The success of the electronic governance (EGOV) benchmarking has been limited so far. Lacking a theory to integrate existing conceptualizations has made the acquisition and sharing of knowledge produced by different benchmarking exercises difficult. In order to address this problem, this paper: 1) explains the nature of the EGOV benchmarking activity though a wellestablished theoretical framewo...

Benchmarking digital watermarking algorithms is not an easy task because different applications of digital watermarking often have very different sets of requirements and trade-offs between conflicting requirements. While there have been some general-purpose digital watermarking benchmarking systems available, they normally do not support complicated benchmarking tasks and cannot be easily reco...

Problem statement: The purpose of this study is to present a benchmarking guideline, conceptual framework and computerized mini program to assists companies achieve better performance in terms of quality, cost, delivery, supply chain and eventually increase their competitiveness in the market. The study begins with literature review on benchmarking definition, barriers and advantages from the i...

Our DNS64 benchmarking program, dns64perf++, is the world’s first standard DNS64 benchmarking tool, which complies with the compulsory requirements of RFC 8219 on benchmarking methodology for IPv6 transition technologies including DNS64. The aim of our current effort is to enable dns64perf++ for benchmarking the caching performance of DNS64 servers, which was qualified as optional by the RFC, b...

In 1998, FIG-Commission 7 launched three new working groups for the period 1998-2002. Working group 7.1 got the title “Reforming the Cadastre” and its terms of reference were (i) to create a framework for the determination of progress and effectiveness of cadastral reforms, (ii) to develop key criteria to determine the benefits of cadastral reforms, and (iii) to actualize continually the Commis...

Abstract Benchmarking incentivizes fund managers to invest a fraction of their funds’ assets in benchmark indexes, and such demand is inelastic. We construct measure inelastic stock attracts, benchmarking intensity (BMI), computed as its cumulative weight all benchmarks, weighted by following each benchmark. Exploiting the Russell 1000/2000 cutoff, we show that changes stocks’ BMIs instrument f...

Many organizations include benchmarking as a component of their performance management system. Often, a performance index is used to quantify the ability of an organizational entity to operate successfully. Benchmarking a performance index is done inappropriately when statistical methods are employed that ignore sample size effects or use aggregate performance data over a period during which ch...
