On line quality evaluation is an important domain particularly in the complex processes where the characteristic of the product quality is difficult to measure directly. Evaluation based modelling techniques can be considered as an alternative to solve such complex problem. We consider in this work a contribution for product quality evaluation in hot rolling using fuzzy models. Residual changes...

This paper describes the status and technical progress of the INCITS W1.1 Text and Line Quality ad hoc team. The team has defined the scope of the work and developed several perceptual sub-attributes which comprise the Text Quality and Line Quality attributes, together with preliminary drafts of test patterns suitable for their quantification.

Software Product Line Methods (SPLMs) have been continuously gaining attention, especially in practice, for on one hand, they address diverse market needs while controlling costs by planned systematic reuse in core assets development (domain engineering), and on another hand, they reduce products’ time-to-market, achieving a certain level of agility in product development (application engineeri...

This paper presents the experience and insights gained from developing and applying methodologies for quick quality checks (QQC) of third party language resources based on the existing methodologies for full validation, which were documented in validation manuals under contract for ELRA during 2003-2004. The types of resources are Spoken Language Resources (SLR) and Written Language Resources (...

The need to rapidly deliver high quality software that meets the changing needs of stakeholders has driven the definition of methods, including Agile and Software Product Line approaches. Although many of the goals of such approaches are similar, they appear to differ significantly in principles and practices. The purpose of this work is to compare Agile and Software Product line approaches fro...

A method is explored to assess the quality of road network data based on image information in a reliable and accurate way. Therefore, the quality of the image information resulting from a ridge extraction procedure is characterized in terms of detection rate. The optimal parameter set for the ridge extraction is predicted based on typical road samples extracted from the image, resulting in an o...

the need for high-quality medical equipment in the hospital supply chain has more than ever demonstrated the necessity and importance of quality management to be implemented by administrators in line with the iranian health reform plan. in this study, the game theory was used to model the strategies chosen by companies supplying medical equipment to hospitals. considering the process of self-le...
