This paper proposes a method of solving a unit commitment problem using tabu search (TS) which is heuristic algorithm. Ts is a local search method that starts from any initial solution and attempts to determine a better solution using memory structures. In this paper, to reduce the computation time for finding the optimal solution, changing tabu list size as intensification strategy and path relinking method as diversification strategy are proposed. To show the usefulness of the proposed method, we simulated for 10 units system and 110 units system. Numerical results show improvements in the generation costs and the computation time compared with priority list, genetic algorithm(GA), and hybrid GA.

A heterogeneous VRP which considers various capacities, fixed and variable costs was suggested in this study. The transportation cost for vehicle is composed of its fixed and variable costs incurred proportionately to the travel distance. The main objective is to minimize the total sum of transportation costs. A mathematical programming model was suggested for this purpose and it gives an optimal solution by using OPL-STUDIO (ILOG CPLEX). A genetic algorithm which considers improvement of an initial solution, new fitness function with weighted cost and distance rates, and flexible mutation rate for escaping local solution was also suggested. The suggested algorithm was compared with the results of a tabu search and sweeping method by Taillard and Lee, respectively. The suggested algorithm gives better solutions rather than existing algorithms.

최근의 메모리 반도체에 있어서, 수율과 품질을 유지하기 위하여 불량셀은 반드시 수리가 필요하다. 대부분의 워드단위 입출력을 갖는 system-on-chip (SoC)를 포함한 많은 메모리가 다중 블록으로 구성되어 있음에도 불구하고, 기존의 대부분의 자체내장수리연산회로의 연구들은 단일블록을 대상으로 하였다. 워드 단위 입출력 메모리의 특성상 다중메모리 광역대체수리구조를 갖는 경우가 많다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 메모리를 대상으로 기존에 최적 수리효율을 갖는 대표적인 자체내장 수리연산 회로인 CRESTA를 기본으로 하여, 보다 적은 면적으로 최적 수리효율을 낼 수 있는 알고리즘과 연산회로을 제안한다. 제안하는 자체내장수리 회로는 단위블록의 연산결과를 순차적으로 비교하여 워드단위 메모리의 제약조건을 만족시키는 최종 수리해를 구해내며, 기존의 회로보다 훨씬 빠른 시간 내에 최적의 수리 해를 구해 낼 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 다층 연결 구조(Multistage Interconnection Network, MIN)를 기반으로 하는 병렬 컴퓨터 환경에서 효과적으로 운용할 수 있는 병렬 Optimal Best-First search Branch-and-Bound 알고리즘(pobs)을 제안하고, 성능을 분석하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 먼저 해를 얻고자 하는 문제를 임의의 G개 부 문제로 분할하고 소수 프로세서로 구성된 프로세서 그룹들에 할당하여 각각의 지역 해를 산출하도록 하였다. 따라서 N개의 프로세서를 갖는 시스템은 G개 프로세서 그룹으로 구분되고 각 프로세서 그룹은 P(=N/G)개 프로세서를 보유하게 된다. 각 프로세서 그룹은 할당된 부 문제의 지역 해를 얻는 과정에 병렬 sub-Global Best-First B&B 알고리즘을 수행한다. 프로세서 그룹들이 산출한 지역 해들 가운데 최선의 값을 갖는 지역 해가 문제의 전역 해로 결정되는데, 이를 위하여 각 프로세서 그룹의 대표 프로세서는 할당된 부 문제의 지역 해를 다른 그룹들에게 전파하도록 하였다. 지역 해 전파는 프로세서 그룹들의 지역 해 비교를 통한 전역해 선정 기능과 함께 프로세서 그룹간 작업 불균형 문제를 상당 부분 해소하는 효과를 제공한다. 알고리즘 설계에 이어 성능 평가를 위한 분석 모형을 제시하였다. 제안한 모형은 B&B 알고리즘 수행에 따른 연산 소요시간과 통신 소요시간을 분리하여 처리함으로 병렬 처리 환경에서 보다 실질적인 알고리즘 성능 평가가 가능하게 함과 동시에, 다양한 컴퓨터 연결 구조에서의 알고리즘 성능 예측을 용이하게 하였다. B&B 알고리즘의 확률 특성을 토대로 작성된 성능 분석 연구의 실효성 검토를 위하여 MIN 기반 시스템을 대상으로 병행된 시뮬레이션 결과는 상호 미세한 오차 범위 내에서 일치하는 결과를 보여 제시한 성능 분석 기법의 타당성을 입증하였다. 또한, 본 논문에서 제안한 병렬 알고리즘을 MIN 기반 시스템에 적용하여 기존 알고리즘의 성능과 비교 평가 결과 제안한 pobs가 문제 해결 과정에서 전개되는 부 문제 수를 줄이고 프로세서간의 효율적인 작업 분배 효과를 제공하는 한편 프로세서간의 주된 통신 활동 범위를 국부적으로 제한하여 성능면에서 우수함을 입증하였다.

