<b>Measuring task quality through technical-service support software</b>

Quality Improvement Through Multiple Response Optimization (TECHNICAL NOTE)

The performance of a product is often evaluated by several quality characteristics.  ptimizing the manufacturing process with respect to only one quality characteristic will not always lead to the optimum values for other characteristics.

Model Management for Quality of Service Support

Quality of Service (QoS) management strategies have been first introduced in distributed multimedia systems to decide whether and controlling how multimedia streams can be delivered to the user within the given delay, cost or quality constraints. With the recent advances in the development of large-scale distributed applications where different services are provided to a large number of users, ...
