Hospital information system (HIS) evaluation frameworks have largely been discussed in the literature. However, existing frameworks lack one important aspect: to what extent user expectations of HISs are met. In this study, user expectation data are collected by means of the ’expectation questionnaire’. The internal consistencies of the answers to the questionnaire are measured by Cronbach’s al...

Some data curation, digital curation, and data management programs are developed without working definitions, interdisciplinary research agenda, underlying theoretical frameworks or perspectives, or program evaluations. This paper introduces working definitions, a conceptual framework model, a theory building strategy, assessment, and program evaluation in the development of a proposed data cur...

This paper promotes a non-repudiation system for student evaluation in an e-learning environment based on web services, AJAX frameworks and PEAR packages in order to implement XML security standards, to provide improved user experience, asynchronous data exchange and message authentication for on-line test papers. The motivation of this research is the need to arbitrate on-line evaluation for b...

In recent years there has been a noticeable shift of attention, within the graphics recognition community, towards performance evaluation of symbol recognition systems. This interest has led to the organization of several international contests and development of performance evaluation frameworks [1]. However, up to date this work has been focussed on recognition of isolated symbols. It didn’t ...

The evaluation of Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems is still an open problem demanding further research progress from the research community to establish general evaluation frameworks. In this paper we present an experimental multilevel annotation process to be followed during the testing phase of Spoken Language Dialogue Systems (SLDSs). Based on this process we address some issues rel...

PURPOSE This study evaluated the effect of span length on the adaptation of implant-supported cobalt chromium frameworks fabricated by three techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS Models with two solid abutment analogs at different inter-abutment distances were digitized using a laboratory scanner. Frameworks of two-, three-, and four-unit fixed prostheses were designed by a computer. Six dots wit...

BACKGROUND There are several frameworks that attempt to address the challenges of evaluation of health information systems by offering models, methods, and guidelines about what to evaluate, how to evaluate, and how to report the evaluation results. Model-based evaluation frameworks usually suggest universally applicable evaluation aspects but do not consider case-specific aspects. On the other...
