The aim of this paper is to determine the incidence of internal corporate governance on the efficiency of public transport operators. We use a stochastic analysis frontier model of a sample of 54 public road transport firms, during the period of 2000–2011. We also explain the inefficiency of public transport operators by the internal corporate governance. The stochastic frontier approach is use...

This chapter presents a new benchmarking strategy for Arabic screenbased word recognition. Firstly, we report on the creation of the new APTI (Arabic Printed Text Image) database. This database is a large-scale benchmarking of open-vocabulary, multi-font, multi-size and multi-style word recognition systems in Arabic. Such systems take as input a text image and compute as output a character stri...

The aim of this paper is to apply Goal Programming to select a site for a Fire and Emergency Service station in Sfax region in Tunisia. The decision making process involves incommensurable and conflicting objectives including proximity to industrial firms and response time. The concept of satisfaction function is utilized to explicitly introduce the Decision-Maker’s preferences in the decision-...
