Abstract

Harmony search algorithm (HSA), developed by Hydrosystem lab. in Korea University in 2001, was a new meta-heuristic optimization algorithm inspired by the iterative improvision process of Jazz music players where the best harmony is eventually produced. HSA is now one of the most well-known meta-heuristic algorithms (as proven by its cited number of the first published paper more than 3,600 times as of January 11th 2018 based on Google Scholar citation) and has been applied to diverse research domains such as not only water resources and civil engineering but also in medical science, business, and humanities. This paper is a review article written with the wish for wider application of HSA and other optimization algorithms, especially in the domain of water resources engineering. Therefore, this paper first briefly introduces the mechanism and operators of HSA and then reviews its application area and citation frequency per research domain. In addition, recent globalization of HSA will be investigated and summarized by checking the current status of related international conferences and on-going research projects. After reviewing previous domestic papers with optimization algorithms specifically published in the water resources domain, this paper is finalized by delivering some suggestions to encourage the application of optimization algorithms including HSA.

화음탐색법은 2001년 고려대학교 수자원연구실에서 개발한 최적화 알고리즘으로 재즈의 즉흥연주에서 반복적인 연습을 거듭할 수 록 좋은 화음이 만들어지는 현상에 착안하였다. 화음탐색법은 처음 소개된 논문이 Google Scholar 기준 약 3,600여 회(2018년 1월 11일 기준) 인용될 만큼 유전자알고리즘과 견줄만한 세계적인 최적화 알고리즘이 되었고 비단 수자원공학 및 토목공학 뿐 만 아니라 공학 전 분야, 의학, 경영학, 인문학 등 다양한 분야에 적용되고 있다. 본 논문은 화음탐색법을 포함한 최적화 알고리즘이 수자원공학의 다양한 분야에서 널리 적용되기를 바라며 작성된 화음탐색법 총설논문(Review Article)이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 먼저 화음탐색법을 간략히 소개하고 적용분야 및 분야별 적용 빈도를 살펴본다. 또한 화음탐색법의 세계화 현황을 관련 학회의 성장과 관련 연구프로젝트의 동향 정리를 통해 알아본다. 마지막으로 국내 수자원공학 분야 연구에 적용된 최적화 알고리즘 현황을 살펴보고 활용의 증대를 위한 몇 가지 제안사항을 전달하며 마무리한다.
