Recent years have witnessed rising interest towards integrated performance measurement and control systems. Total Quality Management (TQM) and Balanced Scorecard (BSC) are management philosophies that have been widely discussed not only in academic world, but also in business world. The aim of this paper is to compare the contents of TQM and BSC and to build a hierarchy of concepts between thes...

Total quality management (TQM) must become a part of corporate strategy if it is to become a way of life in health care. TQM should be understood in the context of a cultural transformation. The greatest challenge for top management is to create an organization in which every employee, department and function is linked inextricably to the organization's mission and vision. One of the key benefi...

Introduction To be successful in the long term, an organization must produce quality goods or services. Quality is the value of goods or service as perceived by the customer. In recognition of these realities, good managers will establish a set of quality management principles that focuses on customer satisfaction and continuous improvement in the organization’s processes. This set of principle...

Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler is an e cient and preferred style of implementing the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) on resource-rich machines. Using a JIT compiler, the bytecodes are translated to native code at runtime. In this paper, we investigate where the time is spent in such dynamic compilers and how well a smart JIT compiler can do. Next, we propose architectural mechanisms that can be used to...

The successful implementation of Total Quality Management (TQM) in the higher education (HE) system has been a highly debated and contentious subject. However, small effect TQM tools was implemented non-academic activities HE institutions. They are mainly concentrated on practices which bill payments, registration purchase activities. significant factors such as curriculum development, teaching...

JIT spraying allows an attacker to subvert a JustIn-Time compiler, introducing instruction sequences useful to the attacker into executable regions of the victim program’s address space as a side effect of compiling seemingly innocuous code in a safe language like JavaScript. We present new JIT spraying attacks against Google’s V8 and Mozilla’s SpiderMonkey JavaScript engines on ARM. The V8 att...

Just-In-Time (JIT) defect prediction aims to predict the proneness of software changes when they are initially submitted. It has become a hot topic in due its timely manner and traceability. Researchers have proposed many JIT approaches. However, these approaches cannot effectively utilise line labels representing added or removed lines ignore noise caused by defect-irrelevant files. Therefore,...

Presents the key findings of a study into quality practices of a number of organisations in one of the Arab countries, Qatar, which is recognised as one of the leading liquefied natural gas-exporting regions since its reserves of gas represent about 7.4 per cent of the world total. The purposes of the study were to assess: the awareness, the understanding, the progress of, and reasons for the i...
