The purpose of this paper is to review global stochastic optimization algorithms(GSOA) in case binary response experimentation is used and to compare the performances of them. GSOAs utilise estimator of probability of success $\^p$ instead of population probability of success p, since p is unknown and only known by its estimator which has stochastic characteristics. Hill climbing algorithm algorithm, simple random search, random search with random restart, random optimization, simulated annealing and particle swarm algorithm as a population based algorithm are considered as global stochastic optimization algorithms. For the purpose of comparing the algorithms, two types of test functions(one is simple uni-modal the other is complex multi-modal) are proposed and Monte Carlo simulation study is done to measure the performances of the algorithms. All algorithms show similar performances for simple test function. Less greedy algorithms such as Random optimization with Random Restart and Simulated Annealing, Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO) based on population show much better performances for complex multi-modal function.

In this study, a hybrid meta-heuristic approach is proposed for solving engineering design optimization problems. Various approaches in many literatures have been proposed to solve engineering optimization problems with various types of decision variables and complex constraints. Unfortunately, however, their efficiencies for locating optimal solution do not be highly improved. Therefore, we propose a hybrid meta-heuristic approach for improving their weaknesses. the proposed GA-VNS-HC approach is combining genetic algorithm (GA) for global search with variable neighborhood search (VNS) and hill climbing (HC) for local search. In case study, various types of engineering design optimization problems are used for proving the efficiency of the proposed GA-VNS-HC approach

Although KBANN(knowledge-based artificial neural network) has been shown to be more effective than other machine learning algorithms, KBANN doesn't have the theory refinement capability because the topology of the network can't be altered dynamically. Although TopGen algorithm was proposed to extend the ability of KABNN in this respect, it also had some defects due to the connection of hidden nodes from all input nodes and the use of beam search. An algorithm, which could solve this TopGen's defects by adding the hidden nodes connected from only related input nodes and using hill-climbing search with backtracking, is proposed.

Many contests by micro mouse was celebrated of which maze search algorithms performance are compared. That is used in various forms based on left(right) weight method, euclidean algorithm method, hill climbing method. However we feel uncomfortable to test algorithms performance through direct development of programs or hardwares as no software platform to test in maze search algorithms. In this research we develop of a platform for maze search algorithms that is easily to produce various forms of maze that are hard to be realized by hardware, to apply algorithms, and evaluate the seek time, operation count, steps and performance. The platform is consist of main layer, interface layer, user layer which has merit to apply and replace easily algorithms. We verified that the maze search algorithm can be applied even in the development and experiment of algorithm by evaluating and analyzing its performance through the experiment of platform.

소프트웨어 개발의 생산성과 신뢰성을 향상시키기 위해 소프트웨어 재사용이 필요하며, 소프트웨어 재사용에서는 원하는 부품을 정확하고 신속하게 검색하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 재사용 라이브러리에서 재사용 부품 추출을 위하여 정보추출 기법의 질의어 최적화 과정에 시뮬레이티드 어닐링을 적용하였다. 최적화 과정은 적합성 피이드백(relevance feedback)과 벡터 공간 모델을 적용하여 선형추출(linear retrieval)을 할 때 질의어 용어 가중치를 최적화 하는 것으로써, 실험을 통하여 최적화한 질의어의 추출효과도(retrieval effectiveness)척도가 최적화 하지 않은 경우의 척도보다 결과가 매우 좋다는 것을 보인다. 그리고 언덕 오르기(Hill-climbing)알고리즘을 사용한 방법과 비교, 분석한다.

Search-Based Software Testing (SBST) is an effective technique for test data generation on large domain size. Although the performance of SBST seems to be affected by the structural characteristics of Software Under Test (SUT), studies for the comparison of SBST techniques considering structural characteristics are rare. In addition to the comparison study for SBST, we analyzed the best algorithm with different structural characteristics of SUT. For the generalization of experimental results, we automatically generated 19,800 SUTs by combining four metrics, which are expected to affect the performance of SBST. According to the experiment results, Genetic algorithm showed the best performance for SUTs with high complexity and test data evaluation with count ${\leq}20,000$. On the other hand, the genetic simulated annealing and the simulated annealing showed relatively better performance for SUTs with high complexity and test data evaluation with count ${\geq}50,000$. Genetic simulated annealing, simulated annealing and hill climbing showed better performance for SUTs with low complexity.

The traveling salesman problem(TSP) is one of the most famous combinatorial optimization problem. So far, many metaheuristic search algorithms have been proposed to solve the problem, and one of them is local search. One of the very important factors in local search is neighbor generation method, and random-based neighbor generation methods such as inversion have been mainly used. This paper proposes 4 new greedy-based neighbor generation methods. Three of them are based on greedy insertion heuristic which insert selected cities one by one into the current best position. The other one is based on greedy rotation. The proposed methods are applied to first-choice hill-climbing search and simulated annealing which are representative local search algorithms. Through the experiment, we confirmed that the proposed greedy-based methods outperform the existing random-based methods. In addition, we confirmed that some greedy-based methods are superior to the existing local search methods.
