Existing visualization design and evaluation frameworks rest on a distinction between the designer and the user. However, there is little explicit guidance on design, analysis and evaluation when the designer is the user. A simple solution to this problem is for the researcher (who combines the designer and user roles) to be clear about which activity they are conducting at which point in time....

In this paper previous cost-benefit type of evaluation studies, theories and frameworks are widely reviewed. Different frameworks and theories of information systems science, health economics and medical informatics have been mixed and brought into area of medical information systems science where they have been lacking. The objective of this study is to clarify the rationale behind analysing t...

Mobile learning has become increasingly popular in the past decade due to the unprecedented technological affordances achieved through the advancement of mobile computing, which makes ubiquitous and situated learning possible. At the same time, there have been research and implementation projects whose efforts centered on developing mobile learning experiences for various learners’ profiles, ac...

This issue of Prehospital and Disaster Medicine contains the second series of special reports on the Framework for disaster research and evaluation. This series of papers represents work done by Birnbaum, Daily, O’Rourke, and Loretti to define and illustrate guidelines for the study of disaster events. The Framework papers are published with the realization that there are other researchers and ...

Given the plethora of frameworks and models available in this area, not all could be evaluated here. This paper takes seven popular frameworks and examines aspects of IT evaluation with particular emphasis on Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs). The frameworks were selected from the most well known of IT evaluation research including Delone and McLean, 1992, Seddon et.al. 1999, Farbey et.al, 199...

In any evaluation system of medical trainees there is an underlying set of assumptions about what is to be evaluated (i.e., which goals reflect the values of the system or institution), what kind of observations or assessments are useful to allow judgments 1 ; and how these are to be analyzed and compared to a standard of what is to be achieved by the learner. These assumptions can be conventio...

In the area of parser evaluation, formats like GR and SD which are based on dependencies, the simplest representation of syntactic information, are proposed as framework-independent metrics for parser evaluation. The assumption behind these proposals is that the simplicity of dependencies would make conversion from syntactic structures and semantic representations used in other formalisms to GR...

This paper reports on activities carried out under the European project PF-STAR and within the CSTAR consortium, which aim at evaluating speech translation technologies. In PFSTAR, speech translation baselines developed by the partners and off-the-shelf commercial systems will be compared systematically on several language pairs and application scenarios. In CSTAR, evaluation campaigns will be ...