The Error Back-Propagation(EBP) algorithm is widely applied to train a multi-layer perceptron, which is a neural network model frequently used to solve complex problems such as pattern recognition, adaptive control, and global optimization. However, the EBP is basically a gradient descent method, which may get stuck in a local minimum, leading to failure in finding the globally optimal solution. Moreover, a multi-layer perceptron suffers from locking a systematic determination of the network structure appropriate for a given problem. It is usually the case to determine the number of hidden nodes by trial and error. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm to efficiently train a multi-layer perceptron. OUr algorithm uses stochastic perturbation in the weight space to effectively escape from local minima in multi-layer perceptron learning. Stochastic perturbation probabilistically re-initializes weights associated with hidden nodes to escape a local minimum if the probabilistically re-initializes weights associated with hidden nodes to escape a local minimum if the EGP learning gets stuck to it. Addition of new hidden nodes also can be viewed asa special case of stochastic perturbation. Using stochastic perturbation we can solve the local minima problem and the network structure design in a unified way. The results of our experiments with several benchmark test problems including theparity problem, the two-spirals problem, andthe credit-screening data show that our algorithm is very efficient.

This paper presents a method for the automatic generation of assembly sequences based on the recursive extraction of a preferred part along with the verification of its disassemblability. To verify the disassemblability of the part we inference the geometric precedence constraints using a method of extracting separable directions for the part and determine the disassemblability cost by the separability and stability cost. The proosed method provides a local optimal solution of finding a cost effective assembly plan, and the feasibility of calculating robot motion programs by evaluating separable directions in flexible manufacturing application. A case study is given to illustrate the concepts and procedure of the proposed scheme.

In the construction of successful fuzzy models for nonlinear systems, the identification of an optimal fuzzy model system is an important and difficult problem. Traditionally, sGA(simple genetic algorithm) has been used to identify structures and parameters of fuzzy model because it has the ability to search the optimal solution somewhat globally. But SGA optimization process may be the reason of the premature local convergence when the appearance of the superior individual at the population evolution. Therefore, in this paper we propose a new method that can yield a successful fuzzy model using VmGA(virus messy genetic algorithms). The proposed method not only can be the countermeasure of premature convergence through the local information changed in population, but also has more effective and adaptive structure with respect to using changeable length string. In order to demonstrate the superiority and generality of the fuzzy modeling using VmGA, we finally applied the proposed fuzzy modeling methodof a complex nonlinear system.

The wireless carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (WCSMA/CD) and carrier sense multiple access with collision resolution (CSMA/CR) protocols are considered representative distributed collision detection protocols for fully connected dense wireless local area networks. These protocols identify collisions through additional short-sensing within a collision detection (CD) period after the start of data transmission. In this study, we analyze their throughput numerically and show that the throughput has a trade-off that accords with the length of the CD period. Consequently, we obtain the optimal length of the CD period that maximizes the throughput as a closed-form solution. Analysis and simulation results show that the throughput of distributed collision detection protocols is considerably improved when the optimal CD period is allocated according to the number of stations and the length of the transmitted packet.

In this study, an iterative maximum a posteriori (MAP) approach using a Bayesian model of Markovrandom field (MRF) was proposed for despeckling images that contains speckle. Image process is assumed to combine the random fields associated with the observed intensity process and the image texture process respectively. The objective measure for determining the optimal restoration of this "double compound stochastic" image process is based on Bayes' theorem, and the MAP estimation employs the Point-Jacobian iteration to obtain the optimal solution. In the proposed algorithm, MRF is used to quantify the spatial interaction probabilistically, that is, to provide a type of prior information on the image texture and the neighbor window of any size is defined for contextual information on a local region. However, the window of a certain size would result in using wrong information for the estimation from adjacent regions with different characteristics at the pixels close to or on boundary. To overcome this problem, the new method is designed to use less information from more distant neighbors as the pixel is closer to boundary. It can reduce the possibility to involve the pixel values of adjacent region with different characteristics. The proximity to boundary is estimated using a non-uniformity measurement based on standard deviation of local region. The new scheme has been extensively evaluated using simulation data, and the experimental results show a considerable improvement in despeckling the images that contain speckle.
