Ontologies are key enablers for sharing precise and machine-understandable semantics among different applications and parties. Yet, for ontologies to meet these expectations, their quality must be of a good standard. The quality of an…
A measure of quality of a control system is a quantitative extension of the classical binary notion of controllability. In this article we study the quality of linear control systems from a frame-theoretic perspective. We demonstrate that…
To assess the quality of a test suite, one can rely on mutation testing, which computes whether the overall test cases are adequately exercising the covered lines. However, this high level of granularity may overshadow the quality of…
We typically construct optimal designs based on a single objective function. To better capture the breadth of an experiment's goals, we could instead construct a multiple objective optimal design based on multiple objective functions. While…
Quality requirements deal with how well a product should perform the intended functionality, such as start-up time and learnability. Researchers argue they are important and at the same time studies indicate there are deficiencies in…
Any program that is designed to accomplish certain objectives, needs to establish program level controls pertaining to the overall goal. A critical aspect that determines the success of a program is the quality of the controls and their…
Requirements about the quality of clinical guidelines can be represented by schemata borrowed from the theory of abductive diagnosis, using temporal logic to model the time-oriented aspects expressed in a guideline. Previously, we have…
Citation metrics are becoming pervasive in the quantitative evaluation of scholars, journals and institutions. More then ever before, hiring, promotion, and funding decisions rely on a variety of impact metrics that cannot disentangle…
This paper introduces a novel approach to assess model performance for predictive models characterized by an ordinal target variable in order to satisfy the lack of suitable tools in this framework. Our methodological proposal is a new…
Ranking and scoring are ubiquitous. We consider the setting in which an institution, called a ranker, evaluates a set of individuals based on demographic, behavioral or other characteristics. The final output is a ranking that represents…
[Context] Quality requirements are important for product success yet often handled poorly. The problems with scope decision lead to delayed handling and an unbalanced scope. [Objective] This study characterizes the scope decision process to…
The need for performance measurement tools appeared soon after the emergence of the first Object-Oriented Database Management Systems (OODBMSs), and proved important for both designers and users (Atkinson \& Maier, 1990). Performance…
Quantile-based classifiers can classify high-dimensional observations by minimising a discrepancy of an observation to a class based on suitable quantiles of the within-class distributions, corresponding to a unique percentage for all…
Variants of accuracy and precision are the gold-standard by which the computer vision community measures progress of perception algorithms. One reason for the ubiquity of these metrics is that they are largely task-agnostic; we in general…
Fashion-focused artificial intelligence has rapidly advanced in recent years, driven by deep learning and its deployment in recommender systems, detection, retrieval, and analytics. Yet several consumer-facing domains remain comparatively…
This tutorial provides the audience with the basic theories, methodologies, and current progresses of image quality assessment (IQA). From an actionable perspective, we will first revisit several subjective quality assessment methodologies,…
While working on a software specification, designers usually need to evaluate different architectural alternatives to be sure that quality criteria are met. Even when these quality aspects could be expressed in terms of multiple software…
In recent years, the role and the importance of software in the automotive domain have changed dramatically. Being able to systematically evaluate and manage software quality is becoming even more crucial. In practice, however, we still…
A joint characterisation of the observability and controllability of a particular kind of discrete system has been developed. The key idea of the procedure can be reduced to a correct choice of the sampling sequence. This freedom, owing to…
At this time, quality is a strategic instrument of the entities' global management, but it is also a determining element of their competitive spirit. The importance given to quality is abundantly found in the preoccupations of the European…
