Measuring system of systems performance
International Journal of System of Systems Engineering, 2012Single systems and systems of systems, alike, demand management approaches focused on performance; but system of systems management can only responsibly address performance if it accounts for characteristics such as the presence of distinct subsystems pursuing possibly disparate purposes, a characteristic by definition of no concern to single system ...

Measurement and performance of a multiprogramming system
Proceedings of the second symposium on Operating systems principles - SOSP '69, 1969This paper presents a brief description of a general multiprogramming (and time-sharing) system in operation at the University of Michigan. A number of time and space distributions obtained from a typical month of operation are presented. The performance is summarized by a load diagram. Efficiency as a comparison with ideal performance is discussed and

Performance measurement system simplicity
International Journal of Manufacturing Technology and Management, 2006Leading researchers, consultants and practitioners advocate that internal operations performance measurement (PM) systems need to be 'simple' in order to be most effective. The notion of PM system simplicity has often been expressed as the characteristic of having few versus many measures.

Performance measurements of mammographic systems
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2008Performance measurements of 30 mammographic installations were carried out in order to see the current level of image quality and breast doses.The half of the systems tested in this survey indicated automatic exposure control and beam collimation problems.

Performance measures for constrained systems
IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation, 1997We present a geometric theory of the performance of robot manipulators, applicable to systems with constraints, which may be nonholonomic. The performance is quantified by a geometrical object, the induced metric tensor, from which scalars may be constructed by invariant tensor operations to give performance measures.

Performance measurement systems - Models, characteristics and measures
International Journal of Operations & Production Management, 2001In spite of the increasing importance of performance measurement in operations management, few large scale empirical studies concern models, characteristics and indicators of the performance measurement systems (PMSs). Results of a survey conducted in 115 medium and large sized Italian manufacturing firms operating in three main industries are ...

Measuring health system performance
The European Journal of Health Economics, 2002The improvement of health system performance has become a key policy issue in most developed nations. To that end, many initiatives to measure system performance are being put in place. This paper examines the performance measurement movement from a principal/agent viewpoint.

Incorporating a Measure of Uncertainty into Systems of Systems Development Performance Measures
Systems Engineering, 2013ABSTRACT Technical Performance Measures ( TPMs ) historically are used to help the Program Manager in predicting if a program is on a path to achieve required performance. When extended over a developmental timeline, TPMs have provided

Performance Measurement Systems
2011Up to now, this book has shown readers the important components in formulating a successful strategy and good decision-making processes. Now imagine the challenge of implementing a strategy formulated in a company such as Microsoft, with subsidiaries in many countries and a legion of collaborators!

Measurement of computer system/information system performance
ACM SIGMIS Database: the DATABASE for Advances in Information Systems, 1989This paper reports the results of a field study conducted to obtain managers perceptions of their Management Information Systems (MIS). The basic study involved responses from over 100 MIS/DP managers, users, and other business professionals. The research sampled the perspectives of both MIS and non-MIS personnel and found no great disparities in ...
