Abstract

Since the early 1960s the literature reveals increasing concern with effectiveness of information processing systems and our ability to predict influences of system parameters. A recent survey paper discusses methods of performance evaluation related to three practical goals: selection of the best among several existing systems; design of a not-yet existing system; and analysis of an existing accessible system. The classification of goals is useful, but we can point to neither the models nor the measures nor the measurement tools to allow reliable judgments with respect to those three important goals at this time.
