  • 하도 홍수추적의 방법은 크게 수리학적 방법과 수문학적 방법으로 구분할 수 있다. 수리학적 홍수추적 방법은 정확하지만 대량의 자료가 필요하고 시간이 오래 걸린다. 이와 반대로 수문학적 홍수추적 방법은 정확성은 떨어지지만 소량의 자료만 있으면 되고 시간이 적게 걸린다. 여러 수문학적 홍수추적에 관한 연구들이 있으며 대표적으로 Muskingum 방법이 있다. Muskingum 방법 중 Linear Muskingum Model(LMM)은 방정식의 구조적 한계 때문에 정확한 홍수추적이 어려웠고, 이를 개선하기위하여 Nonlinear Muskingum Model(NLMM), Nonlinear Muskingum Model Incorporation Lateral Flow(NLMM-L) 및 Advanced Nonlinear Muskingum Model Incorporating Lateral Flow(ANLMM-L)이 제안되었다. 본 연구는 수문학적 홍수추적 중 Muskingum 방법의 결과 차이가 어떤 요인으로 인해 발생하는지 검토하였다. 최적화 알고리즘으로 화음탐색법(Harmony Search, HS)을 사용하였으며 LMM, NLMM, NLMM-L 및 ANLMM-L의 매개변수를 산정하였다. 각 방법에 적용 시 HS의 매개변수에 변화를 주어 민감도 분석을 실시하였으며, 분석을 위한 홍수자료는 The Willson Flood data (1947)를 선택하였다. 오차비교방법은 Sum of Squares(SSQ), Root Mean Square Errors(RMSE), Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency(NSE)를 비교하였다. 비교 결과 알고리즘의 성능에 의한 차이보다 홍수추적 방법의 차이가 더 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다.

  • The travelling salesman problem (TSP) is an important combinatorial optimization problem that is used in several engineering science branches and has drawn interest to several researchers and scientists. In this problem, a salesman from an arbitrary node, called the warehouse, starts moving and returns to the warehouse after visiting n clients, given that each client is visited only once. The objective in this problem is to find the route with the least cost to the salesman. In this study, a meta-based ant colony system algorithm (ACSA) is suggested to find solution to the TSP that does not use local pheromone update. This algorithm uses the global pheromone update and new heuristic information. Further, pheromone evaporation coefficients are used in search space of the problem as diversification. This modification allows the algorithm to escape local optimization points as much as possible. In addition, 3-opt local search is used as an intensification mechanism for more quality. The effectiveness of the suggested algorithm is assessed on a several standard problem instances. The results show the power of the suggested algorithm which could find quality solutions with a small gap, between obtained solution and optimal solution, of 1%. Additionally, the results in contrast with other algorithms show the appropriate quality of competitiveness of our proposed ACSA.

  • The application of efficient constraint handling technique is fundamental method to find better solutions in engineering optimization problems with constraints. In this research four of constraint handling techniques are used with a meta-heuristic optimization method, harmony search algorithm, and the efficiency of algorithm is evaluated. The sample problem for evaluation of effectiveness is one of the typical discrete problems, optimal pipe size design problem of water distribution system. The result shows the suggested constraint handling technique derives better solutions than classical constraint handling technique with penalty function. Especially, the case of ${\varepsilon}$-constrained method derives solutions with efficiency and stability. This technique is meaningful method for improvement of harmony search algorithm without the need for development of new algorithm. In addition, the applicability of suggested method for large scale engineering optimization problems is verified with application of constraint handling technique to big size problem has over 400 of decision variables.

  • An Exponential Bandwidth Harmony Search with Centralized Global Search (EBHS-CGS) was developed to enhance the performance of a Harmony Search (HS). EBHS-CGS added two methods to improve the performance of HS. The first method is an improvement of bandwidth (bw) that enhances the local search. This method replaces the existing bw with an exponential bw and reduces the bw value as the iteration proceeds. This form of bw allows for an accurate local search, which enables the algorithm to obtain more accurate values. The second method is to reduce the search range for an efficient global search. This method reduces the search space by considering the best decision variable in Harmony Memory (HM). This process is carried out separately from the global search of the HS by the new parameter, Centralized Global Search Rate (CGSR). The reduced search space enables an effective global search, which improves the performance of the algorithm. The proposed algorithm was applied to a representative optimization problem (math and engineering), and the results of the application were compared with the HS and better Improved Harmony Search (IHS).

  • The software defined networks implement a software network control plane, which is physically separated from the data plane. For wide area software defined network deployments, multiple controllers are required, and the placement of these controllers influences importantly the performance of the software defined networks. This paper proposes a Tabu search algorithm, which is one of the meta heuristic algorithms, for an efficient controller placement in software defined networks. In order to efficiently obtain better results, we propose new neighborhood generating operations, which are called the neighbor position move and the neighbor number move, of the Tabu search algorithm. We evaluate the performances of the proposed algorithm through some experiments in terms of the minimum latency and the execution time of the proposed algorithm. The comparison results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the existing genetic algorithm and random method under various conditions.

  • The helical pile is a manufactured steel pile consisting of one or more helix-shaped bearing plates affixed to a central shaft. This pile is installed by rotating the shaft into the ground to support structural loads. Advantages of the helical pile are no need for boring or grout process, and ability to install a pile foundation with relatively light devices. In this study, an optimized design method for helical piles is proposed to minimize the material cost with consideration of the load bearing capacity obtained by the cylindrical shear method. The harmony search meta-heuristic algorithm was adopted for optimization process. The optimized design was verified by comparing with the 2009 International building code. It is noted that the optimization for the configuration of helical piles along with material cost proves to be an out-performed tool in designing helical pile foundation with economic feasibility.

  • Cell planning, which determines the cell structure for location management of mobile terminals in mobile communications, has been dealt with as an important research task to determine network performance. Among the factors influencing the cell structure planning in mobile communication, the signal cost for location management plays the most important role. In this paper, we propose an optimization algorithm that minimizes the location management cost of all the cells used to plan the cell structure in the network with reporting cell structure in mobile communication. The proposed algorithm uses a Tabu search algorithm, which is a meta-heuristic algorithm, and the proposed algorithm proposes a new neighborhood generation method to obtain a result close to the optimal solution. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, the simulation was performed in terms of location management cost and algorithm execution time. The evaluation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the existing genetic algorithm and simulated annealing.

  • Ant Colony System is a new meta heuristics algorithms to solve hard combinatorial optimization problems. It is a population based approach that uses exploitation of positive feedback as well as greedy search. It was first proposed for tackling the well known Traveling Salesman Problem. In this paper, we propose the searching method to consider the overlapping edge of the global best path of the previous and the current. This method is that we first determine the overlapping edge of the global best path of the previous and the current will be configured likely the optimal path. And, to enhance the pheromone for the overlapping edges increases the probability that the optimal path is configured. Finally, the performance of Best and Average-Best of proposed algorithm outperforms ACS-3-opt, ACS-Subpath and ACS-Iter algorithms.

  • The differential evolution algorithm is one of the meta-heuristic techniques developed to solve the real optimization problem, which is a continuous problem space. In this study, in order to use the differential evolution algorithm to solve the traveling salesman problem, which is a discontinuous problem space, a random key representation method is applied to the differential evolution algorithm. The differential evolution algorithm searches for a real space and uses the order of the indexes of the solutions sorted in ascending order as the order of city visits to find the fitness. As a result of experimentation by applying it to the benchmark traveling salesman problems which are provided in TSPLIB, it was confirmed that the proposed differential evolution algorithm based on the random key representation method has the potential to solve the traveling salesman problems.
