The Evaluation of Investment Performance

The Journal of Business, 1977
The first question to which the investment theorist addresses himself is, Given a number of assets with known expectations, risks, and correlations, what is an optimum portfolio, that is, a portfolio with the maximum expectation for a given risk? This question has been dealt with exhaustively in a number of publications.

Evaluating the Performance of AppScale

2016 International Conference on Cloud and Autonomic Computing (ICCAC), 2016
AppScale provides an easy way to distribute applications using the Google App Engine SDK on different infrastructure platforms, e.g. in a private cloud. In this paper, we provide a performance evaluation comparing a benchmark application hosted at the original Google App Engine (GAE) and by means of AppScale at Amazon EC2, at Google Compute Engine (GCE)

HECs: Are they evaluating their performance?

HEC Forum, 1993
Although the incidence and composition of HECs has been well characterized, little is known about how HECs assess their performance. In order to describe the incidence of HEC self-evaluation, the methods HECs use to evaluate their performance, and the characteristics of HECs that influence self-evaluation, we surveyed the readers of Hospital Ethics ...

Performance Evaluation of Proxywork

Proceedings of the 2014 Workshop on Distributed User Interfaces and Multimodal Interaction, 2014
Proxywork is a system that allows users to distribute user interface components of any Web application among a set of devices. In order words, it allows to transform any Web application in a Web application with Distributable User Interface. The distribution is controlled by the user through a set of primitives (clone, copy and migrate) attached to Web

Multidatabase performance evaluation

Proceedings of the 5th Jerusalem Conference on Information Technology, 1990. 'Next Decade in Information Technology', 2002
A model of a multidatabase transaction management system is presented, and the performance of two concurrency control algorithms operating in such an environment is analyzed. One algorithm does not impose any restrictions on either the structure of the concurrency control mechanisms used by local database management systems (DBMSs) or the type of ...

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF JPVM

Parallel Processing Letters, 1999
PVM for Java (JPVM) is a parallel programming environment that provides a set of Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM)-like class libraries developed using Java. JPVM inherits the attributes of Java, especially Java support of heterogeneous system. However, it also has the disadvantage of poor performance when compared to native codes.

Performance Evaluation of Videbas

1983
VIDEBAS is a relational multi-user database management system. Relations are stored, in general, more than one time, each time however in a different sort order. The main goal of this approach is to reduce the number of accesses necessary to handle a query at the cost of a higher charge on external memory.
