In this regard, the performance evaluation instruments of university faculty members are different. Therefore, the aim of present study was to develop and Psychometrics "Scale of Performance Evaluation Criteria for University Faculty Members". Methods: The present study is of metho...

Heuristic approach to solve hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with unrelated parallel machines

In hybrid flow shop scheduling problem (HFS) with unrelated parallel machines, a set of n jobs are processed on k machines. A mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model for the HFS scheduling problems with unrelated parallel machines has been proposed to minimize the maximum completion time (makespan). Since the problem is shown to be NP-complete, it is necessary to use heuristic methods to ...

Towards Increasing Reliability of Heuristic Evaluation

To date comparative studies have not convinced the HCI community about the reliability of results from usability evaluations. User testing of the same products by different usability teams found different problems (Molich et al., 1999). Discount methods also have the same problem. With heuristic evaluation method, for example, overlaps between evaluators’ results are often as low as 10% (Molich...
