This paper aim...

Learning to Measure or Measuring to Learn?

Increasingly, however, the focus has shifted away from defining ever more metrics and subjecting measurement results to increasingly sophisticated statistical analyses to an emphasis of understanding software phenomena. This has led to more case studies, empirical work like field studies, as well as experiments. This emphasis can be clearly seen in this year's METRICS program. With this, the me...

Measuring the Information and Character of a Fuzzy Measure

We discuss the use of the fuzzy measure for representing information about uncertain variables. We describe the relationship between the fuzzy measure and the Dempster-Shafer belief structure. A method for generating the fuzzy measures associated with a D-S belief structure is described. We discuss the use of the Shapley index as a means for providing an entropy for fuzzy measures. We introduce...

Vulnerability Measure of a Network - a Survey

In this paper we discuss about tenacity and its properties in stability calculation. We indicate relationships between tenacity and connectivity, tenacity and binding number, tenacity and toughness. We also give good lower and upper bounds for tenacity. Since we are primarily interested in the case where disruption of the graph is caused by the removal of a vertex or vertices (and the resulting...
