High performance concrete (HPC) depends on various parameters such as the type of cement, aggregate and water reducer amount. Generally, the ready concrete company in various regions according to the requirements and costs, mix design of concrete as well as type of cement, aggregates, and, amount of other components will vary as a result of moment decisions or dynamic optimization, though the ideal conditions will be more applicable for the design of mix proportion of concrete. This study aimed to apply dynamic optimization for mix design of HPC; consequently, the objective function, decision variables, input and output variables and constraints are defined and also the proposed dynamic optimization model is validated by experimental results. Results indicate that dynamic optimization objective function can be defined in such a way that the compressive strength or performance of all constraints is simultaneously examined, so changing any of the variables at each step of the process input and output data changes the dynamic of the process which makes concrete mix design formidable.

The present study aims to optimize the performance of the Two-Stage Gas Gun by using the experimentally obtained data. RSM(Response Surface Method) was adopted in the optimization process to find the operating parameter than can maximize the projectile speed with the minimum number of tests. To decide the test points which results can consist of the response surface, 3$^{k}$ full factorial method was used, and the design variables were chosen with piston mass and 2$^{nd}$ driver fill pressure. The response surface was composed by nine test results and consequently the optimization was done with GENOCOP III, inherently GA code, in order to seek the optimal test point. The optimal test condition from the response surface was verified by the experiment. Results showed that the optimization process with response surface can successfully predict the test results fairly well. This study shows the possibility of performance optimization for the experimental facilities using numerical optimization algorithm.

This paper presents HE-AAC decoder optimization on TMS320C55x fixed-point DSP core using a DSP-C like FFR code, which provides fast and flexible porting to a DSP core. Our optimization efforts are focused on methodologies that include general optimization methods of FFR code suitable for general DSP or RISC platform in high-level language and software optimization methods in assembly language level. The implementation result requires 48 MIPS and 135 Kbytes memory space to decode 48 Kbps stereo using real Korean S-DMB data.

This paper presents JPEG quantization table design using RD optimization and neural network. Using R-D optimization, quantization table with good performance can be obtained. However, it is time-consuming and difficult to adopt to embedded systems. In this paper, a new quantization table design method is proposed using R-D optimization and neural network. Neural network learns the quantization table obtained from R-D optimization and produces a quantization table for the Images. The proposed system is applied to Yale face data. From the simulation results, it has been shown that the proposed codec has better performance than JPEG.

This paper introduces the process for Multi-objective Optimization Framework (MOF) which mediates multiple conflicting design targets. Even though the extensive researches have shown the benefits of optimization in engineering and design disciplines, most optimizations have been limited to the performance-related targets or the single-objective optimization which seek optimum solution within one design parameter. In design practice, however, designers should consider the multiple parameters whose resultant purposes are conflicting. The MOF is a BIM-integrated and simulation-based parametric workflow capable of optimizing the configuration of building components by using performance and non-performance driven measure to satisfy requirements including build programs, climate-based daylighting, occupant's experience, construction cost and etc. The MOF will generate, evaluate all different possible configurations within the predefined each parameter, present the most optimized set of solution, and then feed BIM environment to minimize data loss across software platform. This paper illustrates how Multi-objective optimization methodology can be utilized in design practice by integrating advanced simulation, optimization algorithm and BIM.

This paper presents an optimization procedure for high-efficiency design of a mixed-flow pump. Optimization techniques based on a weighted-average surrogate model are used to optimize a vane diffuser of a mixed-flow pump. Validation of the numerical results is performed through experimental data for head, power and efficiency. Three-level full factorial design is used to generate nine design points within the design space. Three-dimensional Reynoldsaveraged Navier-Stokes equations with the shear stress transport turbulence model are discretized by using finite volume approximation and solved on hexahedral grids to evaluate the efficiency as the objective function. In order to reduce pressure loss in the vane diffuser, two variables defining the straight vane length ratio and the diffusion area ratio are selected as design variables in the present optimization. As the results of the design optimization, the efficiency at the design flow coefficient is improved by 7.05% and the off-design efficiencies are also improved in comparison with the reference design.

