It is inadequate to just assure the functional requirements. Quality of service (QoS) must also be satisfied. An important challenge for developing efficient Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is to maintain the QoS attributes because of compositional and dynamical environment of SOA. It is significant to scrutinize how quality attributes are supported by SOA. However, implementation of SOA pr...

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between local government services and the overall satisfaction of users with the e–recruitment website (e–job website) in Taiwan. A two–dimensional mean value matrix (TDMVM) technique was used to explore the identification, classification, and application of website service quality. The results show that the asymmetrical relationship betw...

We review the definition of evolvability as it appears on the literature. In particular, the concept of software evolvability is compared with other system quality attributes, such as adaptability, maintainability and modifiability.

This paper incorporates a rich set of physical water quality attributes, as well as site and household characteristics, into a model of recreational lake usage in Iowa. Our analysis shows individuals are responsive to physical water quality measures. Willingness-to-pay estimates are reported based on improvements in these measures.

Image quality assessment is a difficult and complex task. Quality attributes have been used in the evaluation of perceived image quality in an attempt to reduce the complexity and the dimensionality. Recently, Pedersen et al. (CIC, 2009) proposed a set of quality attributes for the evaluation of color prints. In this paper we perform an experimental validation of these quality attributes to ens...

This article presents a filter-wrapper based feature ranking technique that is able to learn and rank quality attributes according to new cases of software quality assessment data. The proposed feature ranking technique consists of a scoring method named Most Priority of Feature (MPF) and a learning algorithm to learn the software quality attribute weights. The existing ranking techniques do no...

Evaluation of perceived image quality in color prints is a complex task, due to its subjectivity and dimensionality. Perceived image quality is influenced by a number of quality attributes. Evaluation of all attributes influence, and their influence on other attributes, is is a difficult and complex task. Because of this the most important attributes should be identified in order to achieve a m...

Software quality is an important issue in the development of successful software application. Many methods have been applied to improve the software quality. Refactoring is one of those methods. But, the effect of refactoring in general on all the software quality attributes is ambiguous. The goal of this paper is to find out the effect of various refactoring methods on quality attributes and t...
