A manufacturing innovation overview: concepts, models and metrics

A Brief Overview of Metrics for Evaluation of Student Models

Many different metrics are used to evaluate and compare performance of student models. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of commonly used metrics, to discuss properties, advantages, and disadvantages of different metrics, and to summarize current practice in research papers. The paper should serve as a starting point for workshop discussion about the use of metrics in student mode...

Macroeconometric Models and Changes in Measurement Concepts: An Overview

This paper introduces the latest report of the Seminar on Model Comparisons, being a set of articles that describe subsequent effects on representative US macroeconometric models of the most recent benchmark revisions in the US National Income and Product Accounts. These accounts state the definitional relationships between measured macroeconomic variables. They also provide an evolving view of...

Multi-energy systems: An overview of concepts and evaluation models

Multi-energy systems (MES) whereby electricity, heat, cooling, fuels, transport, and so on optimally interact with each other at various levels (for instance, within a district, city or region) represent an important opportunity to increase technical, economic and environmental performance relative to “classical” energy systems whose sectors are treated “separately” or “independently”. This per...

Manufacturing Innovation and Horizon 2020

A current trend in crisis-laden Europe is de-industrialisation. The European Union has launched ambitious policies and proposed a new research and innovation framework programme, Horizon 2020, to counter this trend and to foster innovation in manufacturing. The paper highlights the key issues related to this upcoming programme. R&D and innovation efforts, however, need to be underpinned by smar...
