  • For analyzing big data, the social network is increasingly being utilized through relational data, which means the connection characteristics between entities such as people and objects. When the relational data does not exist directly, a social network can be configured by calculating relational data such as attribute similarity from attribute data of entities and using it as links. In this paper, the composition method of the social network using the attribute similarity between entities as a connection relationship, and the clustering method using subgroups for the configured social network are suggested, and the clustering effectiveness of the clustering results is evaluated. The analysis results can vary depending on the type and characteristics of the data to be analyzed, the type of attribute similarity selected, and the criterion value. In addition, the clustering effectiveness may not be consistent depending on the its evaluation method. Therefore, selections and experiments are necessary for better analysis results. Since the analysis results may be different depending on the type and characteristics of the analysis target, options for clustering, etc., there is a limitation. In addition, for performance evaluation of clustering, a study is needed to compare the method of this paper with the conventional method such as k-means.

  • The Fuzzy E-means (FCM) algorithm is a widely used clustering method that incorporates probabilitic memberships. Due to these memberships, it can be sensitive to noise data. In this paper, we propose a new fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm by incorporating the Parzen Window method to include density information of the data. Several experimental results show that our proposed density-based FCM algorithm outperforms conventional FCM especially for data with noise and it is not sensitive to initial cluster centers.

  • The analysis of eigenvalue and eigenvector is a crucial procedure for many electromagnetic computation problems. Although it is always the case in practice that only selected eigenpairs are needed, computation of eigenpair still seems to be a time-consuming task. In order to compute the eigenpair more quickly, there are two resorts: one is to select a good algorithm with care and another is to use parallelization technique to improve the speed of the computing. In this paper, one of the best eigensolver, the Davidson method, is parallelized on a cluster of workstations. We apply this scheme to a ridged waveguide design problem and obtain promising linear speedup and scalability.

  • In this paper, a robust text detection method based on edge enhanced contrasting extremal region (CER) is proposed using stroke width transform (SWT) and tensor voting. First, the edge enhanced CER extracts a number of covariant regions, which is a stable connected component from input images. Next, SWT is created by the distance map, which is used to eliminate non-text regions. Then, these candidate text regions are verified based on tensor voting, which uses the input center point in the previous step to compute curve salience values. Finally, the connected component grouping is applied to a cluster closed to characters. The proposed method is evaluated with the ICDAR2003 and ICDAR2013 text detection competition datasets and the experiment results show high accuracy compared to previous methods.

  • In this paper, preconditioning method is parallelized on fast-ethernet PC cluster. The algorithm is based on scaling the pressure terms in the momemtum equations and preconditioning the conservation equations to circumvent numerical difficulties at low Mach numbers. Parallelization is performed using a domain decomposition technique(DDT) and message passing between sub-domains are taken from the MPI library. The results are shown to have good convergence properties at all Mach number on the circular arc Bump and are capable of reasonable predicting two-dimensional turbulent flows on DCA compressor cascade.

  • This paper introduces a new methodology for multisensor data fusion. The method makes use of fuzzy techniques and possibility distribution as a fuzzy restriction which acts as an elastic constraint on the values that may be assigned to a variable. We propose a simple sensor fuzzy modeling method which can be used for cluster validity analysis. As a result, the feasibility of these multisensor data fusion modules is demonstrated by computer simulation applicable to the problem of object identification.

  • Microgrid is generally defined as cluster of small distributed generators, energy storages and loads. Through monitoring and coordinated control, microgrid can provide various benefits such as reduction of energy cost, peak shaving and power quality improvement. In design stage of microgrid, system dynamic simulation is necessary for optimizing of sizing and siting of DER(distributed energy resources). As number of the system components increases, simulation time will be longer. This problem can restrict optimal design. So we used simplified modeling on energy sources and average switching model on power converters to reduce simulation time. The effectiveness of this method is verified by applying to prototype microgrid system, which is consist of photovoltaic, wind power, diesel engine generators, battery energy storage system and loads installed in laboratory. Simulation by Matlab/Simulink and measurements on prototype microgrid show that the proposed method can reduce simulation time not sacrificing dynamic characteristics.

  • This paper proposes a distribution voltage control method when a voltage increase condition occurs due to reverse power flow from the clustered photovoltaic (PV) system. This proposed distribution voltage control is performed a by distribution-unified power flow controller (D-UPFC). D-UPFC consists of a hi-directional ac-ac converter and transformer. It does not use any energy storage component or rectifier circuit, but it directly converts ac to ac. The distribution model and D-UPFC voltage control using the ATP-EMTP program were simulated and the results show the voltage increase control in the distribution system.

  • The classical vehicle routing problem (VRP) can be extended by including customers who want to send goods to the depot. This type of VRP is called the vehicle routing problem with pickups and deliveries (VRPPD). This study proposes a novel way to solve VRPPD by introducing a two-phase heuristic routing algorithm which consists of a clustering phase and uses the geometrical center of a cluster and route establishment phase by applying a two-way search of each route after applying the TSP algorithm on each route. Experimental results show that the suggested algorithm can generate better initial solutions for more computer-intensive meta-heuristics than other existing methods such as the giant-tour-based partitioning method or the insertion-based method.
