This paper gives an overview and examples of various approaches to system simulation in buildings. Advantages and disadvantages of the different methods with respect to problems commonly encountered in building performance evaluation are described. Merits and drawbacks of the various methods and approaches are illustrated by case study material. Finally some conclusions and directions for futur...

The combination of sources of evidence with reliability has been widely studied within the framework of Dempster-Shafer theory (DST), which has been employed as a major method for integrating multiple sources of evidence with uncertainty. By the fact that sources of evidence may also be different in importance, for example in multi-attribute decision making (MADM), we propose the importance dis...

In this document, we present general concepts about FFSs, and implementations example that are JFFS2, YAFFS2 and UBIFS, the most commonly used flash file systems. Then we give performance evaluation results for these FFSs.

despite the fact that most of the organizations have understood the importance of knowledge management and they have tried to implement that by some projects through their organizations but unfortunately many of this projects have not had high performance. so, one of the concerns of organizations is the continuous evaluation of knowledge management system performance. in fact performance evalua...

System development efforts depend to a large degree upon how well information systems (IS) managers, IS specialists, and IS users work together in a project team structure. Yet, these individuals frequently work under different perceptions about matters of importance to development, management, and success. This paper introduces a framework for examining IS specialists’ skill requirements from ...

This paper is about performance evaluation in facilities management. It identifies the Balanced Scorecard as a widely used management framework for optimal measurement of organisational performance, discusses the fundamental points to cover in its implementation and describes the application which translates an organisation’s mission and strategy into a comprehensive set of performance measures...
