Metrics for Transparency

چکیده
Transparency is a novel non-functional requirement for software systems. It is acclaimed to improve the quality of service since it gives users access to information concerning the system’s processes, clarifying who is responsible if something goes wrong. Thus, it is believed to support people’s right to a secure and private processing of their personal data. We define eight quality metrics for transparency and we demonstrate the usage and the effectiveness of the metrics by assessing transparency on the Microsoft HealthVault, an on-line platform for users to collect, store, and share medical records.

Object Oriented Metrics: Precision Tools and Configurable Visualisations
Software metrics are a valuable tool in helping software engineers to develop large, complex software systems. However, it is vital that transparency and precision are maintained at all stages. We contend that without grammars we cannot define metrics rigorously, without transparent and powerful parsing tools we cannot collect data accurately and without flexible configurable visualisation we c...
متن کاملFeedforward, -backward, and neutral transparency measures for Grade 1 and Grade 2 Greek readers.
In the present study, orthographic metrics for Greek children's Grade 1 and Grade 2 reading materials were presented. Data for five transparency metrics--three of which being neither feedforward nor feedbackward--were presented and offered for use in the research of children's reading and spelling acquisition. The analysis demonstrated the complex relationships between metrics and compared the ...
متن کاملMeasuring orthographic transparency and morphological-syllabic complexity in alphabetic orthographies: a narrative review
This narrative review discusses quantitative indices measuring differences between alphabetic languages that are related to the process of word recognition. The specific orthography that a child is acquiring has been identified as a central element influencing reading acquisition and dyslexia. However, the development of reliable metrics to measure differences between language scripts hasn't re...
متن کاملStatistical Analysis of Watermarking Transparency through Image Quality Metrics
In this paper, we propose a new statistical approach to investigate the performance of some objective quality metrics used in the literature in order to determine the most suitable quality metric for watermark transparency evaluation. To this end, we have defined a new procedure based on the ANOVA (ANalysis Of VAriance) tests and the subjective performance evaluation. Firstly, a set of selected...
متن کاملComplexity metrics for Petri net based logic control algorithms
—In the area of automatic control more and more tasks formerly solved by special hardware are performed by software. Hence to talk about quality in automation, there is a need to measure the quality of a software product. Software Quality is a field of mayor interest for researchers and practitioners today. However in the area of Control Engineering it is rarely studied. In previous publication...
