본 논문에서 GOSST(Grade of Services Steiner Minimum Tree) 문제에 대한 개선된 휴리스틱을 제안한다. GOSST 문제는 스타이너 포인트 문제의 한 변형으로 G-Condition을 만족하는 최소비용의 네트워크 구성을 찾는 문제이며, NP-Hard 혹은 NP-Complete 문제로 알려져 있다. 이 문제에 대한 이전의 연구에서 우리는 거리 우선 최소 신장 트리 생성방법과 직접 스타이너 포인트 배치 방법을 결합한 휴리스틱을 제안했었다. 본 논문에서는 스타이너 포인트 배치 방법으로 지그재그 스타이너 포인트 배치방법을 새롭게 제안한다. 이 방법과 거리우선 최소 신장 트리 생성 방법을 결합한 거리 지그재그 GOSST 휴리스틱은 컨트롤인 G-MST에 비해 31.5%의 네트워크 구축 비용의 절감을 얻었고 이전의 가장 좋은 GOSST 휴리스틱인 거리 직접 GOSST 휴리스틱에 비해 2.2%의 비용 개선을 보였다.

Accurate locating for the mobile target remains a challenge in various applications of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Unfortunately, most of the typical localization algorithms perform well only in the WSN with densely distributed sensor nodes. The non-localizable problem is prone to happening when a target moves into the WSN with sparsely distributed sensor nodes. To solve this problem, we propose a collaborative and predictive localization algorithm (CPLA). The Gaussian mixture model (GMM) is introduced to predict the posterior trajectory for a mobile target by training its prior trajectory. In addition, the collaborative and predictive schemes are designed to solve the non-localizable problems in the two-anchor nodes locating, one-anchor node locating and non-anchor node locating situations. Simulation results prove that the CPLA exhibits higher localization accuracy than other tested predictive localization algorithms either in the WSN with sparsely distributed sensor nodes or in the WSN with densely distributed sensor nodes.

This study provides a heuristic algorithm to solve the locating problem of repair service centers (RSCs). To enhance the customer service level with more satisfaction and quicker responsiveness, the locating problem of RSCs has become one of the important issues in reverse supply chain management. This problem is formulated as a zero-one mixed integer programming in which an exiting distributor will be considered to be an un-capacitated repair service center for the objective of cost-minimizing. Since logistical costs are highly interrelated with the multinational location of distributors and RSCs, the fixed cost for setting a repair service center, variable cost, transportation cost, and exchange rates are considered in this study. Recognizing the selection of un-capacitated RSCs' locations is a combinatorial optimization problem and is a zero-one mixed integer programming with NP-hard complexity, we provide a heuristic algorithm named as incremental cost matrix procedure (ICMP) to simplify the solving procedure. By using the concise and structural cost matrix, ICMP can efficiently screen the potential location with cost advantage and effectively decide which distributor should be a RSC. Results obtained from the numerical experiments conducted in small scale problem have shown the fact that ICMP is an effective and efficient heuristic algorithm for solving the RSCs locating problem. In the future, using the extended ICMP to solve problems with larger industrial scale or problems with congestion effects caused by the variation of customer demand and the restriction of the RSC capacity is worth a further investigation.

GOSST 문제에 대한 이전 휴리스틱의 성능 개선을 위한 새로운 제안이 본 논문에서 제시된다. 이 문제는 다양한 등급의 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 통신 네트워크의 설계 등에 적용될 수 있다. GOSST 문제는 G-Condition을 만족하는 최소 구축비용의 네트워크를 찾는 것으로 NP-HARD 문제에 포함된다. 우리는 이전의 연구에서 이 문제와 관련된 두개의 휴리스틱을 발표하였다. 본 연구에서는 스타이너 트리 생성 시 이용되는 G-Node와 제거되는 에지의 선택 방법을 제안하고, 이를 기존의 휴리스틱에 접목한 새로운 휴리스틱을 구현한다. 실험 결과는 이 휴리스틱이 이전 것에 비해 우수함을 나타내는데, 새 지역적 배치 휴리스틱은 17%, 새 전역적 배치 휴리스틱은 14%의 네트워크 구축비용 절감비율의 증가를 보였다.

