A genetic algorithm (GA) is a stochastic direct search strategy that mimics the process of genetic evolution. The GA applied herein works on a population of structural designs at any one time, and uses a structured information exchange based on the principles of natural selection and wurvival of the fittest to recombine the most desirable features of the designs over a sequence of generations until the process converges to a "maximum fitness" design. Principles of genetics are adapted into a search procedure for structural optimization. The methods consist of three genetics operations mainly named selection, cross- over and mutation. In this study, a method of finding the optimum topology of truss/beam structure is pro- posed by using the GA. In order to use GA in the optimum topology problem, chromosomes to FEM elements are assigned, and a penalty function is used to include constraints into fitness function. The results show that the GA has the potential to be an effective tool for the optimal design of structures accounting for sizing, geometrical and topological variables.variables.

In case of manufacturing the high quality welds or pipeline, the full penetration weld has to be made along the weld joint. Thus the root pass welding is very important and has to be selected carefully. In this study, an experimental method for the selection of optimal welding condition was proposed in the root pass welding which was done along the V-grooved butt weld joint. This method uses the response surface analysis in which the width and height of back bead were chosen as the quality variables of the weld. The overall desirability function, which is the combined desirability function for the two quality variables, was used as the objective function for getting the optimal welding condition. In the experiments, the target values of the back bead width and the height are 6mm and zero respectively for the V-grooved butt weld joint of 8mm thickness mild steel. The optimal welding conditions could predict the back bead profile(bead width and height) as 6.003mm and -0.003mm. From a series of welding test, it was revealed that a uniform and full penetration weld bead can be obtained by adopting the optimal welding condition which was determined according to the method proposed.

In this study, the design concepts for Intelligent Hospital are derived using the Quality Function Deployment(QFD) and System Requirement Analysis Method. First, requirements for important elements of Intelligent hospital are defined. Second, similar systems are compared and user requirement are refined. Through this process, operational requirement for Intelligent Hospital are defined by combining user requirements and similar systems. To analyze operational requirement, the QFD of the system engineering approach are implemented. Alternative design specifications are constructed by implementing the QFD results by building the Morphological Matrix. Various concepts that satisfy the system requirement are derived. Finally the best design concept are obtained using the Pugh concept selection matrix.

A triple database consisting of a number of three-column tables require high cost of query processing, whereby building a shortcut is known as an effective way to reduce the cost. It is important to figure out what shortcuts needs to be selectively built. Most shortcut selection algorithms make use of a benefit model that considers the query frequency. However they work poor to reflect the database update. In this paper, we consider a benefit model for triple databases. The model considers not only the profit of query response times but also the building and maintenance costs of the shortcuts. We apply the model to design a benefit function which can be plugged in a greedy-based shortcut selection algorithm. We perform the empirical experiments on a real-world dataset and analyze the effect of each factor employed in the benefit function.

In GMAW processes, bead geometry is a criterion to estimate welding quality. Bead geometry is affected by welding current, arc voltage, welding speed, shielding gas and so on. Thus the welding condition has to be selected carefully. In this paper, an experimental method for the selection of optimal welding condition was proposed in the root pass welding which was done along the GMA V-grooved butt weld joint. This method uses the response surface analysis in which the width and height of back bead were chosen as the quality variables of the weld. The overall desirability function, which is the combined desirability function for the two quality variables, was used as the objective function for getting the optimal welding condition. Through the experiments, the target values of the back bead width and the height were chosen as 4mm and 1mm respectively for the V-grooved butt weld joint. From a series of welding test, it was revealed that a uniform weld bead can be obtained by adopting the optimal welding condition which was determined according to the method proposed.

