The problem of pricing for a telecommunication network is investigated with respect to the users' sensitivity to the pricing structure. A functional optimization problem is formulated, in order to compute price reallocations as functions of data collected in real time during the network evolution. No a-priori knowledge about the users' utility functions and the traffic demands is required, since adaptive reactions to the network conditions are sought in real time. To this aim, a neural approximation technique is studied to exploit an optimal pricing control law, able to counteract traffic changes with a small on-line computational effort. Owing to the generality of the mathematical framework under investigation, our control methodology can be generalized for other decision variables and cost functionals.

In this paper, an adaptive optimization strategy utilizing Kriging model and genetic algorithm is proposed for the optimal design of electromagnetic devices. The ordinary Kriging assisted by the spherical covariance model is used to construct surrogate models. In order to improve the computational efficiency, the adaptive uniform sampling strategy is applied to generate sampling points in design space. Through several iterations and gradual refinement process, the global optimal point can be found by genetic algorithm. The proposed algorithm is validated by application to the optimal design of a switched reluctance motor, where the stator pole face and shape of pole shoe attached to the lateral face of the rotor pole are optimized to reduce the torque ripple.

A network processor (NP) is an application-specific instruction-set processor for fast and efficient packet processing. There are many issues in compiler's code generation and optimization due to NP's hardware constraints and special hardware support. In this paper, we describe in detail how to resolve the issues. Our compiler was developed on LLVM 3.0 and the NP target was our in-house network processor which consists of 32 64-bit RISC processors and supports multi-context with special hardware structures. Our compiler incurs only 9.36% code size overhead over hand-written code while satisfying QoS, and the generated code was tested on a real packet processing hardware, called S20 for code verification and performance evaluation.

임베디드 시스템은 여러 분야에서 사용되고 있으며, 그 범위는 더욱더 다양하게 늘어나고 있다. 이러한 다양성은 임베디드 시스템이 사용되는 목적에 따라 새로운 아키텍처를 요구하게 되면서, 아키텍처 구조, 동작에 대한 변경 또는 새로운 설계에 대해 개발 시간과 비용을 줄이기 위한 재목적 컴파일러의 개발 필요성과 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 더욱이 전력이 제한적인 모바일 기기에서 동작하는 어플리케이션의 최적화와 이러한 최적화를 위한 컴파일러 개발은 매우 중요한 이슈가 되고 있으며, 특히 어플리케이션 성능에 직접적인 영향을 주는 컴파일러 후단부는 다양한 방법론들이 적용되어 있고 많은 연구가 수행되고 있다. 이 논문에서는 EXPRESSION의 재목적 컴파일러인 EXPRESS의 후단부에서 코드 최적화를 위해 적용된 기법을 분석하고, 기존 코드 스케줄링과 더불어 성능 개선을 위해서 기본 블록 스케줄링을 추가한 모델을 설계하고 성능평가 방법을 제시한다.

In this paper, we investigate the portfolio optimization problem under the SVCEV model, which is a hybrid model of constant elasticity of variance (CEV) and stochastic volatility, by taking into account of minimum-entropy robustness. The Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation is derived and the first two orders of optimal strategies are obtained by utilizing an asymptotic approximation approach. We also derive the first two orders of practical optimal strategies by knowing that the underlying Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process is not observable. Finally, we conduct numerical experiments and sensitivity analysis on the leading optimal strategy and the first correction term with respect to various values of the model parameters.

무선 센서들의 진보에 따라 환자의 상태를 모니터링 하거나 정보를 저장 후 원거리에 있는 의사들의 진단 제공이 가능하게 되었다. 하지만 환자의 데이터의 양에 비해 의사의 수가 적으므로 환자가 진단을 제공 받는데 시간적인 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 환자의 상태를 1 차적으로 자동 진단하는 시스템을 제안한다. 전체 데이터의 적용을 위해 Circadian rhythm에 기반한 데이터 직접방법을 제안하고 데이터를 효율적으로 분류하기 위해 PSO(Particle Swarm Optimization)을 기반으로 하는 분류화 알고리즘을 적용하여 시스템의 수행속도 향상을 도모하였다.

This paper presents a framework for controlling mobile multiple robots connected by communication networks. This framework provides novel methods to control coordinated systems using mobile agents. The combination of the mobile agent and mobile multiple robots opens a new horizon of efficient use of mobile robot resources. Instead of physical movement of multiple robots, mobile software agents can migrate from one robot to another so that they can minimize energy consumption in aggregation. The imaginary application is making "carts," such as found in large airports, intelligent. Travelers pick up carts at designated points but leave them arbitrary places. It is a considerable task to re-collect them. It is, therefore, desirable that intelligent carts (intelligent robots) draw themselves together automatically. Simple implementation may be making each cart has a designated assembly point, and when they are free, automatically return to those points. It is easy to implement, but some carts have to travel very long way back to their own assembly point, even though it is located close to some other assembly points. It consumes too much unnecessary energy so that the carts have to have expensive batteries. In order to ameliorate the situation, we employ mobile software agents to locate robots scattered in a field, e.g. an airport, and make them autonomously determine their moving behaviors by using a clustering algorithm based on the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). ACO is the swarm intelligence-based methods, and a multi-agent system that exploit artificial stigmergy for the solution of combinatorial optimization problems. Preliminary experiments have provided a favorable result. In this paper, we focus on the implementation of the controlling mechanism of the multi-robots using the mobile agents.

This paper aims to design a simulation for path-finding of objects in a simulation or game environment using reinforcement learning techniques. The main feature of this study is that the objects in the simulation are trained to avoid obstacles at random locations generated on a given track and to automatically explore path to get items. To implement the simulation, ML Agents provided by Unity Game Engine were used, and a learning policy based on PPO (Proximal Policy Optimization) was established to form a reinforcement learning environment. Through the reinforcement learning-based simulation designed in this study, we were able to confirm that the object moves on the track by avoiding obstacles and exploring path to acquire items as it learns, by analyzing the simulation results and learning result graph.

Identity recognition in real environment with a reliable mode is a key issue in human computer interaction (HCI). In this paper, we present a robust person identification system considering score-based optimal reliability measure of audio-visual modalities. We propose an extension of the modified reliability function by introducing optimizing parameters for both of audio and visual modalities. For degradation of visual signals, we have applied JPEG compression to test images. In addition, for creating mismatch in between enrollment and test session, acoustic Babble noises and artificial illumination have been added to test audio and visual signals, respectively. Local PCA has been used on both modalities to reduce the dimension of feature vector. We have applied a swarm intelligence algorithm, i.e., particle swarm optimization for optimizing the modified convection function's optimizing parameters. The overall person identification experiments are performed using VidTimit DB. Experimental results show that our proposed optimal reliability measures have effectively enhanced the identification accuracy of 7.73% and 8.18% at different illumination direction to visual signal and consequent Babble noises to audio signal, respectively, in comparison with the best classifier system in the fusion system and maintained the modality reliability statistics in terms of its performance; it thus verified the consistency of the proposed extension.
