To assess the performance criteria of the reinforced-concrete, five-storey residential buildings common in Iran, an experimental study in the structural laboratory of the University of Tehran has been conducted. The test program includes cyclic and monotonic load tests of six beams that represent three-to-five storey buildings with rigid frame structures. Using definitions given in FEMA-356 a...

There are many different analysis methods for evaluation of complicated socio-economic processes. Banks are important participants of the market. Soundness and stability of banks is difficult to assess because of their complicated internal business structure, intertwined cash flows and strong influence of market conditions on bank’s performance. Multi-criteria methods of evaluation are among ma...

A number of path selection criteria have been proposed throughout the years. Unfortunately, little work has been done on comparing these criteria. To determine what would be an effective path selection criterion for revealing errors in programs, we have undertaken an evaluation of these criteria. This paper reports on the results of our evaluation of path selection criteria based on data flow r...

In this paper, a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM)-method and mixed integer linear programming (MILP) approach in order to evaluation of the returned products' collectors along with their ordered quantities, is utilized. Firstly, the most important criteria of collection center in the car industry are identified. Then, in order to evaluate these proposed criteria, a hybrid Fuzzy Deci...

This paper discusses the evaluation of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems developed for practical applications, suggesting a set of criteria for application-oriented performance measures. The commonly used word error rate (WER), which poses ASR evaluation as a string editing process, is shown to have a number of limitations with respect to these criteria, motivating alternative or addit...

Strategic INtegrated Evaluation Methodology (SINEM) addresses three problems: first, the time needed to formulate strategies and identify evaluation criteria to meet objectives; second, the diversity of evaluation criteria among evaluation models which hinder a holistic perspective of evaluation and third, the need to prioritise these strategies based on the likelihood of the strategy achieving...

Due to COVID-19 barriers, the needs of international container ports have become more important than in past. Therefore, it is very critical and essential for scientific developments port-logistics. To gain port logistics, effective efficient evaluation methods decision-making are indispensable, especially assessing service performance based on dependent criteria (DEC). Among numerous methods, ...