모돈의 건강 상태를 정량 지수화 하기 위한 연구를 수행 중이다. 지제이상, 섭식 불량, 수면 패턴 등의 운동 특성 분석을 위하여 복수의 초음파 센서를 이용하였다. 시계열 계측 신호를 분석하여 정량 지수화를 수행하는 과정에서 주파수 도메인 분석을 시도하였다. 이 과정에서 주파수 도메인의 분해능에 따른 편차 극복을 위한 비선형 모델링을 수행하였다. 또한 인접한 시계열 데이터 구간 간의 상관성 분석이 가능하면 대용량 데이터의 실시간 처리로 인한 지연 시간 극복 및 기대되는 예후에 대한 조기 진단이 가능할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 구글에서 제공하는 Tensorflow와 NVIDIA에서 제공하는 CUDA 엔진을 동시 적용한 심층 학습 시스템을 이용하였다. 전 처리를 위하여 주파수 분해능 (2분, 3분, 5분, 7분, 11분, 13분, 17분, 19분)에 따른 데이터 집합을 1단계로 두고, 상위 10 순위 안에 드는 파워 스펙트럼 밀도의 크기를 2단계로 하여, 총 2~10개의 입력 노드를 순차적으로 선정하였고, 동일한 방식으로 인접한 시계열의 파워 스펙터럼 밀도를 순위를 변화시켜 지정하였다. 대표적인 심층학습 모델인 Softmax regression with a multilayer convolutional network를 이용하여 Recursive feature selection 경우의 수를 $8{\times}9{\times}9$로 총 648 가지 선정하고, Epoch는 10,000회로 지정하였다. Calibration 모델링의 경우 Cost function이 10% 이하인 경우 해당 경우의 학습을 중단하였으며, 모델 간 상호 교차 검증을 수행하기 위하여 $_8C_2{\times}_8C_2{\times}_8C_2$ 경우의 수에 대한 Verification test를 수행하였다. Calibration 과정 상 모든 경우에 대하여 10% 이하의 Cost function 값을 보였으나, 검증 테스트 과정에서 모든 경우에 대하여 $r^2$ < 0.5 인 결정 계수 값이 나타났다. 단적으로 심층학습 모델의 과도한 적합(Over fitting) 방식의 한계를 보인 것이라 판단할 수 있다. 적합한 Feature selection 및 심층 학습 모델에 대한 지속적이고 추가적인 고려를 통해 과도적합을 해소함과 동시에 실효적이고 활용 가능한 Classification을 위한 입, 출력 노드 단의 전후 Indexing, Quantization에 대한 고려가 필요할 것이다. 이를 통해 모돈 생체 정보 정량화를 위한 지능형 현장 진단 기술 연구를 지속할 것이다.

Gray-level histogram-based threshold selection methods such as Otsu's method, Huang and Wang's method, and etc. have been widely used for the threshold selection in image processing. They are simple and effective, but take too much time to determine the optimal multilevel threshold values as the number of thresholds are increased. In this paper, we measure correlation between gray-levels by using the Gaussian function and define a Gaussian-type finite mixture distribution which is combination of the Gaussian distribution function with the gray-level histogram, and propose a fast and effective threshold selection method using it. We show the effectiveness of the proposed through experimental results applied it to three images and the efficiency though comparison of the computational complexity of the proposed with that of Otsu's method.

Due to increasing competition of globalization and fast technological improvements the appropriate method for evaluating and selecting IS-personnel is one of the key factors for an organization's success. Personnel selection is a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem which consists of both qualitative and quantitative metrics. Although many articles have discussed various knowledge and skills IS personnel should possess, no specific model for IS personnel selection and evaluation, to our knowledge, has been published up to now. After reviewing the IS personnel's important characteristics, we propose an approach for categorizing the IS personnel based on their skills, ability, and knowledge during evaluation and selection process. Our proposed approach is derived from a model of neural network algorithm. We have adapted and implemented the fuzzy ART algorithm with Jaccard choice function. The result of an illustrative numerical example is proposed to demonstrate the easiness and effectiveness of our approach.

This paper proposes a new method for accelerating the search speed of genetic algorithms by taking derivative evaluation and conditional random selection into account in their evolution process. Derivative evaluation makes genetic algorithms focus on the individuals whose fitness is rapidly increased. This accelerates the search speed of genetic algorithms by enhancing exploitation like steepest descent methods but also increases the possibility of a premature convergence that means most individuals after a few generations approach to local optima. On the other hand, derivative evaluation under a premature convergence helps genetic algorithms escape the local optima by enhancing exploration. If GAs fall into a premature convergence, random selection is used in order to help escaping local optimum, but its effects are not large. We experimented our method with one combinatorial problem and five complex function optimization problems. Experimental results showed that our method was superior to the simple genetic algorithm especially when the search space is large.

Future wireless network aims to integrate different radio access networks (RANs) to provide a seamless access and service continuity. In this paper, a new resource denotation method is proposed in the WLAN and LTE heterogeneous networks based on a concept of spectral bandwidth mapping. This method simplifies the denotation of system resources and makes it possible to calculate system residual capacity, upon which an economic model-based network selection algorithm is designed in both under-loaded and over-loaded scenarios in the heterogeneous networks. The simulation results show that this algorithm achieves better performance than the utility function-based access selection (UFAS) method proposed in [12] in increasing system capacity and system revenue, achieving load balancing and reducing the new call blocking probability in the heterogeneous networks.
