background; the performance of the hse units has various dimensions leading to different performances. thus, any industry should be capable of evaluating these systems. the aim of this study was to design a standard questionnaire in the field of performance evaluation of hse management system employing balanced score card model. methods; in this study we, first determined the criteria to be eva...

Abstract This paper presents a modeling technique for performance evaluation of media access protocols based on semi-markovmodels. The proposed techniqueprovides accurate performance prediction while also preserving model flexibility. General traffic generation and resource holding time distributions are supported with this approach. The model is independent of the system size and is linearly s...

One of the biggest challenges in wireless communication systems consists in achieving flexible dual-band receivers with maximum hardware share and minimum power consumption. The key for surpassing this challenge is the feasibility and performance evaluation for the different receiver topologies at system level stage. This task has its degree of complexity, by the fact that the receiver blocks c...

We present an overview of current research in performance modeling, focusing on efforts underway in the Performance Evaluation Research Center (PERC). Using some new techniques, we are able to construct performance models that can be used to project the sustained performance of large-scale scientific programs on different systems, over a range of job and system sizes. Such models can be used by...

We report the results of an early performance evaluation of the SiCortex SC648 that contains 648 processor-cores. Performance was measured using microbenchmarks to evaluate node and network performance, and with real-world parallel scientific applications. The SiCortex machines are notable for a number of architectural innovations, including the use of a custom, very low power, six-core process...

Ishiguro(2004) shows that discriminatory wage schemes are optimal among collusion-proof contracts under relative performance evaluation when agents collude. However, that analysis depends on the assumption that the agents cannot observe their performances. We investigate how optimal contracts should be modified when the agents observe the realized firm value. We show that the optimal collusion-...

Solar water heating (SWH) systems are gaining popularity in ASEAN in the midst of increasing number of affluent population in society and environmental concerns from seemingly unchanged reliance on fossil-based fuels. The penetration of these systems and technologies into ASEAN markets is a welcome development; however there is a need for the method of assessment of their thermal performances. ...

Even though diverse digital watermarking algorithm was developed to protect copyright, existing methods vary in performances according to image characteristics. While there are simple methods suitable for black and white images like medical images, there is an algorithm which shows the performance in complicated images like general nature images. Because of these reasons, evaluation metrics to ...
