The purpose of this watershed assessment is to inventory and characterize watershed conditions of the Miami River watershed and to provide recommendations that address the issues of water quality, fisheries and fish habitat, and watershed hydrology. This assessment was conducted by reviewing and synthesizing existing data sets and some new...
This study describes the software metrics analysis of IO releases of an embedded real-time telephone switching system developed by a German telecommunications firm. The micro-controlled application was written in a C-like macro assembly language. We developed a metrics program that computes the standard complexity metrics plus a number of information...
Indicators are widely used in fisheries management decision process as
measures for monitoring ecosystem status or management performance. In
the current context, the shift to an ecosystem-based approach to fisheries
management requires to complete usual population or community
indicators with indicators reflecting state and dynamics of fishing activity
as well...
Performance measurement is a process that begins with a decision on what to measure followed by identifying proper metrics and data sources. While there is substantial literature devoted to measuring the performance of hospitals and clinics in terms of indicators such as health outcomes and finances, it is vital for...
Summary: Four proposed metrics:
[1] average relative reduction in training time (sample size, number of training experiences)
[2] jumpstart (initial advantage of transfer algorithm)
[3] handicap (how long it takes the no-transfer algorithm to overcome the jumpstart)
[4] asymptotic advantage (how much better the transfer learning algorithm does in the...
As the number of mobile devices accessing large-scale WLANs such as campus
and metropolitan area networks increases, the need for load balancing among the
cells becomes crucial. In addition, the network must also support some minimum
handoff tolerance defined by an application.
A number of load balancing techniques have been...
Controlling the "complexity" or "understandability"
of computer software is important because of its impact on
program testing and maintenance. Of the large number of
complexity metrics that have been developed to measure the
complexity of a computer program, most assess the
"micro-complexity" of each subprogram and few assess the
"macro-complexity"...
