  • Advanced planning and scheduling (APS) refers to a manufacturing management process by which raw materials and production capacity are optimally allocated to meet demand. APS is especially well-suited to environments where simpler planning methods cannot adequately address complex trade-offs between competing priorities. However, most scheduling problems of APS in the real world face both inevitable constraints such as due date, capability, transportation cost, set up cost and available resources. In this survey paper, we address three crucial issues in APS, including basic scheduling model, job-shop scheduling (JSP), assembly line balancing (ALB) model, and integrated scheduling models for manufacturing and logistics. Several evolutionary algorithms which adapt to the problems are surveyed and proposed; some test instances based on the practical problems demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of evolutionary approaches.

  • It is the purpose of this paper to present a dialogical tuning method of the sampling period in fuzzy control systems. Last year, the authors gave a dialogical tuning technique of fuzzy control system under the fixed sampling period in this symposium. In the case where sampling period is chosen larger, the response of the control system is unsatisfactory, and in the case where the sampling period is smaller, ineffective control actions are repeated. The appropriate sampling period is chosen through the step response of the closed loop fuzzy control process. As the tuning technique depends on the controlled plant, it is necessary to estimate the rough characteristics of it. The authors propose a method to decide th appropriate sampling period, by inspecting the characteristics of the plant.

  • In this paper, reheat-fan engine is described as class of models constructed from nominal and uncertainty model for robust control. In this class of models, uncertainty model consists of structured and unstructured uncertainty, and each model is identified from nonlinear simulation using FFT and ML technique. Then, control requirements and augmented plant are specified. H$_{\infty}$ controller satisfying the control requirements is designed by using constant scaling matrix. Finally, efficacy of the H$_{\infty}$ controller is showed by computer simulation.n.

  • In this paper we discuss optimization of neural network parameters, such as inclination of the sigmoid function, the numbers of the input layer's units and the hidden layer's units, considering application to recognition of hand written Hangul. Hangul characters are composed of vowels and consonants, and basically classified to six patterns by their positions. Using these characteristics of Hangul, the pattern of a given character is determined by its peripheral distribution and the other features. After then, the vowels and the consonants are recognized by the optimized neural network. The constructed recognition system including a neural network is applied to non-learning Hangul written by some Korean people, which are the names randomly taken from Korean spiritual and cultural research institute.

  • Owing to the discover of oxide superconducting over critical temperature100K, it is being made experimentally somewhere under the possibility that there is superconducting magnet by cooling liquid nitrogen. The issues of thermal stability and quench process of Low-Tc superconductor has been studied and used application of oxide superconducting magnets. However the quench propagation property of oxide superconductor, especially experimental data about thermal behavior has not been reported yet. Therefore we measured the effect of temperature dependance of quench propagation velocity, Vq, by using the short samples made up of silver sheathed Bismuth-family (2223phase) superconducting oxide tape.

  • This research entailed the production of stereoscopic 3D (S3D) contents using 2D-to-S3D conversion for exhibition at a museum and subjective evaluation. Hybrid production combining S3D images of existing live-action videos using the 2D-to-S3D conversion technology and computer graphic ones created via stereo rendering was conducted. Design and control of the chronological analysis of the parallactic angle was conducted on the produced contents, using binocular information as well as subjective evaluations, with the intent of conducting an investigation on the characteristics of such contents from the perspectives of the producers and viewers. An investigation was also conducted on the effects of the viewing position on the impressions of the S3D images.

  • In this paper, we consider the synthesis of mixed H$_{2}$/H$_{\infty}$ controllers such that the closed-loop poles are located in a specified region in the complex plane. Using solution to a generalized Riccati equation and a change of variable technique, it is shown that this synthesis problem can be reduced to a convex optimization problem over a bounded subset of matrices. This convex programming can be further reduced to Generalized Eigenvalue Minimization Problem where Interior Point method has been recently developed to efficiently solve this problem..

  • In general, recognition of Hand written characters requires to apply an algorithm which takes into consideration of the individual differences. Considering the differences, the authors propose a new method for recognizing Hand written Hangul by parallel procedure analyzing both the segments and the structure of the character. In the previous recognition method proposed by the authors two severe restrictions were placed. The element representing consonant/O/ was closed, and the character elements were separated each other. In order to remove these two restrictions, the authors propose an improved algorithm. It is shown that Hangul in its simplified form is well recognized by using this improved algorithm.

  • Mixed H$_{2}$/H$_{\infty}$ robust control synthesis is considered for finite dimensional linear time-invariant systems under the presence of diagonal structured uncertainties. Such uncertainties arise for instance when there is real perturbation in the nominal model of the state space system or when modeling multiple (unstructured) uncertainty at different locations in the feedback loop. This synthesis problem is reduced to convex optimization problem over a bounded subset of matrices as well as diagonal matrix having certain structure. For computational purpose, this convex optimization problem is further reduced into Generalized Eigenvalue Minimization Problem where a powerful algorithm based on interior point method has been recently developed..

  • Identification of a process in closed-loop control system is an important problem in practice. This paper deals with parameter estimation using input-output data of the process operating in a closed-loop system. It is necessary to determine orders and delay-time to get consistent estimators by least square method for input-output data collected from the process. The authors considered a problem to determine delay-time in the condition that orders were known, in last KACC. So we extend the range to determine orders and delay-time in this paper.
