  • 최근에 테스트 데이터를 자동으로 생성하는 방법에 관한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 방법들은 플래그 변수가 프로그램에 존재하는 경우에는 효과적이지 못함이 밝혀졌다. 이는 엔진 제어기와 같은 내장형 시스템들이 전형적으로 디바이스 관련 상태 정보를 기록하기 위해 플래그 변수를 많이 이용한다는 점을 고려할 때 문제가 된다. 이 논문에서는 플래그 변수가 있는 프로그램에 대하여 효과적으로 테스트 데이터를 생성할 수 있는 방법을 소개한다. 이 방법은 테스트 데이터 생성 문제를 SAT(SATisfiability) 문제로 변환하고 SAT 해결도구를 이용하여 자동으로 테스트 데이터를 생성한다. 이를 위해 프로그램을 1차 관계 논리 언어인 Alloy로 변환하고 Alloy 분석기를 통하여 테스트 데이터를 생성한다.

  • Generation Expansion Planning (GEP) is one of the most important decision-making activities in electric utilities. Least-cost GEP is to determine the minimum-cost capacity addition plan (i.e., the type and number of candidate plants) that meets forecasted demand within a pre specified reliability criterion over a planning horizon. In this paper, Differential Evolution (DE), and Opposition-based Differential Evolution (ODE) algorithms have been applied to the GEP problem. The original GEP problem has been modified by incorporating Virtual Mapping Procedure (VMP). The GEP problem of a synthetic test systems for 6-year, 14-year and 24-year planning horizons having five types of candidate units have been considered. The results have been compared with Dynamic Programming (DP) method. The ODE performs well and converges faster than DE.

  • A new approach considering CO2 air pollution constraints in the long-term generation mix is proposed under uncertain circumstances. A characteristic feature of the presented approach in this paper is what effects give the air pollution constraints in long term best generation mix. Best generation mix problem is formulated by linear programming with fuel and construction cost minimization with load growth, reliability (reserve margin rate) and air pollutionconstraints. The proposed method accommodates the operation of pumped-storage generator. It was assumed in this study that the construction planning of the hydro power plants is given separately from the other generation plans. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated by applying to the best generation mix problem of KEPCO-system, which contains nuclear, coal, LNG, oil and pumped-storage hydro plant multi-years.

  • We consider a PCB grouping problem arising from the electronic industry. Given a surface mounting device, several types of PCBs and a number of component feeders used to assemble the PCBs. the optimization problem is the PCB grouping problem while minimizing setup time of component feeders. We formulate the problem as an Integer programming model and propose a column generation approach to solve the Integer programming formulation. In this approach we decompose the original problem Into master problem and column generation subproblem Starting with a few columns in the master problem. we generate new columns successively by solving subproblem optimally. To solve the subproblem. we use a branrh-and-rut approach. Computational experiments show that our solution approach gives high quality solutions in a reasonable computing time.

  • In this paper, we develop detailed algorithms for implementing the so-called Limited Column Generation procedure for Local Access Telecommunication Network(LATN) design problem. We formulate the problem into a tree-partitioning problem with an exponential number of variables. Its linear programming relaxation has all integral vertices, and can be solved by the Limited Column Generation procedure in just n pivots, where n is the number of nodes in the network. Prior to each pivot. an entering variable is selected by detecting the Locally Most Violated(LMV) reduced cost, which can be obtained by solving a subproblem in pseudo-polynomial time. A critical step in the Limited Column Generation is to find all the LMV reduced costs. As dual variables are updated at each pivot, the reduced costs have to be computed in an on-line fashion. An efficient implementation is developed to execute such a task so that the LATN design problem can be solved in O(n$^2$H), where H is the maximum concentrator capacity. Our computational experiments indicate that our algorithm delivers an outstanding performance. For instance, the LATN design problem with n=150 and H=1000 can be solved in approximately 67 seconds on a SUN SPARC 1000 workstation.

  • This paper considers an optimal base station clustering problem for designing a mobile (wireless) communication network. For a given network with a set of nodes (base stations), the problem is to optimally partition the set of nodes into subsets (each called a cluster) such that the associated inter-cluster traffic is minimized under certain topological constraints and cluster capacity constraints. In the problem analysis, the problem is formulated as an integer programming problem. The integer programming problem is then transformed into a binary integer programming problem, for which the associated linear programming relaxation is solved in a column generation approach assisted by a branch-and-bound procedure. For the column generation, both a heuristic algorithm and a valid inequality approach are exploited. Various numerical examples are solved to evaluate the effectiveness of the LP (Linear Programming) based branch-and-bound algorithm.

  • This paper considers subway crew scheduling problem. Crew scheduling is concerned with finding a minimum number of assignments of crews to a given timetable satisfying various restrictions. Traditionally, crew scheduling problem has been formulated as a set covering or set partitioning problem possessing exponentially many variables, but even the LP relaxation of the problem is hard to solve due to the exponential number of variables. In this paper. we propose two basic techniques that solve the subway crew scheduling problem in a reasonable time, though the optimality of the solution is not guaranteed. We develop an algorithm that solves the column-generation problem in polynomial time. In addition, the integrality of the solution is accomplished by variable-fixing technique. Computational result for a real instance is reported.
