The certification resource is a very special class of information resources of the government, which has huge amount of information and frequency usages of government administrative activities. With the various administrative departments’ in-depth online approval, there is an urgent demand for certificates information sharing needs, especially in interdepartmental tasks. In this paper, governme...

Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA), as a system of allocative efficiency for global health programs, is an influential criterion for resource allocation in the context of diplomacy and inherent foreign policy decisions therein. This is because such programs have diplomatic benefits and costs that can be uploaded from the recipient and affect the broader foreign policy interests of the donor and ...

Query optimization techniques are proved to be essential for high performance of database management systems. In the context of new querying paradigms, such as similarity based search, exact query evaluation is neither computationally feasible nor meaningful, and approximate query evaluation is the only reasonable option. In this paper a problem of resource allocation for approximate evaluation...

The present contribution will focus on the systematic construction of benchmarks used for the evaluation of resource planning systems. Two characteristics for assessing the complexity of the benchmarks were developed. These benchmarks were used to evaluate the resource management system GORBA and the optimization strategies for resource planning applied in this system. At first, major aspects o...

Considering water resource scarcity and uncertainty in climate and demand futures, decision-makers require techniques for sustainability analysis in resource management. Through unclear definitions of “sustainability”, however, traditional indices for resource evaluation propose options of limited flexibility by adopting static climate and demand scenarios, limiting analysis variables to a part...

LORI (learning object review instrument) is an evaluation framework designed to support collaborative critique of multimedia learning resources. In this chapter, the interactions among reviewers using LORI are framed as a form of collaborative argumentation. Research on collaborative evaluation of learning resources has found that reviewers’ quality ratings tend to converge as a result of their...

Analyzing the existing problems of the comprehensive quality of the water resource assessment, the authors put forward fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method and System. Depending on the materials, the article sets up the evaluation index system by decomposing and refining the water resource quality evaluation of the content, and then studys comprehensive evaluation model of water conservancy ta...

A key challenge for evaluators and health system planners is the identification, measurement and valuation of resource use for economic evaluation. Accurately capturing all significant resource use is particularly difficult in the Australian context where there is no comprehensive database from which researchers can draw. Evaluators and health system planners need to consider different approach...
