Component Based Development(CBD) Methodology is widely used in software development lifecycle to improve software quality. The Component Based Development(CBD) results to improve software reusability and reduce development term and cost. For this reason, lots of Enterprises are trying to make their processes to components. But, there has been few quality assurance or reusability testing action to those components. Most software component users can not know how their components are reusable and what extent their components satisfy to th eir quality requirements. For this reason, this paper suggests that software components can be measured their reusability by metrics proposed by this paper. We propose that in measuring software component reusability, there are direct metrics and indirect metrics. The results made by direct metrics are suggested to measure indirect metrics, so results to obtain reusability metrics.

For the successful IT operation outsourcing there need appropriate metrics on which both of the service clients and provider agree. The metrics are used to set up the service level objectives, which are manifested in the service level agreement with price. A study of metrics is necessary for the following reasons: First, most of the metrics used today were introduced in the early years of computers and are not satisfactory to both of the service providers and clients. Second, metrics represent the performance of system components but not end-user satisfaction. Third, because the service provider leads the outsourcing agreement, the objectives are specified more favorable to the provider. The objectives should be based on metrics that both sides fully understand and agree on.

Ground-level ozone ($O_3$) can be a menace for vegetation, especially in Asia where $O_3$ levels have been dramatically increased over the past decades. To ensure food security and maintain forest ecosystem services, such as nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration and functional diversity of soil biota, in the over-populated Asia, environmental standards are needed. To set proper standards, dose-response relationships should be established from which critical levels are derived. The predictor of the response in the dose-response relationship is an $O_3$ metric that indicates the dose level to which the plant has been exposed. This study aimed to review the relevant scientific literature and summarize the $O_3$ metrics used worldwide to provide insights for Asia. A variety of $O_3$ metrics have been used, for which we discuss their strengths and weaknesses. The most widely used metrics are based only on $O_3$ levels. Such metrics have been adopted by several regulatory agencies in the global. However, they are biologically irrelevant because they ignore the plant physiological capacity. Adopting AOT40 ($O_3$ mixing ratios Accumulated Over the Threshold of $40nmol\;mol^{-1}$) as the default index for setting critical levels in Asia would be a poor policy with severe consequences at national and Pan-Asian level. Asian studies should focus on flux-based $O_3$ metrics to provide relevant bases for developing proper standards. However, given the technical requirements in calculating flux-based $O_3$ metrics, which can be an important limitation in developing countries, no-threshold cumulative exposure indices like AOT0 should always accompany flux-based indices.

We classify complete, locally homogeneous metrics with finite volume on four-dimensional manifolds which are critical points for the squared $L^2-norm$ functionals of either the full Riemannian curvature tensor or the Weyl curvature tensor defined on the space of Riemannian metrics.

In a Recent paper [3], D. Chinea, M. Delon and J. C. Marrero proved that a cosymplectic manifold is formal and constructed an example of compact cosymplectic manifold which is not a global product of a Kaehler manifold with the circle. In this paper we study the compact cosymplectic manifolds with critical Riemannian metrics.

In this paper, we introduce metrics d, p and ${\mu}$ on a normed almost linear space (X, III.III). And we prove that above three metrics are equivalent if a normed almost linear space X has a basis and splits as X = W$_X$ + V$_X$.

Knowledge in linguistic rhythm of the target language plays a major role in foreign language proficiency. This study attempts to discover valid rhythm features that can be utilized in automatic assessment of non-native English pronunciation. Eight previously proposed and two novel rhythm metrics are investigated with 360 English read speech tokens obtained from 27 Korean learners and 9 native speakers. It is found that some of the speech-rate normalized interval measures and above-word level metrics are effective enough to be further applied for automatic scoring as they are significantly correlated with speakers' proficiency levels. It is also shown that metrics need to be dynamically selected depending upon the structure of target sentences. Results from a preliminary auto-scoring experiment through a Multi Regression analysis suggest that appropriate control of unexpected input utterances is also desirable for better performance.

Recommender system is a core component of e-commerce. Correspondingly, metrics to evaluate the system performance have been developed and applied. However, even though we have lots of applications that have tried to adopt recommender systems, the dearth of successfully installed recommender systems for more than a decade leads us to a skeptical thinking that current metrics do not sufficiently indicate the recommender system success in business viability point of view. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to reconfigure measures for recommender system success. Adopting DeLone and McLean's amended model of information system success as the underlying framework, content analysis with intellectual properties on recommender systems was conducted to modify the currently used metrics. Then a model of recommender system success is proposed based on the newly identified metrics are compared with traditional metrics.

Despite surging interests in analyzing business processes, there are few scientific approaches to analysis and redesign of organizational structures which can greatly affect the performance of business processes. This paper presents a method for deriving and analyzing organizational relations from process models using social network analysis techniques. Process models contain information on who performs which processes and activities, along with the assignment of organizational units such as departments and roles to related activities. To derive social relations between organizational units from process models, three types of metrics are formally defined: transfer of work metrics, subcontracting metrics, and cooperation metrics. By applying these metrics, various relations among organizational units can be derived and analyzed. To verify the proposed method and metrics, they are applied to standard process models of the semiconductor and electronic, and automotive industry in Korea. This paper presents a taxonomy for diagnosing organization structure based on the presented approach. The paper also discusses how to combine analyses in the taxonomy for redesign of organizational structures.