This study investigated the relationships among Selection, Optimization, and Compensation(SOC) as strategies of life management in mid-life crisis respect to gender and age. The subjects of this study were 170 females and 182 males at the ages between 40 and 60 living in Seoul. Selection, Optimization, and Compensation(SOC) as strategies of life management were assessed by SOC-questionnaire while mid-life crisis was assessed by Mid-Life Crisis Scale. The data were analyzed using frequencies, percentiles, means, standard deviations, Cronbach's $\alpha$, two-way ANOVAS, and Pearson's correlations. Except compensation there was no significant difference in Selection and Optimization as strategies of life management as a function of gender and age. No signigicant difference was found in mid-life crisis as a function of gender and age. There were significant negative correlations among Selection, Optimization, and Compensation(SOC) as strategies of life management and mid-life crisis except the individuation.

In this study, we chose a flat die to optimize a general die geometry. The optimization was aimed at obtaining a uniform velocity distribution across the exit of the die. For the optimization, the input and output design parameters were randomly computed, and response surfaces were generated to obtain statistical data for the minimum and maximum sensitivities computed during optimization. Subsequently, object functions with constraints were numerically computed to obtain the minimum errors in the velocity difference (i.e., variable "Outp" in this study). Finally, we obtained the candidate optimized dataset. Note that the current numerical computations were simultaneously conducted for an entire extruder, i.e., screw plus die. The numerical outlet velocity distributions in the modified die geometry tended to be much more uniform than the conventional distributions in the current optimization processes for this specific flat die.

XQuery가 XML 데이터를 위한 표준 질의어로 제안되면서, XQuery를 효율적으로 처리하기 위한 연구는 새로운 연구의 주제가 되었고, 몇몇 연구자들은 XQuery 질의를 최적화하기 위한 방법을 제안하고 있다. 그러나 앞선 대부분의 연구들은 XML 데이터 관리 시스템에 특화된 최적화 규칙만을 정의하고 있을 뿐 어떠한 시스템에서도 일반적으로 사용할 수 있는 최적화 방법과는 거리가 멀다. 또한 앞선 몇몇 연구에서는 XML 스키마 또는 DTD와 같은 미리 정의된 XML데이터의 구조정보를 이용하여 최적화하는 방법을 제안하고 있다. 그러나 현재 모든 응용이 XML 데이터를 위한 구조정보를 포함하고 있지는 않은 것이 현실이다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 XQuery 질의의 특성을 파악하고 XQuery 질의 자체만을 이용한 최적화 방법들을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 XQuery질의의 특성들을 고려한 세 가지 XQuery질의를 최적화 방법을 제안한다. 첫 번째 방법은 XQuery질의에 존재하는 불필요한 표현을 제거하는 것이고, 두 번째 방법은 질의 재배치를 이용한 최적화 방법이다. 마지막으로 세 번째 방법은 XQuery가 For절에 의해서 중첩된다는 점을 고려하여 For절에 의해서 발생하는 불필요한 반복을 최소화하는 방법이다. 성능 평가를 통해 논문에서 제안한 방법들에 의해 재작성 된 질의의 처리시간은 원본 질의의 처리 시간보다 뛰어나다는 것을 알 수 있다. 또한 각 방법들은 독립적으로 수행될 수 있으므로 XQuery 엔진의 필요에 따라 개별적으로 사용이 가능하다.

A location-aware algorithm is proposed in this study to optimize the system performance of distributed systems for processing big data with low data reliability and application performance. Compared with previous algorithms, the location-aware data block placement algorithm uses data block placement and node data recovery strategies to improve data application performance and reliability. Simulation and actual cluster tests showed that the location-aware placement algorithm proposed in this study could greatly improve data reliability and shorten the application processing time of I/O interfaces in real-time.
