Performance evaluation of clustering techniques for image segmentation [PDF]
In this paper, we tackle the performance evaluation of two clustering algorithms: EFC and AIC-based. Both algorithms face the cluster validation problem, in which they need to estimate the number of components. While EFC algorithm is a direct method, the

Diffusion Anomaly in an Associating Lattice Gas Model
We investigate the relation between thermodynamic and dynamic properties of an associating lattice gas (ALG) model. The ALG combines a two dimensional lattice gas with particles interacting through a soft core potential and orientational degrees of ...

Modeling the Structure and Complexity of Engineering Routine Design Problems [PDF]
This paper proposes a model to structure routine design problems as well as a model of its design complexity. The idea is that having a proper model of the structure of such problems enables understanding its complexity, and likewise, a proper ...

Designing better performance measurement systems in universities using the business model canvas [PDF]
This paper starts by critically reviewing the way in which universities design their measures of performance. We argue that the “one size fits all” performance measurement approach adopted by so many universities is not appropriate when departments have ...
