This paper describes the method of hull shape optimization to improve the resistance performance of planing hulls when a reference hull shape and its principal dimensions are given. First, the planing hull of precedent research is adopted as the reference hull and an optimization problem is formulated by defining hull shape parameters. The search space of this research is discretized for computing cost and DPSO(Discrete binary version of Particle Swarm Optimization) method is used to solve the optimization problem. As the result of optimization, the decrease of resistance is confirmed from the comparison between the reference hull's and the modified hull's planing performance from computational results.

Topology optimization problem requires numerous repeated evaluations of objective function and design sensitivity for elements within design domain with various density distributions. The recently proposed two-level condensation scheme(TLCS) is very promising for the construction of reduced system and for an accurate and efficient analysis concerned about eigenvalue and dynamic problems. We used the two-level dynamic condensation scheme for the analysis and sensitivity computation part in the structural topology optimization problem. The results of the topology optimization for the reduced system show the TLCS provides high accuracy and computation efficiency compared to the full scale system within engineering accuracy.

인터넷이 발전함에 따라 네트워크 시스템의 토폴로지 설계에 관한 여러 가지 문제들에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 이러한 네트워크의 토폴로지 구조는 서비스 센터, 터미널(사용자), 연결 케이블로 이루어져 있다. 근래에 이런 네트워크 시스템들은 사용자들로부터의 요구사항이 많아지고 있기에 주로 광케이블로 구축하는 경우가 점차 늘어나고 있다지만, 광케이블의 비판 비용을 고려하면 네트워크의 구조가 스패닝 트리(spanning tree)로 구축되어 지는 것이 바람직하다고 볼 수 있다. 네트워크 토폴로지 설계 문제들은 연결비용, 평균 메시지 지연, 네트워크 신뢰도 등과 같은 설계 기준들을 최적으로 만족하는 토폴로지를 탐색하는 것으로 정의될 수 있다. 최근에 유전자 알고리즘(GA)은 네트워크 최적화 문제, 조합 최적화 문제, 다목적 최적화 문제 등과 같은 관련된 분야에서 많은 연구들이 이루어지고 있으며 또한, 많은 실세계의 문제를 위한 최적화 기술로서 그 잠재력을 매우 주목 받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 연결비용, 평균 메시지 지연, 네트워크 신뢰도를 고려하여, 광케이블로 구성되어 지는 광대역통신 네트워크의 2목적 네트워크 토폴로지 설계 문제들을 풀기 위한 GA를 제안한다. 또한, 후보 네트워크 토폴로지 구조를 염색체(chromosome)로 표현하기 위해 Prtifer수(PN_와 클러스터 스트링으로 구성되어지는 새로운 엔코딩 방법도 제안한다. 마지막으로 수치예를 통해 제안한 GA의 성능을 평가할 것이다.

In facing the lack of a deterministic algorithm for economic load dispatch optimization problem, only non-deterministic heuristic algorithms have been suggested. Worse still, there is a near deficiency of research devoted to real-time load dispatch optimization algorithm. In this paper, therefore, I devise a shut-off and swap algorithm to solve real-time load dispatch optimization problem. With this algorithm in place, generators with maximum cost-per-unit generation power are to be shut off. The proposed shut-off criteria use only quadratic function in power generation cost function without valve effect nonlinear absolute function. When applied to the most prevalent economic load dispatch benchmark data, the proposed algorithm is proven to largely reduce the power cost of known algorithms.

With the positive features of simulated annealing algorithms such as simplicity of the algorithm and the possibility of finding global optimum solution, SA algorithm has been widely applied to structural optimization problems. However, the algorithms are far from practical applications in structural design or optimization of building structures due to requirement of a large number of iterations and dependency on cooling schedule and stopping criteria. In this paper, with the modification of annealing process and stopping criteria, a MSA algorithm is presented in the form of two phase annealing process for optimal seismic design of braced structures. The performance of the proposed algorithm has been illustrated in detail.

The Shape optimization makes it possible to reduce the weight of structure and cost then member sizing optimization. A vast amount of imprecise information is existed in constraints of the optimum design. It is very difficult and sometimes confusing to describe and to deal with the several criteria which contain fuzzy degrees of relatives importance. This paper proposed weighting strategies in the multiobjective shape optimization of fuzzy structural system by ${\alpha}$-cut approach. The algorithm in this research is numerically tested for 2-bar truss structure. The result show that. the user can choose the one optimum solution in practices as obtaining the optimum solutions according to the ${\alpha}$-cut approach, weight of volume and displacement.

