In a classical clustering problem, grouping is done on the basis of similarities or distances (dissimilarities) among the elements. Therefore, the objective is to minimize the variance within each group while maximizing the between-group variance among all groups. In this paper, however, a new class of clustering problem is introduced. We call this a laydown grouping problem (LGP). In LGP, the objective is to minimize both the within-group and between-group variances. Furthermore, the problem is expanded to a multi-dimensional case where the two-way minimization process must be considered for each dimension simultaneously for all measurement characteristics. At first, the problem is assessed by analyzing its variance structures and their complexities by conjecturing that LGP is NP-complete. Then, the simulated annealing (SA) algorithm is applied and the results are compared against that from others.

In this paper, we consider the Location-Routing Problem with simultaneous pickup and delivery (LRPSPD) which is a general case of the location-routing problem. The LRPSPD is defined as finding locations of the depots and designing vehicle routes in such a way that pickup and delivery demands of each customer must be performed with same vehicle and the overall cost is minimized. Since the LRPSPD is an NP-hard problem, we propose a hybrid heuristic approach based on genetic algorithms (GA) and simulated annealing (SA) to solve the problem. To evaluate the performance of the proposed approach, we conduct an experimental study and compare its results with those obtained by a branch-and-cut algorithm on a set of instances derived from the literature. Computational results indicate that the proposed hybrid algorithm is able to find optimal or very good quality solutions in a reasonable computation time.

The nesting of two-dimensional patterns onto a given raw sheet has applications in a number industries. It is a common problem often faced by designers in the shipbuilding, garment making, blanking die design, glass and wood industries. This paper presents a multi-stage layout approach for nesting two-dimensional patterns by using artificial intelligence techniques with a relatively short computation time. The raw material with irregular boundaries and internal defects which must be considered in various cases of nesting was also investigated in this study. The proposed nesting approach consists of two stages : initial layout stage and layout improvement stage. The initial layout configuration is achieved by the self-organizing assisted layout(SOAL) algorithm while in the layout improvement stage, the simulated annealing(SA) is adopted for a finer optimization.

Flow shop scheduling problem involves processing several jobs on common facilities where a setup time Is incurred whenever there is a switch of jobs. Practical aspect of scheduling focuses on finding a near-optimum solution within a feasible time rather than striving for a global optimum. In this paper, a hybrid meta-heuristic method called tabu-genetic algorithm(TGA) is suggested, which combines the genetic algorithm(GA) with tabu list. The experiment shows that the proposed TGA can reach the optimum solution with higher probability than GA or SA(Simulated Annealing) in less time than TS(Tabu Search). It also shows that consideration of setup time becomes more important as the ratio of setup time to processing time increases.

This study is concerned with suggesting a new clustering algorithm to evaluate the value of papers which were supported by research grants by Korea Research Fund (KRF). The algorithm is based on an extended version of a conventional PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) mechanism. In other words, the proposed algorithm is based on integration of k-means algorithm and simulated annealing mechanism, named KASA-PSO. To evaluate the robustness of KASA-PSO, its clustering results are evaluated by research grants experts working at KRF. Empirical results revealed that the proposed KASA-PSO clustering method shows improved results than conventional clustering method.

In the printer and the facsimile communication, digital halftoning is extremely important technologies. Error diffusion method is applied easy for color image halftoning. But the problem in error diffusion method is that a quite unrelated color has been generated though it is necessary to express the area of the grayscale in the black and white when the image that there is an area of the grayscale on a part of the color image is processed. The halftoning was assumed to be a combinational optimization problem to solve this problem, and the method of using SA (Simulated Annealing) was proposed. However, new problem existed because the processing time was a great amount compared with error diffusion method. Then, we propose the new error diffusion method.

This paper deals with a centralized warehouse problem with multi-item and capacity constraint. The objective of this paper is to decide the number and location of centralized warehouses and determineorder quantity (Q), reorder point (r) of each centralized warehouse to minimize holding, setup, penalty, and transportation costs. Each centralized warehouse uses continuous review inventory policy and its budget is limited. A SA (Simulated Annealing) approach is developed and its performance is tested by using some computational experiments.

최적 노심장전모형을 찾기 위한 확률론적 방법중 하나인 Simulated Annealing 방법은 기존 결정론적 방법의 단점인 국부 최적해에 빠질 위험성을 줄이면서도 빠른 시간 안에 최적 노심장전 모형을 찾을 수 있다. 그러나 많은 장전모형의 핵특성을 계산하기 위해서는 많은 전산시간이 소요되기 때문에 이의 해결 방법으로 신경망이론 이용한 노심해석을 통하여 시간을 극소화하고, 기존의 섭동이론 등 가속화된 방법에 비해 정확도를 높였다. 영광 3호기 평형노심에 적용한 결과 기존 설계된 장전모형에 비하에 더 보수적인 제한치를 만족하면서도 주기길이가 33EFPD 만큼 길어지는 장전모형을 1시간 이내에 찾을 수 있어 기존의 결정론적 방법이나 다른 핵특성 계산 모델을 사용한 SA법에 비해 더 적은 전산시간 동안 정확한 최적해를 탐색하는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper discusses on application of meta-heuristic algorithms such as the genetic algorithm (GA) and the simulated annealing (SA) to the LSI module placement. We propose useful crossover method for improving of searching capability in genetic algorithm. By using our proposed crossover method, we have been able to keep good schemata in the chromosome and the variety of the solution. From the experimental results, we have obtained better result than the simulated annealing method by starting from the initial placement of the min-cut method.

단지 조성을 위한 토공사는 대상 부지의 지형고를 계획고와 맞추기 위한 대규모 토량이동으로 이루어지는 공사로 전체 공사비에 20~30%를 차지하는 중요한 공정이다. 한편 토공사는 주로 적재-운반-하차-복귀의 단순 작업사이클로 구성되어 있어 계획의 품질은 공기와 비용에 매우 큰 영향을 끼친다. 본 연구에서는 대규모 단지 조성 공사에서 토공 운반거리를 최소화할 수 있는 토량구획 모델을 제시하였다. 본 모델은 구획 알고리즘과 simulated Annealing 알고리즘에 기반하고 있으며, 이러한 알고리즘은 국부해에 빠질 수 있는 현행 토공구획 방법을 개선하기 위하여 도입되었다. 제시된 모델의 적용성을 평가하기 위하여 실제 단지공사 토량이동도를 대상으로 시뮬레이션을 실시한 결과 약 14%의 개선효과를 확인하였다.
