In most of the recent research literature, network performance is expressed in terms of network engineering measures such as delay or loss. These performance measures are important to network owners and operators, but it is believed that user preferences should be the primary consideration which drives the resource allocation scheme. A network is only as valuable as its users perceive it to be. Therefore, it is advocated that the users themselves determine relative traffic priorities. This paper describes the role of feedback in network resource allocation, which could be part of a user-oriented framework for network operation and control. Feedback mechanism can also be used to improve the two types of efficiency in the network; network efficiency and economic efficiency.

Effective job scheduling scheme is a crucial part of complex heterogeneous distributed systems. Gang scheduling is a scheduling algorithm for grid systems that schedules related grid jobs to run simultaneously on servers in different local sites. In this paper, we address grid jobs (gangs) schedule modeling using Stochastic reward nets (SRNs), which is concerned for static and dynamic scheduling policies. SRN is an extension of Stochastic Petri Net (SPN) and provides compact modeling facilities for system analysis. Threshold queue is adopted to smooth the variations of performance measures. System throughput and response time are compared and analyzed by giving reward measures in SRNs.

Today academic libraries have to show that they are using given resources for right purpose and in the best way. In order to reach this goal, academic libraries should develop the effective evaluation model. And carefully selected and used, performance measures or evaluation indicators are the most important tool the Library has to ensure goals and objectives are being accomplished. The purpose of this study is to understand a theoretical foundation for evaluation indicators of academic libraries, that is, its diverse(various) meanings and directivity.

This paper deals with the development of simulation model for the container terminal consisting of 3 berths, 8 container cranes, 16 yard blocks with each yard cranes and 90 yard trucks in order to evaluate the various operational rules. The proposed operational rules are 3 ship dispatching rules, 3 berth allocation rules, 2 crane allocation rules, 2 yard allocation rules and 2 yard truck allocation rules and 4 performance measures like ship time in the terminal, ship time in the port, the number of ships processed and the number of containers handled are considered. The simulation result are as follows. 1) no difference among 3 ship dispatching rules, 2) berth allocation rules depends on performance measures 3) dynamic crane allocation is better than fixed policy 4) pooling yard allocation is better than short distance yard allocation rules and 5) fixed yard truck allocation by berth is a little better than pooling policy.

Many technologies have been developed to improve diesel emissions or performance, however NOx/PM trade-off occurs because normal methods that reduce NOx emissions tend to increase PM emissions. On the other hand many measures used to control PM emissions tend to increase NOx emissions. Thus, simultaneously controlling both NOx and PM emissions has become a significant challenge for diesel engine manufacturers. As one of the measures, the technology using emulsified fuel has recently become important under the stringent emission regulations of diesel engines. This paper investigates injection characteristics of emulsified fuel and its effect on a combustion performance in a diesel engine. In order to supply emulsified fuel into injection system a mixing unit produced by Harrier is used, then the fuel mixed with water is supplied into injector directly. The spray injected is investigated with a shadowgraph photo system and injection analyzing apparatus, then applied into a diesel engine. Those results showed that the emulsified fuel has an effect on reducing both NOx and PM.

This paper deals with the development of a simulation model for the container terminal, which consists of 3 berths, 8 container cranes, and 16 yard blocks with each yard crane and 90 yard trucks in order to evaluate the various operational rules. The proposed operational rules are 3 ship-dispatching rules, 3 berth allocation rules, 2 crane allocation rules, 2 yard allocation rules, and 2 yard truck allocation rules. These rules are simulated using 4 performance measures, such as ship time in the terminal, ship time in the port, the number of ships processed, and the number of containers handled. The simulation result is as follows: 1) there is no difference among 3 ship-dispatching rules, 2) berth allocation rules depend on performance measures, 3) dynamic crane allocation is better than fixed policy, 4) pooling yard allocation is better than short distance yard allocation rules, and 5) fixed yard truck allocation by berth is a little better than pooling policy.

This paper proposes an improved method to verify a keyword segment that results from a word spotting system. First a baseline word spotting system is implemented. In order to improve performance of the word spotting systems, we use a two-pass structure which consists of a word spotting system and an utterance verification system. Using the basic likelihood ratio test (LRT) based utterance verification system to verify the keywords, there have been certain problems which lead to performance degradation. So, we propose a method which uses phone-level log-likelihood ratios (PLLR) patterns in computing confidence measures for each keyword. The proposed method generates weights according to the PLLR patterns and assigns different weights to each phone in the process of generating confidence measures for the keywords. This proposed method has shown to be more appropriate to word spotting systems and we can achieve improvement in final word spotting accuracy.

The purpose of the study was to explore the potential of the Social Network Analysis as an analytical tool for scientific investigation of learner-learner, or learner-tutor interaction within an Computer Supported Corporative Learning (CSCL) environment. Theoretical and methodological implication of the Social Network Analysis had been discussed. Following theoretical analysis, an exploratory empirical study was conducted to test statistical correlation between traditional performance measures such as achievement and team contribution index, and the centrality measure, one of the many quantitative measures the Social Network Analysis provides. Results indicate the centrality measure was correlated with the higher order learning performance and the peer-evaluated contribution indices. An interpretation of the results and their implication to instructional design theory and practices were provided along with some suggestions for future research.

Recently, a variety of confidence measures for utterance verification has been studied to improve speech recognition performance by rejecting out-of-vocabulary inputs. Most of the conventional confidence measures for utterance verification are based primarily on hypothesis testing or an approximated posterior probability, and their performances depend on the robustness of an alternative hypothesis or the prior probability. We introduce a novel confidence measure called a search confusion rate (SCR), which does not require an alternative hypothesis or the approximation of posterior probability. Our confusion-based approach shows better performance in additive noise-corrupted speech as well as in clean speech.

In parameter design, Taguchi's stated objective is to find the setting of product or process design parameters that minimize average quadratic loss-that is, the average squared deviation of the response from its target value. Yet in practice to choose the settings of design parameters he maximizeds a set of measures called signal-to-noise(SN) ratios. In general, Taguchi gave no justification for the use the SN ratios and no explanation of why the two-step procedure that he recommened will minimize average loss. The purpose of this study is comparing and analyzing of performance statistics by Leon et al(PerMIA), Box(Transformation theory), Vining & Myers(Dual Response Systems) and Taguchi(Signal-to-Noise ratios).