한 기의 영상레이더 위성을 이용하여 동일한 촬영지역에 대해 적절한 기선벡터(Baseline)을 유지하는 두 장(scene)의 영상을 획득하여 그 지역의 정밀 표고차를 추출하는 레이더 간섭계(Interferometry) 임무를 수행하기 위해서는 반복지상궤적을 유지하도록 위성의 궤도를 주기적으로 조정해 주어야 한다. 이 연구에서는 반복지상궤적 유지 정밀도를 극대화시키기 위하여 최적의 기준궤도를 생성하고 이를 유지하기 위한 속도증분 및 궤도 조정 일정을 산출할 수 있는 궤도최적화 S/W 를 개발하였다. 이 연구의 최적 궤도 설계 문제는 다음과 같다. "시작시간 $T_0$에서 초기 접촉궤도 상태벡터 (ECEF 위치 및 속도벡터) $x_0$이고, 지상궤적반복주기 p 이후의 시간 $T_0+p$에서도 초기 접촉궤도 상태벡터와 동일한$x_0$가 되도록 궤도를 유지하려고 할 때, 여명 궤도(dawn-dusk and sun-synchronous orbit)에서 운영되는 위성의 연료소모(또는 속도증분)를 최소화시키는 가상의 궤도조정(maneuver) 횟수, 시기, 크기를 찾아라." 이 연구에서는 궤도최적화 문제를 풀기 위하여 GRACE 중력모델(GGM02C)이 적용된 수치적 방법의 위성궤도예측 알고리즘을 시스템 설계에 적용하였고, 매개변수 최적화 방법 중 구속조건이 있는 비선형 최적화 기법의 하나인 연속 2차 계획법(sequential quadratic programming)을 사용하여 해를 구하였다. 개발된 궤도최적화 S/W의 성능을 분석하기 위하여 고도 550km의 여명궤도를 돌며 지상궤적반복주기가 28일인 영상레이더 위성에 대해 적용하였다. 해석 결과를 통해, 비록 시스템의 비선형이 큼에도 불구하고 최소의 속도증분으로 정밀한 반복지상궤적이 유지됨을 알 수 있었다.

In this research, a Three Level Decomposition technique has been developed for configuration design optimization of truss structures. In the first level, as design variables, behavior variables are used and the strain energy has been treated as the cost function to be maximized so that the truss structure can absorb maximum energy. For design constraint of the optimal design problem, allowable stress, buckling stress, and displacement under multi-loading conditions are considered. In the second level, design problem is formulated using the cross-sectional area as the design variable and the weight of the truss structure as the cost function. As for the design constraint, the equilibrium equation with the optimal displacement obtained in the first level is used. In the third level, the nodal point coordinates of the truss structure are used as coordinating variable and the weight has been taken as the cost function. An advantage of the Three Level Decomposition technique is that the first and second level design problems are simple because they are linear programming problems. Moreover, the method is efficient because it is not necessary to carry out time consuming structural analysis and techniques for sensitivity analysis during the design optimization process. By treating the nodal point coordinates as design variables, the third level becomes unconstrained optimal design problems which is easier to solve. Moreover, by using different convergence criteria at each level of design problem, improved convergence can be obtained. The proposed technique has been tested using four different truss structures to yield almost identical optimum designs in the literature with efficient convergence rate regardless of constraint types and configuration of truss structures.

This paper considers a problem to find a set of intervals containing all the points for the given n points and m intervals on a line, This is a special case of the set cover problem, well known as an NP-hard problem. As optimization criteria of the problem, there are minimizing the number of intervals to cover the points, maximizing the number of points each of which is covered by exactly one interval, and so on. In this paper, the intervals have weights and the sum of weights of intervals to cover a point is defined as a membership of the point. We will study the problem to find an interval cover minimizing the maximum of memberships of points. Using the dynamic programming method, we provide an O(m²)-time algorithm to improve the time complexity O(nm log n) given in the previous work.

Increasing attention is being recently devoted to various problems inherent in the topological design of networks systems. The topological structure of these networks can be based on service centers, terminals (users), and connection cable. Lately, these network systems are well designed with tiber optic cable, because the requirements from users become increased. But considering the high cost of the fiber optic cable, it is more desirable that the network architecture is composed of a spanning tree. In this paper, we present a GA (Genetic Algorithm) for solving bicriteria network topology design problems of wide-band communication networks connected with fiber optic cable, considering the connection cost, average message delay, and the network reliability We also employ the $Pr\ddot{u}fer$ number (PN) and cluster string in order to represent chromosomes. Finally, we get some experiments in order to certify that the proposed GA is the more effective and efficient method in terms of the computation time as well as the Pareto optimality.
