background: knowledge production and evaluation are two important functions of health research system (hrs). in this article, we aimed to reveal the correlation between evaluation of health research organizations and health knowledge production promotion. methods: a comprehensive evaluation system was developed to evaluate the academic performance of national medical science universities on an ...

The objective of this paper is to present a literature review about public policy evaluation, with specific reference to privatisation. The basic research goal still in process is to evaluate the purpose and reach of public policy objectives relating to privatisation, particularly in relation to their socio-economic outcomes at regional and community levels. In order to achieve this objective, ...

Most prior research on policies has focused on correctness. While correctness is an important issue, the adoption of policybased computing may be limited if the resulting systems are not implemented efficiently and thus perform poorly. To increase the effectiveness and adoption of policy-based computing, in this paper, we propose fast policy evaluation algorithms that can be adapted to support ...

In distributed computer systems, it is possible that the evaluation of an authorization policy may suffer unexpected failures, perhaps because a sub-policy cannot be evaluated or a sub-policy cannot be retrieved from some remote repository. Ideally, policy evaluation should be resilient to such failures and, at the very least, fail “gracefully” if no decision can be computed. We define syntax a...
