A new solution procedure for approximate reanalysis, using the staged hybrid methods with substructuring, is proposed in this study. Displacements are calculated with two step mixed procedures. First step is to introduce the conservative approximation, which is a hybrid form of the linear and reciprocal approximation, as local approximation. In the next step, it is combined with the global approximation by reduced basis approach. Stresses are evaluated from the displacements by matrix transformation. The quality of reanalyzed quantities can be greatly improved through these staged hybrid approximations, specially for large changes in the design. Overall procedures are based on substructuring scheme. Several numerical examples illustrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Design-oriented approximate structural reanalysis models are compared and assessed, particularly with focus on the case of large changes of design variables. The effectiveness and reliability are demonstrated by means of numerical examples. The results of the study suggest the following conclusions relative to the potential of the procedures. (A) local approximation is only appropriate for the case of small changes in design : (B) global approximation is exact for the case of large changes in a small number of design variables, but inefficient : (C) local-global approximation is most effective and reliable for the case of large changes with a large number of design variables. These methods can improve the total efficiency when they are appropriately used to the design information for the redesign process of large scale structures.

As a modeling method where the merits of fuzzy inference system and evolutionary computation are put together, evolutionary fuzzy modeling performs global approximate optimization. The paper proposes fuzzy clustering as fuzzy rule generation process which is one of the most important steps in evolutionary fuzzy modeling. With application of fuzzy clustering into the experiment or simulation results, fuzzy rules which properly describe non-linear and complex design problem can be obtained. The efficiency of evolutionary fuzzy modeling can be improved utilizing the membership degrees of data to clusters from the results of fuzzy clustering. To ensure the validity of the proposed method, the real design problem of an automotive inner trim is applied and the global approximation is achieved. Evolutionary fuzzy modeling is performed for several cases which differ in the number of clusters and the criterion of rule selection and their results are compared to prove that the proposed method can provide proper fuzzy rules for a given system and reduce computation time while maintaining the errors of modeling as a satisfactory level.

Feed-forward neural networks have been widely used as function approximation tools in the context of global approximate optimization. In the present study, a wavelet neural network (WNN) which is based on wavelet transform theory is suggested as an alternative to a traditional back-propagation neural network (BPN). The basic theory of wavelet neural network is briefly described, and approximation performance is tested using a nonlinear multimodal function and a composite rotor blade analysis problem. Laplacian of Gaussian function, Mexican function, and Morlet function are considered during the construction of WNN architectures. In addition, approximation results from WNN are compared with those from BPN.

This paper proposes a training algorithm for global optimization of the parameters of radial basis function networks. Since conventional training algorithms usually perform only local optimization, the performance of the network is limited and the final network significantly depends on the initial network parameters. The proposed hybrid simulated annealing algorithm performs global optimization of the network parameters by combining global search capability of simulated annealing and local optimization capability of gradient-based algorithms. Via experiments for function approximation problems, we demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can find networks showing better training and test performance and reduce effects of the initial network parameters on the final results.

데이터 스트림 관리 시스템에서 조인 연산자는 질의가 내포하는 여러 연산자들 가운데 상대적인 계산비용이 높은 연산자로, 센서 네트워크와 같이 한정적 정보들이 개별적으로 입력되는 환경에서는 필연적으로 요구된다. 데이터 스트림은 잠재적으로 무한한 크기를 가지므로 조인 연산자는 슬라이딩 윈도우 제약사항을 가져야 하며, 종합적인 결과를 얻기 위해 조인 연산자가 여러 입력을 취할 수 있어야 한다. 이를 가능하게 하는 것이 바로 슬라이딩 윈도우를 가지는 MJoin 연산자이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 여러 MJoin 연산자가 시스템에 등록되어 있는 환경을 가정하고, 슬라이딩 윈도우 제약사항과 MJoin의 특성을 반영하여 전역적으로 공유된 질의 실행 계획 수립 및 처리에 관한 문제를 다룬다. 이러한 다중 MJoin에 대한 전역 공유 질의 실행 계획 수립 문제가 NP-Hard임을 증명하고, 근사화 접근 방법을 제안한다. 또한 전역적으로 공유된 질의 실행 계획을 올바르게 수행할 수 있는 처리 기법을 제안한다. 이러한 연구의 노력은 데이터 스트림 환경에서 효율적인 다중 질의 최적화 및 처리기법의 기초 연구로 활용될 수 있다.

In order to render global illumination realistically, we need to accurately compute the direct and indirect illumination that represents the light information incoming through complex light paths. In this process, the indirect illumination at given point is greatly affected by surrounding geometries. Harmonic mean distance is a mathematical tool which is often used as a metric indicating the distance from a surface point to its visible objects in 3D space, and plays a key role in such advanced global illumination algorithms as irradiance/radiance caching and ambient occlusion. In this paper, we analyze the accuracy of harmonic mean distance estimated against various environments in the final gathering and photon mapping methods. Based on the experimental results, we discuss our experiences and future directions that may help develop an effective harmonic mean distance computation method in the future.

In this study, a repetitive response surface enhancement technique (RRSET) is proposed as a new system approximation method for the efficient multidisciplinary design and optimization (MDO). In order to represent the highly nonlinear behavior of the response with second order polynomials, RRSET introduces a design space transformation using stretching functions and repetitive response surface improvement. The tentative optimal point is repetitively included to the set of experimental points to better approximate the response surface of the system especially near the optimal point, hence a response surface with significantly improved accuracy can be generated with very small experimental points and system iterations. As a system optimizer, the simulated annealing, which generates a global design solution is utilized. The proposed technique is applied to several numerical examples, and demonstrates the validity and efficiency of the method. With its improved approximation accuracy, the RRSET can contribute to resolve large and complex system design problems under MDO environment.
