Process mining mainly focuses on the retrieval of process models from event logs. As these discovery algorithms make assumptions, performance analyses based on these models can present a biased view. In literature, algorithm-agnostic process metrics have been introduced. Given the critical importance of resources in the light of continuous process improvement, this paper extends the process met...

Demand for efficient software is increasing day by day and object-oriented design technique became able to fulfill this demand because it is the most powerful mechanism to develop efficient software systems. It can not only help in reducing the cost but also helps in the development of high quality software systems. Software developers need appropriate metrics to develop efficient software syst...

Software product quality can be defined as the features and characteristics of the product that meet the user needs. The quality of any software can be achieved by following a well defined software process. These software process results into various metrics like Project metrics, Product metrics and Process metrics. Software quality depends on the process which is carried out to design and deve...

logistic regression (lr) was used to model urban growth between the years 1987 and 2001 in gorgan city, north east of iran. three groups of variables including economic-social, land use and biophysical variables were used in the modeling practice. using covariance of the independent variables, distance to administrative and sporting centers plus distance to cities were removed. roc (relative op...

the main objective of this paper is to find the necessary and sufficient condition of a given finslermetric to be einstein in order to classify the einstein finsler metrics on a compact manifold. the consideredeinstein finsler metric in the study describes all different kinds of einstein metrics which are pointwiseprojective to the given one. this study has resulted in the following theorem tha...

Often simple metrics are used to summarise complex patterns in stream benthic ecology, thus it is important to understand how well these metrics can explain the finer-scale underlying environmental variation often hidden by coarser-scale influences. I sampled 47 relatively pristine streams in the central North Island of New Zealand in 2007 and (1) evaluated the local-scale drivers of macroinver...

We extend earlier work on scenario reduction by relying directly on Fortet–Mourier metrics instead of using upper bounds given in terms of mass transportation problems. The importance of Fortet–Mourier metrics for quantitative stability of twostage models is reviewed and some numerical results are also provided. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Besides energy constraint, wireless sensor networks should also be able to provide bounded communication delay when they are used to support real-time applications. In this paper, a new routing metric is proposed. It takes into account both energy and delay constraints. It can be used in AODV. By mathematical analysis and simulations, we have shown the efficiency of this new routing metric.
