  • Quality of Service (QoS) and fairness considerations are undoubtedly essential parameters that need to be considered in the design of next generation scheduling algorithms. This work presents a novel game theoretic cross-layer design that offers optimal allocation of wireless resources to heterogeneous services in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) networks. The method is based on the Axioms of the Symmetric Nash Bargaining Solution (S-NBS) concept used in cooperative game theory that provides Pareto optimality and symmetrically fair resource distribution. The proposed strategies are determined via convex optimization based on a new solution methodology and by the transformation of the subcarrier indexes by means of time-sharing. Simulation comparisons to relevant schemes in the literature show that the proposed design can be successfully employed to typify ideal resource allocation for next-generation broadband wireless systems by providing enhanced performance in terms of queuing delay, fairness provisions, QoS support, and power consumption, as well as a comparable total throughput.

  • This paper introduces the process for Multi-objective Optimization Framework (MOF) which mediates multiple conflicting design targets. Even though the extensive researches have shown the benefits of optimization in engineering and design disciplines, most optimizations have been limited to the performance-related targets or the single-objective optimization which seek optimum solution within one design parameter. In design practice, however, designers should consider the multiple parameters whose resultant purposes are conflicting. The MOF is a BIM-integrated and simulation-based parametric workflow capable of optimizing the configuration of building components by using performance and non-performance driven measure to satisfy requirements including build programs, climate-based daylighting, occupant's experience, construction cost and etc. The MOF will generate, evaluate all different possible configurations within the predefined each parameter, present the most optimized set of solution, and then feed BIM environment to minimize data loss across software platform. This paper illustrates how Multi-objective optimization methodology can be utilized in design practice by integrating advanced simulation, optimization algorithm and BIM.

  • In creative design, it is necessary to understand the characteristic of architectural design. In the world of design problem, a distinction can be made between those that are well-defined and those that are ill-defined. Well-defined problems are those for which the ends or goal, are already prescribed and apparent, their solution requires the provision of appropriate means. For ill-defined problems, on the other hand, both the ends and the means of solution are unknown at the outset of the problem solving exercise, at least in their entirety. Most of design problems is ill-defined, which is unknown at the beginning of the problem solving exercise. In order to solve the design problem, Designers take advantage of the search methods of problem space, such as global-search-methods(depth-first-methods, breath-first-methods), local-search-methods(generate and test, heuristics, hill-climbing, reasoning) and visual thinking, which is represented through sketching. Sketching is a real part of design reasoning and it does so through a special kind of visual imagery. Also in the design problem solving it have been an important means of problem exploration and solution generation. By sketching, they represent images held in the mind as well as makes graphic images which help generate mental images of entity that is being designed. The search methods of problem space and a visual thinking have been crucially considered in the architectural design. The purpose of this paper is to explore the property of design by means of the pre-existed-experiment data and literature research. The findings will help design the architectural design for more creative results.

  • This research is to analyze ethics in fashion design for more valuable and sustainable human life against the increasing alienation of the human being, the global ecological crisis resulted from contemporary consumption society. I expect that it can be helpful to plan ethical fashion design practice more effectively. For this, the documentary study and practical case study have been executed. The results are as follows. The ethics in design can be defined as the responsibility to reform the social, environmental problem of consumptive design, to sustain together without human alienation, environment disruption and to do social good for total human being ultimately. The ethical design practice means to suggest solutions to problems of human rights and environment and to act willingly. Based on this, ethical fashion design appeared as responsible design solution which has two directions. One is the fashion design for coexistence and sharing, including the design for all which considers even underprivileged minority, the design to promote public issues as well as to donate some profits. The other is the eco fashion design for sustainable environment, including eco-friendly design which is reductive and slow in whole design process, the design to inform the seriousness of environmental crisis as well as to donate some profits. The last one of the most important ethical responsibility as fashion designer is to abide by vocational ethics, that is, the prohibition of design piracy.

  • The expected demands for the new styling design can be studied by examining the recent deliveries and the new buildings on order. These ships are setting the trend for the operation of passenger ships. There has been a rapid increase in size and produce of ship some remarkable exterior design image. These ships follow very similar design concept, even if their operator compete with each other in the same market. But also new innovative design solution have been introduced to catch the interest of the passengers. The propose of this study is to investigate the exterior styling design in passenger ships, which result form examining the exterior elements such as funnels, pods, hulls, trademark, colours, flowing curvilinear lines and from. Each different passenger ship lines require different design style for different markets, while ships of different sizes and categories obviously require different solution. When a new class is created later, key design element will be retained, with some items being changed and new ideas introduced.

  • This paper proposes shape design of frame structures for vibration suppression and weight reduction. The $H_{\infty}$ norm of the transfer function from disturbance sources to the output points where vibration should be suppressed, is adopted as the performance index to represent the magnitude of vibration transfer. The design parameters are the node positions of the frame structure, on which constraints are imposed so that the structure achieves given tasks. For computation of Pareto optimal solutions to the two-objective design problem, a number of linear combinations of the $H_{\infty}$ norm and the total weight of the structure are considered and minimized. For minimization of the scalared objective function, a Lagrange function is defined by the objective function and the imposed constraints on the design parameters. The solution for which the Lagrange function satisfies the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker condition, is searched by the sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.

  • This paper describes some properties of a discrete algebraic Riccati equation and its application to $H^{\infty}$ control design. The conditions, under which an input weighting matrix can be found for a negative output weighting matrix in order that a solution P for a discrete algebraic equation may exist, are suggested in case of a stable A. This result is applied to a $H^{\infty}$ controller design for the special case of nonsingular B. It is based on a state feedback control law whose objective is to reduce the effect of input disterbances below a prespecified level. This law requires the solution of a modified algebraic Riccati equation, which provides an method for the $H^{\infty}$ optimization control problem approximately.ly.

  • In many automatization applications, a rigid body is required to go forward and backward repeatedly through a set of given position/orientations precisely while a crank is rotated. Such a motion can be generated by 6 bar mechanism adding a dyad to a 4 bar mechanism. If this is the case for 3 position synthesis of the 4 bar mechanism, the feasible solution area for designing the 4 bar mechanism will be limited over the general solution area. This paper proposes a procedure to synthesize 4 bar mechanism to be used to generate the required motion. It is found that the only input crank of the 4 bar mechanism should be limited to satisfy the condition. And the feasible design area for the circle point/ center point of the input crank is identified so that design of the undesired mechanism could be avoided. The method is tested and the results are shown.

  • Carbonate rocks such as limestone are susceptible to solution and show numerous solution cavities. For the construction of the structures such as bridge foundations and tunnel on the limestone cavities, the geological unconformities developed in the bed rocks, cavity systems and the filling types of solution deposits should be surveyed and analyzed. And also, the stability of structures on the limestone cavities must be taken into consideration in the view of the geotechnical engineering. As a result of analysis of the foundation settlement, an economic and effective reinforcement method is to be proposed and the construction by the proposed method is to be accompanied with verification of reinforcement effect. This paper is a case study of design and construction for the reinforcement of bridge foundations on the limestone cavity covered with thick bedded colluvial soils.

  • The equivalent lens conversion technique is applied to design achromatic doublet and aplanatic doublet. A thin doublet which has zero axial thicknesses, are corrected for the third order aberrations at first, and the thin doublet is converted into thick lens system by using the equivalent lens conversion. Two types of cemented doublets, the Fraunhofer type and the Steinheil type, are designed by using a crown glass BaK-2 and a flint glass SF-2. In the thin doublet design, there are two achromatic solutions and a aplanatic solution for the both types.
