the objectives of this study were: describing the importance of designing a desirable mechanism for faculty members, teaching quality evaluation by students, an estimation of effectiveness of selected variables (gender, year of student admiltance, type of admission, and field of study) on students’ view during ranking of 34 indexes of current evaluation forms at universities and also identifyin...

Evaluation of the reliability parameters in micro-grids based on renewable energy sources is one of the main problems that are investigated in this paper. Renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy, battery as an energy storage system and fuel cell as a backup system are used to provide power to the electrical loads of the micro-grid. Loads in the micro-grid consist of interruptible...

Binary Decision Diagram (BDD) is a data structure proved to be compact in representation and efficient in manipulation of Boolean formulas. Using Binary decision diagram in network reliability analysis has already been investigated by some researchers. In this paper we show how an exact algorithm for network reliability can be improved and implemented efficiently by using CUDD - Colorado Univer...

In order to evaluate the reliability of information system with hybrid structure, a logical structure based reliability evaluation model for information systems is proposed for assessing hardware and software reliability for information system, in which the hybrid structure is used to architecture the reliability model, and the reliability value is used to quantitatively describe the reliabilit...

The evaluation of the quality of data and their use in hazard and risk assessment as a systematic approach is described. Definitions are proposed for reliability, relevance, and adequacy of data. Reliability is differentiated into four categories. Criteria relating to international testing standards for categorizing reliability are developed. A systematic documentation of evaluating reliability...
