A design method of network Topology for Integrated Management of various Networks is prposed and an example is shown. The TMN-DCN devices are assigned for each of the various networks. These devices have functions of network management. Also we propose the simple design methods of the network topology with survivability as one of the network management elements. The design methods are very simple but very useful. Because there is no general design algorithm for optimal topology with network survivability.

In this research. we have proposed a new technique to determine .the combination of design parameters for the process design of a hot forged product using artificial neural network(ANN) and statistical design of experiments(DOE). The investigated problem involves the adequate selection of the aspect ratio of billet, the ram velocity and the friction factor as design parameters. An optimal billet satisfying the forming limitation, die filling, load and energy as well as more uniform distribution of effective strain, is determined by applying the ability of artificial neural network and considering the analysis of mean and variation on the functional requirement. This methodology will be helpful in designing and controlling parameters on the shop floor which would yield the best design solution.

This paper presents a two- phase search scheme for optimal pipe expansion of expansion of existing water distribution systems. In pipe network problems, link flows affect the total cost of the system because the link flows are not uniquely determined for various pipe diameters. The two-phase search scheme based on stochastic optimization scheme is suggested to determine the optimal link flows which make the optimal design of existing pipe network. A sample pipe network is employed to test the proposed method. Once the best tree network is obtained, the link flows are perturbed to find a near global optimum over the whole feasible region. It should be noted that in the perturbation stage the loop flows obtained form the sample existing network are employed as the initial loop flows of the proposed method. It has been also found that the relationship of cost-hydraulic gradient for pipe expansion of existing network affects the total cost of the sample network. The results show that the proposed method can yield a lower cost design than the conventional design method and that the proposed method can be efficiently used to design the pipe expansion of existing water distribution systems.

This study deals with the optimal design of mobile access network connecting base stations(BSs) and mobile switching centers(MSCs). Generally mobile operators constitute their access networks by leasing communication lines. Using the characteristic of leased line rate based on administration region, we build an optimization model for mobile access network design which has much smaller number of variables than the existing researches. And we develop a GUI based optimization tool integrating the well-known softwares such as MS EXCEL. MS VisualBasic, MS PowerPoint and Ip_solve, a freeware optimization software. Employing the current access network configuration of a Korean mobile carrier, this study using the optimization tool obtain an optimal solution for both single MSC access network and nation-wide access network. Each optimal access network achieves 7.45% and 9.49% save of lease rate, respectively. Considering the monthly charge and total amount of lease line rate, our optimization tool provides big amount of save in network operation cost. Besides the graphical representation of access networks makes the operator easily understand and compare current and optimal access networks.

New technology development capability plays a key role in making small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) increase their innovation performance, such as in product or process innovation. To examine the influencing factors of SMEs' new technology development capability, this study empirically analyzes the mediating effects of SMEs' process design capability and product interior design capability on the positive association between their external information network diversity and new technology development capability. This study performs the ordinary least squares regression on a sample of 2,000 South Korean SMEs. Results reveal that SMEs' process design capability fully mediates, and product interior design capability partially mediates the positive association between the external information network diversity and new technology development capability.

A network design problem (NDP) is to find a design parameter to optimize the performance of transportation system. This paper presents a modified NDP, called target-oriented NDP, which contains a target that we try to arrive in real world, and also proposes a solution algorithm. Unlike general NDP which seeks an optimal value to minimize or to maximize objective function of the system, in target-oriented NDP traffic manager or operator can set a target level prior and then try to find an optimal design variable to attain this goal. A simple example for mode choice problem is given to test the model.

Generally, the network topology design problem, which is difficult to solve with the classical method because it has exponentially increasing complexity with the augmented network size, is characterized as a kind of NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem. The problem of this research is to design the highly reliable network topology considering the connection cost and all-terminal network reliability, which can be defined as the probability that every pair of nodes can communicate with each other. In order to solve the highly reliable network topology design problem minimizing the construction cost subject to network reliability, we proposes an efficient two phase approach to design reliable network topology, i.e., the first phase employs, a genetic algorithm (GA) which uses $Pr\ddot{u}fer$ number for encoding method and backtracking Algorithm for network reliability calculation, to find the spanning tree; the second phase is a greedy method which searches the optimal network topology based on the spanning ree obtained in the first phase, with considering 2-connectivity. finally, we show some experiments to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our two phase approach.

In this paper, we design and construct a high speed LAN(Local Area Network) using FDDI(Fiber Distributed Data Interface) and Frame Relay in order to support our multimedia communication services. A program of this communication network is divided into requirement analysis, design, establishment and test. First, we propose an optimal communication method that compares various network techniques in the requirement analysis phase. Second, we design the physical network configuration, secure method, and address in the LAN and WAN. Finally, we establish and test the communication devices and lines. Ultimately, we minimized mistakes and satisfied user requirements using this program. We constructed efficiently a high speed data communication network using FDDI and Frame Relay.
