최근 들어 로봇 작업 계획기에 요구되는 중요한 기능 중의 하나가 이미 존재하는 컴포넌트 서비스들을 결합하여 새로운 서비스로 조합해낼 수 있는 계획 기능이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 컴포넌트 서비스 조합을 위한 커널모듈로 개발된 휴리스틱 탐색 계획기인 JPLAN의 설계와 구현에 대해 설명한다. JPLAN은 효율적인 상태 공간 탐색을 위해 지역 탐색 알고리즘과 계획 그래프 휴리스틱을 이용한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 지역 탐색 알고리즘인 EHC+는 FF 등의 상태 공간 계획기에 적용되어 높은 효율성을 보인 Enforced Hill-Climbing (EHC)을 확장한 것이다. EHC+는 EHC에 비해 소량의 추가적인 지역 탐색을 필요로 하지만 목표 상태까지 전체 탐색 양을 줄일 수 있고 더 짧은 계획을 얻을 수있다. 또한 본 본문에서는 대규모 상태 공간 탐색에 필수적인 효과적인 휴리스틱 추출 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 휴리스틱 추출방법은 Graphplan에서 계획 생성을 위해 처음 제안된 계획 그래프를 이용한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 계획 그래프 기반의 다양한 휴리스틱들을 소개하고, 이들이 계획 생성에 미치는 효과를 실험을 통해 분석해본다.

In this study, a hybrid method is used to search the pseudo-optimal solution for the I-dimentional nesting problem. This method is composed of the genetic algorithm for the global search and a simple heuristic one for the local search near the pseudo optimal solution. Several simulation results show that the hybrid method gives very satisfactory results.

The metallic energy dissipation device (EDD) has been widely accepted as a useful tool for passive control of buildings against earthquakes. The distribution of metallic EDDs in a multi-story building may have significant influence on its seismic performance, which can be greatly enhanced if the distribution scheme is properly designed. This paper addresses the optimal distribution problem in the aim of achieving a desired level of performance using the minimum number of metallic EDDs. Five local search heuristic algorithms are proposed to solve the problem. Four base structures are presented as numerical examples to verify the proposed algorithms. It is indicated that the performance of different algorithms may vary when applied in different situations. Based on the results of the numerical verification, the recommended guidelines are finally proposed for choosing the appropriate algorithm in different occasions.

기존의 많은 논문에서는 병렬휴리스틱법(Parallel Heuristics) 또는 몇 개의 휴리스틱법을 결합하는 하이브리드 시스템(Hybrid system)이 보다 양질의 탐색 결과를 얻을 수 있음을 보고하고 있다. 그러나 단일 프로세스를 가진 범용 컴퓨터상에서의 병렬화와 하이브리드화는 지나치게 많은 탐색시간을 요구한다. 이러한 경우 탐색의 고속화를 위해서는 탐색법간의 보다 적절한 결합법이 요구된다. 이를 위한 방법론으로서 병렬프리스틱법의 고속화모델(Fast Model of Parallel Heuristics : FMPH)을 제안하고 있다. 유전적 알고리즘(Genetic algorithms)의 섬모델(Island Model)에 의거, 다양한 탐색 공간에서 선택된 우수한 엘리트해에 대해서만 선택적으로 국소탐색(local search)의 능력이 뛰어난 타부 탐색법을 도입한다. 본 논문에서는 NP-hard문제 중에서도 가장 어려운 문제로 평가되는 잡숍 스케쥴링 문제(Job-Shop scheduling Problem)에 대해 적용한 병렬프리스틱법의 고속화 모델을 소개하며 모델의 범용성을 입증하기 위해 유명한 벤치마크 문제에 적용하여 얻은 뛰어난 결과를 보고한다.

Tabu search (TS) is a useful strategy that has been successfully applied to a number of complex combinatorial optimization problems. By guiding the search using flexible memory processes and accepting disimproved solutions at some iterations, TS helps alleviate the risk of being trapped at a local optimum. In this article, we propose TS-based heuristics for solving a class of clustering problems, and compare the relative performances of the TS-based heuristic and the simulated annealing (SA) algorithm. Computational experiments show that the TS-based heuristic with a long-term memory offers a higher possibility of finding a better solution, while the TS-based heuristic without a long-term memory performs better than the others in terms of the combined measure of solution quality and computing effort required.

The vehicle routing problem determines each vehicle routes to find the transportation costs, subject to meeting the customer demands of all delivery points in geography. Vehicle routing problem is known to be NP-hard, and it needs a lot of computing time to get the optimal solution, so that heuristics are more frequently developed than optimal algorithms. This study aims to develop a heuristic method which combines guided local search with a tabu search in order to minimize the transportation costs for the vehicle routing assignment and uses ILOG programming library to solve. The computational tests were performed using the benchmark problems. And computational experiments on these instances show that the proposed heuristic yields better results than the simple tabu search does.

Vehicle routing problem with time windows is determined each vehicle route in order to minimize the transportation costs. All delivery points in geography have various time restriction in camparision with the basic vehicle routing problem. Vechicle routing problem with time windows is known to be NP-hard, and it needs a lot of computing time to get the optimal solution, so that heuristics are more frequently developed than optimal algorithms. This study aims to develop a heuristic method which combines guided local search with a tabu search in order to minimize the transportation costs for the vehicle routing assignment and uses ILOG programming library to solve.

In this paper, we suggest a hybrid genetic algorithm reinforced by a fuzzy logic controller (flc-HGA) to overcome weaknesses of conventional genetic algorithms: the problem of parameter fine-tuning, the lack of local search ability, and the convergence speed in searching process. In the proposed flc-HGA, a fuzzy logic controller is used to adaptively regulate the fine-tuning structure of genetic algorithm (GA) parameters and a local search technique is applied to find a better solution in GA loop. In numerical examples, we apply the proposed algorithm to a simple test problem and two complex combinatorial optimization problems. Experiment results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms conventional GAs and heuristics.

We consider the problem of scheduling n jobs with sequence-dependent processing times on a set of parallel-identical machines. The processing time of each job consists of a pure processing time and a sequence-dependent setup time. The objective is to maximize the total remaining machine available time which can be used for other tasks. For the problem, a hybrid genetic algorithm is proposed. The algorithm combines a genetic algorithm for global search and a heuristic for local optimization to improve the speed of evolution convergence. The genetic operators are developed such that parallel machines can be handled in an efficient and effective way. For local optimization, the adjacent pairwise interchange method is used. The proposed hybrid genetic algorithm is compared with two heuristics, the nearest setup time method and the maximum penalty method. Computational results for a series of randomly generated problems demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms the two heuristics.

In this article, a new method is introduced to improve the local search capability of meta-heuristic algorithms using the projection of the path on the border of constraints. In a mathematical point of view, the Gradient Projection Method is applied through a new approach, while the imposed limitations are removed. Accordingly, the gradient vector is replaced with a new meta-heuristic based vector. Besides, the active constraint identification algorithm, and the projection method are changed into less complex approaches. As a result, if a constraint is violated by an agent, a new path will be suggested to correct the direction of the agent's movement. The presented procedure includes three main steps: (1) the identification of the active constraint, (2) the neighboring point determination, and (3) the new direction and step length. Moreover, this method can be applied to some meta-heuristic algorithms. It increases the chance of convergence in the final phase of the search process, especially when the number of the violations of the constraints increases. The method is applied jointly with the authors' newly developed meta-heuristic algorithm, entitled Star Graph. The capability of the resulted hybrid method is examined using the optimal design of truss and frame structures. Eventually, the comparison of the results with other meta-heuristics of the literature shows that the hybrid method is successful in the global as well as local search.
