Preset paper aims to recognize the most important factors in creating a smart city in the city of Ahvaz. For achieving this, all criteria, which play an important role in creating smart cities, were collected using different resources based on descriptive-analytical method. At the next stage, a survey of a number of 40 urban planning experts was accomplished in Ahvaz city, which is the case stu...

This chapter gives a number of criteria that can be used for the evaluation of simulation software. According to Law and Kelton (1991), simulation software can be classified as simulation languages and simulators. However, in this study the term ‘simulation software’ is mainly used for discussing data driven simulators, and all criteria are derived and described from the perspective of this typ...

OBJECTIVES to evaluate the ability of the diagnostic criteria proposed by Cerero et al in 2010 to perform an early diagnose in patients with proliferative verrucous leukoplakia. STUDY DESIGN retrospective study with patients diagnosed with leukoplakia at Oral Medicine Service at Oral Medicine and Surgery Department at Dentistry Faculty at Universidad Complutense of Madrid. RESULTS the crite...

Most cancer patients suffering from some form of advanced or locally advanced cancer will be treated with anticancer agents to stop the natural evolution of the disease. Anticancer agents developed over the last four decades behave as cytotoxic drugs inducing tumor regression, sometimes also resulting in prolongation of survival. Historically, the direct therapeutic efficacy of such treatments ...

Qualitatively different plan generation is one aspect of planners that is useful to execution agents that operate under uncertainty, such as those in coalition operations. The purpose of this research is to improve plan construction and selection. To do so, we define the statistics that make plan evaluations most useful to planning and task assignment agents. Furthermore, we develop a method of...

New product development (NPD) is one of the most importance processes for firms to increase their profit and competitiveness. This study presents the results of a comparison study between Taiwan and Indonesia in the employment of evaluation criteria for NPD process. This study is guided by a stage-gate process to derive a structured NPD performance evaluation framework. In this study we use 20 ...

The architecture of a system is an indispensable mechanism required to map business processes to information systems. The terms architecture, layered architecture and system architecture are often used by researchers, as well as system architects and business process analysts inconsistently. Furthermore, the concept architecture is commonplace in discussions of software engineering topics such ...

Evaluation of research artefacts (such as models, frameworks and methodologies) is essential to determine their quality and demonstrate worth. However, in the IQ research domain there is no existing standard set of criteria available for researchers to use to evaluate their IQ artefacts. This paper therefore describes our experience of selecting and synthesizing a set of evaluation criteria use...

This article looks at quantitative measures of conformity degree of received and transmitted information messages, selected depending on message nature, and defines main approaches to assessment of information systems interference immunity. Author analyzed peculiarities of information receiving depending on signals purposes on stages of signal detection, sorting out of signals and message recov...

We investigate van Rijsbergen’s -measure, break-even point, and 11-point averaged precision, all of which can be translated into 1-dimensional scalar quantity from the precision and the recall. These investigations can be done by comparing to tetrachoric (four-fold) correlation coefficient and phi (four-fold point) coefficient, which are often used as the index of statistical association in a 2...
