Developing Adaptive Calibration and Benchmarking Methods for 6G Performance Measurement: Implementation and Conclusions From 6G-Sandbox

Internet of Vehicles (IoV), which plays a significantly important role in smart future cities, has become current hot research topics. However, the high heterogeneous nature of IoV has brought many new challenges such as low network performance and difficult network management for IoV. Software-defined networking enables the efficient solution of these problem. This article studies the measurement and analysis technology for software-defined networking of IoV. A new software-defined networking-based IoV heterogeneous networking measurement framework is proposed to build software-defined networking of IoV. We propose a performance measurement and analysis method to measure and characterize its performance. The performance indexes and measure methods about the delay, loss, throughput, delay jitter is in detail derived. The switch selection mechanism is proposed to establish optimal measurement points of advantage. The packet sampling process is presented to quickly obtain the needed measurement information from massive traffic flows. To validate our measurement method and fairly characterize its measurement performance for different controllers, we conduct massive simulation experiments to systematically analyze and compare current famous controllers. In such a case, we provide more comprehensive, systematic measurement analysis for application in software-defined networking of IoV. Experiments results show that our measurement approach is feasible and effective.

The development technology is something that happens quickly and surely this is marked by the number of new manufacturing companies that are emerging and spreading throughout the world. In the manufacturing industry the most important thing that must always be maintained is production efficiency, but the majority of industries only pay attention to the efficiency aspects of their production activities without regard to the aspects of humans who work in the industry. Human resource scorecard (HRSC) is an appropriate measurement method in identifying and measuring the relationship between workers, strategy, and performance to produce a good company. This human resource performance measurement is looking at business units from four perspectives: financial perspective (F), the customer (C), internal business process (I), and learning and growth (L). Each perspective in HRSC weighted by Analytical Hierarchy process method and then calculated by Objective Matrix (OMAX) to identify which category needed an extra attention and need to be repaired. The end result of OMAX will be reviewed by management theory so the solution made in this analysis will produce the best end result that needed by the company. This measurement is very critical to the company because the competition between company is getting tougher nowadays. HRSC measurement was carried in PT OCM by describing the company’s vision and mission into human resource action whose contribution can be measured using AHP analysis in 4 perspectives: financial perspective with a weight of 0.396, customer perspective (employee) with a weight of 0.118, internal business perspective with a weight of 0.240, and growth and development perspective with a weight of 0.247 after that PT OCM use that measurement in OMAX method to determine what KPI needed extra attention and repairment, management based theory will be applied in that solution to give the best result.

The purpose of this study is to design a Balanced Scorecard performance measurement that is integrated with Six Sigma methods in PT Jasuindo Tiga Perkasa, Tbk. Balanced Scorecard is a performance measurement method that includes the measurement of four perspectives; financial perspective and the other three non-financial perspectives (customer perspective, internal business processes perspective, and learning and growth perspective). This measurement method is integrated with DMAIC process (definition, measurement, analysis, improvement, control). Analysis technique is to identify the vision, mission, objectives, SWOT analysis and company strategy. Based on the measurement using key performance indicators of each perspective, the analysis is done in case of the decrease in performance, and focuses on finding control and solution to improve the performance. This study also measures the level of Six Sigma, where the company managed to achieve sigma level of 6.20, or 99.999869%. The re-sults obtained from the measurement are in accordance with the key performance indi-cators in which 1) there is an increase in financial perspective 2) there is a decrease in customer perspective, 3) there is an increase in internal business process perspective, and 4) there is a decrease in learning and growth perspective.

This paper first examines the effect of two basic types of investment performance fees, which differ in the method of performance measurement, on the amount and variability of investment advisory compensation. Then this effect is related to the risk borne by fund investors. From this analysis, policy implications for the SEC's regulation of incentive fee plans are drawn, with considerations of equity, resource allocation, and minimization of restrictive rules.

