This paper summarizes available literature on the optimization of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. The objective of optimization (e.g. minimum cost or weight), the design variables and the constraints considered by different studies vary widely and therefore, different optimization methods have been employed to provide the optimal design of RC beams, whether as isolated structural components or as part of a structural frame. The review of literature suggests that nonlinear deterministic approaches can be efficiently employed to provide optimal design of RC beams, given the small number of variables. This paper also presents spreadsheet implementation of cost optimization of RC beams in the familiar MS Excel environment to illustrate the efficiency of the exhaustive enumeration method for such small discrete search spaces and to promote its use by engineers and researchers. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis is performed on the contribution of various design parameters to the variability of the overall cost of RC beams.

In this paper, we address a single machine non-preemptive n-job scheduling problem to minimize the sum of earliness and tardiness with different release times and due dates. To solve the problem, we propose a genetic algorithm with new crossover and mutation operators to find the job sequencing. For the proposed genetic algorithm, the optimal pair of crossover and mutation rates is investigated. To illustrate the suitability of genetic algorithm, solutions of genetic algorithm are compared with solutions of exhaustive enumeration method in small size problems and tabu search method in large size problems. Computational results demonstrate that the proposed genetic algorithm provides the near-optimal job sequencing in the real world problem.

In this paper, design procedure and estimation of the double sampling plans are developed when the production process is examined in order and if it shows the dependence between the products. If a dependent process model can be simulated, the best sampling plans can be selected by using the special properties of the probability structure. The number of actual evaluations to find the plans can be reduced remarkably. The experimental study reveals that only small portion of the total exhaustive enumeration is needed. ARMA (1,1) time series models are given as numerical examples.

In this paper we consider the problem of finding the triplet (S,${\pi}$,f), where $S{\subseteq}V$, ${\pi}$ is a sequence of nodes in S and $f:V{\backslash}S{\rightarrow}S$ for a given complete graph G=(V,E). In particular, there exist two costs, $c^V_{uv}$ and $c^D_{uv}$ for $(u,v){\in}E$, and the cost of triplet (S,${\pi}$,f) is defined as $\sum_{i=1}^{{\mid}S{\mid}}c^V_{{\pi}(i){\pi}(i+1)}+2$ ${\sum_{u{\in}V{\backslash}S}c^D_{uf(u)}$. This problem is motivated by the integrated routing of the vehicle and drone for urban delivery services. Since a well-known NP-complete TSP (Traveling Salesman Problem) is a special case of our problem, we cannot expect to have any polynomial-time algorithm unless P=NP. Furthermore, for practical purposes, we may not rely on time-exhaustive enumeration method such as branch-and-bound and branch-and-cut. This paper suggests the simple heuristic which is motivated by the MST (minimum spanning tree)-based approximation algorithm and neighborhood search heuristic for TSP.

질의실행시간최소화는 분산 데이타베이스 설계에 있어 가장 중요한 목적중의 하나이다. 총시간최소화는 온라인거래처리시스템의 목적인 반면, 반응시간최소화는 의사결정지원 질의시스템의 목적이다. 본 논문에서는 질의실행시간최소화를 달성하기 위해 질의를 세분화하여 최적의 데이터베이스 사이트에 할당하는 분석모델을 개발하였으며, 문제해결방법으로 유전자알고리즘을 채택하였다. 총시간최소화 관점에서의 질의실행 계획은 반응시간최소화 관점의 질의실행계획에는 적합하지 않다는 것을 증명하였으며, 그 반대의 경우도 증명하였다. 최대 20개의 조인이 포함되는 질의를 설계하여 시뮬레이션 실험을 통해 테스트를 수행하였고, 유전자알고리즘과 완전한 전수조사와의 결과를 비교함으로써 모든 경우에 유전자알고리즘을 채택한 해결책이 최적의 결과를 도출하였음을 증명하였다.