The passive direction finding cross localization method is widely adopted in passive tracking, therefore there will exist masses of false intersection points. Eliminating these false intersection points correctly and quickly is a key technique in passive localization. A new method is proposed for passive locating and tracking multi-jammer target in this paper. It not only solves the difficulty of determining the number of targets when masses of false intersection points existing, but also solves the initialization problem of elastic network. Thus this method solves the problem of multi-jammer target correlation and the elimination of static false intersection points. The method which dynamically establishes multiple hypothesis trajectory trees solves the problem of eliminating the remaining false intersection points. Simulation results show that computational burden of the method is lower, the elastic network can more quickly find all or most of the targets and have a more probability of locking the real targets. This method can eliminate more false intersection points.

RTLS(Real Time Locating System)은 사람이나 사물의 위치를 실시간으로 추적하는 시스템이다. 이 시스템에서는 RTLS 리더가 태그와 무선 통신으로 시간이나 거리 등을 측정하고, 위치 엔진은 이를 이용하여 태그의 위치를 추정한다. 하지만 사물을 위치를 추정하는 데 있어 비가시성에 따른 측정 오류는 성능에 심각한 영향용 미친다. 비자시성은 측위 시스템을 실제 환경에 적용하기 위해 반드시 일어나는 요소이며, 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 거리를 역추적하여 알맞은 리더를 찾아내는 선택법을 이용한 새로운 측위 시스템을 제안한다. 제안한 기법을 실제 구현하여 실험한 결과 기존 기법에 비해 50% 이상 향상된 것을 알 수 있었다.

Refuse collection, one of important elements in reverse logistics, is an activity rendering recyclables or wastes and moving them to some points where further treatment is required. Among various decisions in the collection activity, we focus on network design, which is the problem of locating collection points as well as allocating refuses at demand points to collection points while satisfying the capacity restriction at each collection point. Here, the collection point is the place where recyclables or wastes near the point are gathered, and locating the collection points is done by selecting them from a given set of potential sites. The objective is to minimize the sum of fixed costs to open collection points and transportation costs to move refuses from demand points to collection points. An integer programming model is developed to represent the problem mathematically and due to the complexity of the problem, two types of heuristics, one with simultaneous and the others with separate location and allocation, are suggested. Computational experiments were done on test problems up to 500 potential sites, and the results are reported. In particular, some heuristics gave near optimal solutions for small-size test problems, i.e., 2% gaps in average from the optimal solution values.

The damage detection process may appear difficult to be implemented for truss structures because not all degrees of freedom in the numerical model can be experimentally measured. In this context, the damage locating vector (DLV) method, introduced by Bernal (2002), is a useful approach because it is effective when operating with an arbitrary number of sensors, a truncated modal basis and multiple damage scenarios, while keeping the calculation in a low level. In addition, the present paper also evaluates the noise influence on the accuracy of the DLV method. In order to verify the DLV behavior under different damages intensities and, mainly, in presence of measurement noise, a parametric study had been carried out. Different excitations as well as damage scenarios are numerically tested in a continuous Warren truss structure subjected to five noise levels with a set of limited measurement sensors. Besides this, it is proposed another way to determine the damage locating vectors in the DLV procedure. The idea is to contribute with an alternative option to solve the problem with a more widespread algebraic method. The original formulation via singular value decomposition (SVD) is replaced by a common solution of an eigenvector-eigenvalue problem. The final results show that the DLV method, enhanced with the alternative solution proposed in this paper, was able to correctly locate the damaged bars, using an output-only system identification procedure, even considering small intensities of damage and moderate noise levels.

In order to reduce the number of rehandles during the loading operation of export containers in port container terminals, the storage location of each arriving container should be determined considering of its weight. We formulate the problem by a dynamic programming model to get the optimal storage location.