With the development of air transport, the capacity of airports increasing in use day by day is insufficient. Therefore, it has been thought that airports should be used effectively and efficiently. A number of studies have been conducted by airport managers and competent authorities to improve effectively and efficiently in airports. Many performance measurement methods are used in these studies. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), where many input and output variables are used, is one of the most widely used performance measurement methods in airports. In the first part of this study, the importance of performance measurement at airports is mentioned. In the second part, the previous studies with the DEA in the airports were researched. In the third part, information about the DEA was given. In the last part, operational efficiency measurement of 20 airports which can be accessed within the first 25 airports of the world in terms of number of passengers was done with DEA. In the analysis phase, input variables such as runway number, aircraft number, gate number and terminal area size are used. Total number of flights, total freight and total number of passengers were used as output variables. In the conclusion section, suggestions for ineffective airports are presented. http://dx.doi.org/10.17130/ijmeb.2017ICMEB1735613

Performance measurement with the arbitrage pricing theory: A new framework for analysis

In recent years, a large number of studies have explored the specific methods of measuring learners' cognitive load from the perspectives of task performance, subjective assessment and physiological signals. In terms of task performance measurement, relevant researches mainly focus on learners' objective performance evaluation, and dual task measurement is an important method of task performance measurement. In terms of subjective assessment, relevant researches mainly focus on the development of cognitive load measurement scale. In terms of physiological signal measurement, different cognitive loads can lead to differences among learners in heart rate variability (HRV), electroencephalogram (EEG), skin electrical activity, and eye movement signals, etc., and cognitive loads are mainly indirectly measured using relevant instruments.

It is a complex and important job that how to measure and estimate the time & frequency system before designing and evaluating a satellite navigation system. Almost all of the available methods for time & frequency performance measurement are designed for a single equipment or the discrete part. It is considered rarely to measure the performance of time & frequency system as a whole. In this paper, the technical index of time & frequency system to achieve the function of position was been analysed and discussed, and one way is given, from it's performance chain standard range to analyze and evaluate the performance of time & frequency. The method of time & frequency performance chain standard range is used for analyzing the reason and the consistency of time & frequency technical index selection, estimating the rationality of correlative technical index, evaluating the optimal or the worst technical index set. In this paper, the concept is presented and used, a method for measuring and evaluating the time & frequency of satellite navigation systems as a whole is studied.

Digital image correlation has emerged as a popular method for the dynamic performance measurement of metallic and polymer sheets, owing to the benefits of being a noncontact, full-field, and high-precision method. Two or more high-speed cameras are required for full-field vibration measurements with three-dimensional digital image correlation, which is generally costly. Perpendicular view to the specimen surface is conventional in two-dimensional digital image correlation, and the out-of-plane displacement is regarded as a part of systematic errors. In this study, a single view method was implemented with no complex optical settings. The full-field vibration displacement of the metal sheet was measured with projection components, and the first four orders of displacement modes were identified. Finite element analysis and traditional experimental modal analysis were then implemented to validate the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed approach. The results show that the dynamic parameters, including the natural frequencies and mode shapes, were well consistent. Meanwhile, there is a significant difference in the length of mode shape vectors. The number of measurement points in the proposed method is 2016, which is far more than the number of measurement points in the traditional experimental modal analysis. This would be convenient and beneficial for damage identification towards thin-wall parts including turbine blade with the continuum hypothesis of mode shapes and a single-camera DIC system. It is worth noting that this is effective with conditions of small deformation vibration and no rigid-body rotation.

The research was focused to the actual situation in Performance Measurement of the energy processes in Czech production plants. The results are back – upped by the previous researches which were aimed to performance measurement methods usage in the whole organizational structure of the plants. Although the most of big industrial companies declared using of modern Performance Measurements methods, the previous researches shown that it is not purely true. The bigger differences were found in the energy area – energy processes. The authors compared the Energy concepts of European Union (EU) and Czech Republic (CZ) which are very different and do not create any possibilities for manager’s clear decision in the process management strategy of energy processes in their companies. Next step included the Energy department’s analysis. The significant part of energy processes in the production plants is still not mapped, described and summarized to one methodical manual for managing and performance measurement.
