In this paper, we address an extended hub-and-spoke transportation network design problem (EHSNP). In the existing hub location problems, the location and number of spokes, and shipments on spokes are given as input data. These may, however, be viewed as the variables according to the areas which they cover. Also, the vehicle routing in each spoke needs to be considered to estimate the network cost more correctly. The EHSNP is a problem of finding the location of hubs and spokes, and pickup/delivery routes from each spoke, while minimizing the total related transportation cost in the network. The EHSNP is an integrated problem that consists of several interrelated sub-problems. To solve EHSNP, we present an approach based on a symbiotic evolutionary algorithm (symbiotic EA), which are known as an efficient tool to solve complex integrated optimization problems. First, we propose a framework of symbiotic EA for EHSNP and its genetic elements suitable for each sub-problem. To analyze the proposed algorithm, the extensive experiments are performed with various test-bed problems. The results show that the proposed algorithm is promising in solving the EHSNP.

The distribution center location and routing problem involves interdependent decisions among facility, transportation, and inventory decisions. The design of distribution system affects the customers' purchase decision by sets the level of customer service to be offered. Thus the lower product availability may cause a loss of demand as falls off the customers' purchase intention, and this is related to the firm's profit reduction. This study considers the product availability of the distribution centers as the measure of the demand level change of the demand points, and represents relation between customer service and demand level with linear demand function. And this study represents the distribution center location and routing to demand point in order to maximize the total profit that considers the products' sales revenue by customer service, the production cost and the distribution system related costs.

A routing protocol in mobile ad hoc networks is important, and a location based routing has attracted attention. We have proposed a method, in which plural mobile agents (MA) manage location information and construct a route and the number of MA dynamically changes depending on the network situation. However, the area where each MA manages is not always appropriate. This would increase the network load due to unnecessary split and mergence of MAs. To solve this problem, in this paper, we propose an enhanced method. In this method, the MA management area is properly determined based on distribution of nodes. From the performance evaluation, we show that the proposed method outperforms conventional methods in terms of packet delivery rate when network load is high.

기존 연구에서 에너지 소비의 효율성을 향상하기 위해 제시된 무선 센서 네트워크의 라우팅 기법은 다양하게 존재하지만 라우팅을 위해서는 자신의 위치 정보와 1 홉(hop) 거리에 인접한 주변 노드들의 위치 정보를 유지해야 한다. 그리고 BS 노드로 데이터를 전송하기 위하여 여러 노드를 경유하여 목적지까지 전송하는 다중 홉(Multi-hop) 전송 방식을 사용한다. 이러한 기법은 네트워크의 전체적인 에너지 소모와 센서 노드의 전력 소모를 발생시켜 효율적인 에너지 관리에 문제가 발생한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 센서 노드의 전파 범위와 RSSI를 이용하여 소스 노드와 거리 $d{\pm}{\alpha}$를 만족하는 BS 노드의 위치 기반 1-홉 라우팅 기법을 제안한다.

With the prevalence of multimedia applications and the potential commercial usage of Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) in group communications, Quality of Service (QoS) support became a key requirement. Recently, some researchers studied QoS multicast issues in MANETs. Most of the existing QoS multicast routing protocols are designed with flat topology and small networks in mind. In this paper, we investigate the scalability problem of these routing protocols. In particular, a Position-Based QoS Multicast Routing Protocol (PBQMRP) has been developed. PBQMRP builds a source multicast tree guided by the geographic information of the mobile nodes, which helps in achieving more efficient multicast delivery. This protocol depends on the location information of the multicast members which is obtained using a location service algorithm. A virtual backbone structure has been proposed to perform this location service with minimum overhead and this structure is utilized to provide efficient packet transmissions in a dynamic mobile Ad hoc network environment. The performance of PBQMRP is evaluated by performing both quantitative analysis and extensive simulations. The results show that the used virtual clustering is very useful in improving scalability and outperforms other clustering schemes. Compared to On-Demand Multicast Routing Protocol (ODMRP), PBQMRP achieves competing packet delivery ratio and significantly lower control overhead.

This study is focussed on optimization problems which require allocating the restricted inventory to demand points and assignment of vehicles to routes in order to deliver goods for demand sites with optimal decision. This study investigated an integrated model using three step-by-step approach based on relationship that exists between the inventory allocation and vehicle routing with restricted amount of inventory and transportations. we developed several sub-models such as; first, an inventory-allocation model, second a vehicle-routing model based on clustering and a heuristic algorithms, and last a vehicle routing scheduling model, a TSP-solver, based on genetic algorithm. Also, for each sub-models we have developed computer programs and by a sample run it was known that the proposed model to be a very acceptable model for the inventory-allocation and vehicle routing problems.

센서 네트워크에 있어서 정보 전송 노드인 근원지의 위치를 악의적 추적자로부터 보호하기 위해 길이가 긴 경로를 통해 단일 메시지를 전송하는 라우팅에서는 전달 지연이 길어지는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 전송 메시지가 사전에 주어진 경우, 근원지 위치를 보호하면서 최소 비용의 단일 경로를 이용하여 이들을 목적지로 전달하는 문제는 NP-complete 임을 보인다. 이러한 양 극단의 절충 방안이라 할 수 있는 경로 당 $\omega$개의 메시지들을 전송하도록 하여 근원지의 위치 보호 능력을 높이면서도 전달 지연을 저감시키는 라우팅 프로토콜 GSLP-$\omega$ (GPSR-based Source Location Privacy with crew size $\omega$)를 제안한다. 평가 기준으로는 목적지와의 최단 경로의 홉 수를 기준으로 정규 안전 기간(NSP: Normalized Safety Period)과 정규 전달 지연(NDL; Normalized Delivery Latency)을 고려한다. 평균 차수(degree)가 8인 노드 50,000개로 구성되는 네트워크 토폴로지 100개를 생성하여 측정한 결과 제안된 GSLP-$\omega$는 GSLP-$\omega$의 초기 버전인 GSLP와 기존의 대표적인 근원지 위치 보호 라우팅 프로토콜인 PR-SP(Phantom Routing - Single Path)보다 더 높은 안전 기간을 보였다. 전달 지연에서는 GSLP-$\omega$가 PR-SP보다 높으나 GSLP 보다는 낮은 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper, we propose a sink-location management and data-routing scheme to effectively support the mobile sink in solar-powered WSN. Battery-based wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have a limited lifetime due to their limited energy, but solar energy-based WSNs can be supplied with energy periodically and can operate forever. On the other hand, introduction of mobile sink in WSNs can solve some energy unbalance problem between sink-neighboring nodes and outer nodes which is one of the major challenges in WSNs. However, there is a problem that additional energy should be consumed to notify each sensor node of the location of the randomly moving mobile sink. In the proposed scheme, one of the nodes that harvests enough energy in each cluster are selected as the cluster head, and the location information of the mobile sink is shared only among the cluster heads, thereby reducing the location management overhead. In addition, the overhead for setting the routing path can be removed by transferring data in the opposite direction to the path where the sink-position information is transferred among the heads. Lastly, the access node is introduced to transmit data to the sink more reliably when the sink moves frequently.

In this paper, we propose a new conceptual HVRPCR(Heterogeneous Fleet Vehicle Routing Problem with Customer Restriction) model including additional restrictions that are consisted of loadage limit and possible visit number of demand post in HVRP. We propose HVRPCR algorithm using the heuristic in order to solve speedily because VRP is NP-Hard and need many solution time. The proposed model is simulated with changing demand post location, demand weight, loading and possible visit number limitation. Results of the computational experiment are provided along with some analysis like travel cost reduction rate.
