This paper presents a "window-zoom-out" optimization strategy with relatively fewer sampling data. In this method, an optimal Latin hypercube sampling experiment based on multi-objective Pareto optimization is developed to obtain the sampling data. The response surface method with multiquadric radial basis function combined with (1+$\lambda$) evolution strategy is used to find the global optimal point. The proposed method is verified with numerical experiments.

An adaptive response surface method with Latin Hypercube sampling strategy is employed to optimize a magnet pole shape of large scale BLDC motor to minimize the cogging torque. The proposed algorithm consists of the multi-objective Pareto optimization and (1+${\lambda}$) evolution strategy to find the global optimal points with relatively fewer sampling data. In the adaptive RSM, an adaptive sampling point insertion method is developed utilizing the design sensitivities computed by using finite element method to get a reasonable response surface with a relatively small number of sampling points. The developed algorithm is applied to the shape optimization of PM poles for 6 MW BLDC motor, and the cogging torque is reduced to 19% of the initial one.

This paper presents a response surface method(RSM) with Latin Hypercube Sampling strategy, which is employed to optimize a magnet pole shape of large scale BLDC motor to minimize the cogging torque. The proposed LHS algorithm consists of the multi-objective Pareto optimization and (1+1) evolution strategy. The algorithm is compared with the uniform sampling point method in view points of computing time and convergence. In order to verify the developed algorithm, a 6 MW BLDC motor is simulated with 4 design parameters (arc length and 3 variables for magnet) and 4 constraints for minimizing of the cogging torque. The optimization procedure has two stages; the fist is to optimize the arc length of the PM and the second is to optimize the magnet pole shape by using the proposed hybrid algorithm. At the 3rd iteration, an optimal point is obtained, and the cogging torque of the optimized shape is converged to about 14% of the initial one. It means that 3 iterations aregood enough to obtain the optimal design parameters in the program.

본 논문에서는 다중 안테나를 사용하는 두 개의 송신단이 각각 하나의 안테나를 가지고 있는 수신단을 서비스 할때 구성되는 두 유저 간섭 채널에서 불완전한 채널 정보를 사용하는 송신단들의 빔포밍 게임을 고려한다. 빔포밍 게임에서는 송신단(i.e., 플레이어)이 자신들의 전송률(i.e., 보상)을 높이기 위해서 경쟁을 하고, 빔포밍 기법을 위해서는 완전한 채널 상황에서 최적이라고 알려진 maximum ratio transmission (MRT) 기법과 zero forcing (ZF) 빔포밍 기법을 선형으로 결합하는 기법(i.e., 전략)을 사용한다. 우리가 제안하는 게임에서는 송신단이 불완전한 채널 정보를 사용하므로, 최적의 전략을 찾더라도 그 전략이 유효하지 않을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 불완전한 채널 정보로부터 양자화 오차의 영향을 고려한 송신단의 효율적인 빔포밍 전략을 제안한다.

In this paper, finite element (FE) model updating based on multi-objective optimization with the surrogate model for a steel plate girder bridge is investigated. Conventionally, FE model updating for bridge structures uses single-objective optimization with finite element analysis (FEA). In the case of the conventional method, computational burden occurs considerably because a lot of iteration are performed during the updating process. This issue can be addressed by replacing FEA with the surrogate model. The other problem is that the updating result from single-objective optimization depends on the condition of the weighting factors. Previous studies have used the trial-and-error strategy, genetic algorithm, or user's preference to obtain the most preferred model; but it needs considerable computation cost. In this study, the FE model updating method consisting of the surrogate model and multi-objective optimization, which can construct the Pareto-optimal front through a single run without considering the weighting factors, is proposed to overcome the limitations of the single-objective optimization. To verify the proposed method, the results of the proposed method are compared with those of the single-objective optimization. The comparison shows that the updated model from the multi-objective optimization is superior to the result of single-objective optimization in calculation time as well as the relative errors between the updated model and measurement.

Shape optimization of tall buildings is an efficient approach to mitigate wind-induced effects. Several studies have demonstrated the potential of shape modifications to improve the building's aerodynamic properties. On the other hand, it is well-known that the cross-section geometry has a direct impact in the floor area availability and subsequently in the building's profitability. Hence, it is of interest for the designers to find the balance between these two design criteria that may require contradictory design strategies. This study proposes a surrogate-based multi-objective optimization framework to tackle this design problem. Closed-form equations provided by the Eurocode are used to obtain the wind-induced responses for several wind directions, seeking to develop an industry-oriented approach. CFD-based surrogates emulate the aerodynamic response of the building cross-section, using as input parameters the cross-section geometry and the wind angle of attack. The definition of the building's modified plan shapes is done adopting the reduced basis approach, advancing the current strategies currently adopted in aerodynamic optimization of civil engineering structures. The multi-objective optimization problem is solved with both the classical weighted Sum Method and the Weighted Min-Max approach, which enables obtaining the complete Pareto front in both convex and non-convex regions. Two application examples are presented in this study to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed strategy, which permits the identification of Pareto optima from which the designer can choose the most adequate design balancing profitability and occupant comfort.

This study was empirically performed to demonstrate the development propensity and quality of the public software projects in Korea. Tile sample employed in this study contains 168 auditing reports on 107 public software projects which were carried out in the period of 1998 to 2003. The important findings of this study can be summarized as follows. The quality issue in the development process is getting more important with the lapse of time. In addition, the importance of end users' conveniency increases from year to year. Although the Pareto Principle(20 : 80 principle) is not applied strictly, most problems are caused by a few items. Finally, we find evidence that the overall Quality of public softwares is positively influenced by the information system auditing.

This paper presents a process plan selection model with multiple objectives. The process plans for all parts should be selected under multiple objective environment as follows: (1) minimizing the sum of machine processing and material handling time of all the parts considering realistic shop factors such as production volume, processing time, machine capacity, and capacity of transfer device. (2) balancing the load between machines. A multiple objective mathematical model is proposed and an evolutionary algorithm with the adaptive recombination strategy is developed to solve the model. To illustrate the efficiency of proposed approach, numerical examples are presented. The proposed approach is found to be effective in offering a set of satisfactory Pareto solutions within a satisfactory CPU time in a multiple objective environment.

A primary concern of physical database design has been efficient retrieval and update of a record because predictable performance of a DBMS is indispensable to time-critical missions. To maintain such phenomenal performance, database manages often spends more than or as much as the goal of an organization can warrant. The motivation of this research stems from the fact that even predictable performance of a physical database can be hampered by stochastic query processing time, physical configurations of a database, and random arrival processes of queries. They all together affect the overall performance of a DBMS. In particular, if there are queuing delays due to limited capacity or during on-peak congestion, this paper suggest to prioritize database services. A surprising finding of this paper is that such a transition from a non-priority system to a corresponding priority-based system can be Pareto-improving in the sense that no users in the system will be worse off after the transition. Thus prioritizing database services can be a viable option for efficient database management.
