Today there are many techniques for web service compositions. Evaluation of quality parameters has great impact on evaluation of final product. BPEL is one of those techniques that several researches have been done on its evaluation. However, there are few researches on evaluation of QoS in eflow. This research tries to evaluate performance and reliability of eflow and BPEL through mapping them...

Diagnostic testing has long been valued by language testing researchers and practitioners for its ability to inform both teaching and learning. However, the number of well-developed diagnostic language tests is relatively low, most likely due to the difficulty in constructing a diagnostic test that incorporates a wide enough range of language skills. In recent years, the advancement of technolo...

Abstract The multidimensionality of the bilingual experience makes investigation bilingualism fascinating but also challenging. Although literature distinguishes several aspects bilingualism, measurement methods and relationships between these have not been clearly established. In a group 171 relatively young Polish–English bilinguals living in their first-language environment, this study inves...

The creations of models are essential for many knowledge disciplines to explain expected results. Modelling concept is well accepted in software engineering discipline. However, there is still a lacking integration of software process modelling and software process measurement by software engineers. This paper aims to portray the idea and result of integrating measurement in software process mo...

Measurements is the cornerstone of science. Measurement instruments (e.g., questionnaires, observational methods, and assessment of physiological parameters) are used to gather data: these data are used to test hypotheses (deductive approach) or to generate new hypotheses (inductive approach). In both approaches, a high-quality measurement instrument is an essential requirement for good science...

UML models have been successfully used to support COSMIC-based functional size measurement. UML-based measurement is of great interest for industry, because of the popularity of the language. However, industry needs well defined, easy to learn and apply methods. It is therefore necessary to provide measurement procedures that are well defined, that require relatively little effort and that are ...

objectives due to the lack of a standard tool for assessing patients’ capacity to consent to medical treatment in iran, the present study was carried out aiming to devise a persian version of a cross-cultural adaptation of the macarthur competence assessment tool. conclusions in the present study, we are able to focus on and prove the efficacy and benefits of this measurement tool. results the ...

This report presents enhancements to STRUCTVIEW, a vehicle-based system for the measurement of roadway structure profiles. This second-generation system uses a scanning laser rangefinder to measure various structure and roadway features from a vehicle traveling at highway speed. Measurement capabilities include horizontal and vertical clearances, which can be used to support issuing permits bas...

Measurement data provides a precise and detailed description of components within a complex system but it is rarely used directly as a component of a system model. In this paper we introduce a model-based representation of measurement data and use it together with modeller-defined components expressed in the CARMA modelling language. We assess both liveness and safety properties of these models...

A Multi Agent System is described, capable of monitoring a telecommunication industrial test & measurement setup, designed as an application of the DALI agent language. The autonomy of the MAS is necessary to supervise the measurement apparatus during off-work time without human intervention, increasing the quality and efficacy of the overall test procedure. The MAS can decide whether to recove...
