The facility layout problem (FLP) involves the positioning of facilities within a given workplace in order to minimize the material flow distance between facilities. In this paper, we focus on the FLP in which the each facility has a rectangular shape and an input and output points. We develop a heuristic algorithm in which the facilities are arranged according to the layout algorithm using center of gravity and then simulated annealing algorithm is applied to improve the solution. A comparison of the computational results with exiting algorithms shows that the proposed algorithm provides better solutions in reasonable range of computational time.

The semiconductor industry has continuously been looking for the ways to improve yield and to reduce manufacturing cost. The layout modification approach, one of yield enhancement techniques, is applicable to all design styles, but it does not require any additional resources in terms of silicon area. The layout modification method for yield enhancement consists of making local variations in the layout of some layers in such a way that the critical area, and consequently the sensitivity of the layer to point defects, is reduced. Chen and Koren (1995) proposed a greedy algorithm that removes defect sensitive area using via moving, but it is easy to fall into a local minimum. In this paper, we present a via moving algorithm using simulated annealing and enhance yield by diminishing defect sensitive area. As a result, we could decrease the defect sensitive area effectively compared to the greedy algorithm presented by Chen and Koren. We expect that the proposed algorithm can make significant contributions on company profit through yield enhancement.

Optimal sensor placement techniques play a significant role in enhancing the quality of modal data during the vibration based health monitoring of civil structures, where many degrees of freedom are available despite a limited number of sensors. The literature has shown a shift in the trends for solving such problems, from expansion or elimination approach to the employment of heuristic algorithms. Although these heuristic algorithms are capable of providing a global optimal solution, their greatest drawback is the requirement of high computational effort. Because a highly efficient optimisation method is crucial for better accuracy and wider use, this paper presents an improved simulated annealing (SA) algorithm to solve the sensor placement problem. The algorithm is developed based on the sensor locations' coordinate system to allow for the searching in additional dimensions and to increase SA's random search performance while minimising the computation efforts. The proposed method is tested on a numerical slab model that consists of two hundred sensor location candidates using three types of objective functions; the determinant of the Fisher information matrix (FIM), modal assurance criterion (MAC), and mean square error (MSE) of mode shapes. Detailed study on the effects of the sensor numbers and cooling factors on the performance of the algorithm are also investigated. The results indicate that the proposed method outperforms conventional SA and Genetic Algorithm (GA) in the search for optimal sensor placement.

In this paper, we propose a real-time classifier to distinguish humans from livestock by using the spatial integral. The image-difference method and the Expectation Maximization are used to reduce noises in input image. A histogram analysis based on Simulated Annealing and the fuzzy-Bayesian algorithm are used to classify human and livestock. Finally, the experiment results show the validity of the proposed method.

In this paper we present a color image segmentation algorithm based on statistical models. A novel deterministic annealing Expectation Maximization(EM) formula is derived to estimate the parameters of the Gaussian Mixture Model(GMM) which represents the multi-colored objects statistically. The experimental results show that the proposed deterministic annealing EM is a global optimal solution for the ML parameter estimation and the image field is segmented efficiently by using the parameter estimates.

SA, TS, GA and ACS are four of the main algorithms for solving challenging problems of intelligent systems. In this paper we consider Examination Timetabling Problem that is a common problem for all universities and institutions of higher education. There are many methods to solve this problem, In this paper we use Simulated Annealing, Tabu Search, Genetic Algorithm and Ant Colony System in their basic frameworks for solving this problem and compare results of them with each other.

The reconstructed images can be significantly improved by SA and to large computation cost of SA can be significantly reduced by the fast algorithm.

본 논문에서는 Tabu Search(TS) 알고리듬과 Simulated Annealing(SA) 알고리듬을 결합하여 향상된 성능을 갖는 컴퓨터 형성 홀로그램을 설계할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 회전 효율의 향상을 위해 TS 알고리듬으로 이상적인 홀로그램에 근접한 패턴을 생성하고, 이를 SA 알고리듬에서 무작위로 구성된 초기 패턴과 대체하여 컴퓨터 형성 홀로그램을 설계하였다. 컴퓨터 모의 실험과 광 실험을 통하여 제안한 방법과 SA 알고리듬과의 성능을 비교한 결과 제안한 방법으로 재생한 영상이 SA 알고리듬을 이용하였을 때보다 향상된 회전 효율과 균일도를 가지는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

Minimum Weight Triangulation (MWT) 는 최적화 문제로서 주어진 그래프에 대한 최소 무게 삼각화를 계산하는 문제이다. 본 문제는 많은 다른 그래프 문제들처럼 일반 그래프에 대하여 NP-hard 계열의 문제로 알려져 있으며 지금까지 simulated annealing 및 유전 알고리즘 등 heuristic algorithm 들이 제시되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 MWT 문제에 대하여 GA-FF 라 불리우는 새로운 유전 알고리즘을 제시하며 또한 그성능이 기존의 유전 알고리즘보다 더욱 효율적임을 보인다.
