the method of drawing a N-nodes shuffle-exchange graph on O(N2/log N) layout area by using the complex plane digram. [2] In this paper, a new algorithm for drawing the shuffle-exchange graph is proposed. This algorithm is not by using the complex plane diabram, but the table of e decimal represented nodes of shuffle-edge relations. And the structural properties for optimal layout of the graph are summarized and verified. By using this more simplified algorithm, a FORTRAN program which can be treated faster is written. Aimed near optimal shuffle-exchange graphs are printed out by giving inputs` the number of nodes.

The semiconductor industry has continuously been looking for the ways to improve yield and to reduce manufacturing cost. The layout modification approach, one of yield enhancement techniques, is applicable to all design styles, but it does not require any additional resources in terms of silicon area. The layout modification method for yield enhancement consists of making local variations in the layout of some layers in such a way that the critical area, and consequently the sensitivity of the layer to point defects, is reduced. Chen and Koren (1995) proposed a greedy algorithm that removes defect sensitive area using via moving, but it is easy to fall into a local minimum. In this paper, we present a via moving algorithm using simulated annealing and enhance yield by diminishing defect sensitive area. As a result, we could decrease the defect sensitive area effectively compared to the greedy algorithm presented by Chen and Koren. We expect that the proposed algorithm can make significant contributions on company profit through yield enhancement.

도표로 작성된 양식 문서에서 도표의 레이아웃 해석에 필요한 그리드 라인을 추출하기 위해 다양한 필터링 또는 모폴로지 등의 방법을 사용하여 직선 성분을 선명하게 개선시키기 위한 연구들이 많이 진행되고 있다. 도표의 직선 성분을 선명화하더라도 직선 내부에 절단 점들이 존재하거나 기울어진 경우에는 직선 추출이 어렵고 도표 셀들의 레이아웃을 논리적으로 표현하는데 여전히 어려움을 겪을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 직선에 절단점들이 존재하거나 기울어져도 직선을 검출할 수 있는 라인 추적 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 이를 이용하여 그리드 라인을 추출하고 라인들의 교차점 및 셀 정보들을 찾아 도표의 구조를 분석할 수 있는 알고리즘을 마련하였다. 제안한 알고리즘을 실제 양식 문서 영상을 대상으로 실험한 결과 평균 0.41초 처리시간에 96.4%의 도표 구조를 분석할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

VLSI 설계에서의 분할(partitioning)은 기능의 최적화를 위하여 설계하고자 하는 회로의 그룹화(grouping)하는 단계로서 레이아웃(layout)에서 면적과 전파지연의 최소화를 위해 함께 배치할 소자를 결정하는 문제이다. 이러한 분할 문제에서 해를 얻기 위해 사용되는 알고리즘은 Kernighan-Lin 알고리즘, Fiduccia Mattheyses heuristic, 시뮬레이티드 어닐링, 유전자 알고리즘 등의 방식이 이용된다. 본 논문에서는 회로 분할 문제에 대하여 유전자 알고리즘과 확률 진화 알고리즘을 결합한 어댑티드 유전자 알고리즘을 이용한 해 공간 탐색(solution space search) 방식을 제안하였으며, 제안한 방식을 유전자 알고리즘 및 시뮬레이티드 어닐링 방식과 비교, 분석하였고, 어댑티드 유전자 알고리즘이 시뮬레이티드 어닐링 및 유전자 알고리즘보다 더 효과적으로 최적해에 근접하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

최근 VLSI 회로 설계는 자동 레이아웃(automatic layout) 들을 사용하여 효과적으로 이루어지고 있다. 자동 레이아웃은 VLSI 칩 상에 모듈들의 위치를 결정하는 배치와 각 모듈간을 상호 연결하는 배선 두 가지의 중요한 기능으로 구성되어 있다. VLSI 칩의 성능과 면적은 이 두 가지의 기능을 수행하는 알고리즘의 성능에 따라 크게 좌우된다. 채널 배선은 VLSI 설계 과정중의 하나로, 글로벌 배선을 수행한 후 각 배선 영역에 할당된 네트들을 트랙에 할당하여 구체적인 네트들의 위치를 결정하는 문제이며, 네트들이 할당된 트랙의 수를 최소화하는 문제이다. 본 논문에서는 4-레이어 채널 배선 문제를 해결하기 위한 네트리스트 분할 문제에 대하여 유전자 알고리즘(genetic algorithm; GA)을 이용한 해 공간 탐색(solution space search) 방식을 제안하였으며, 제안한 방식을 여러 문제들에 대해 시뮬레이티드 어닐링 알고리즘과 비교, 분석한 결과 최적, 최악 및 평균비용 측면에서 더 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.
