Performance Evaluation and Benchmarking of Intelligent by Raj Madhavan,Edward Tunstel,Elena Messina

To layout and improve able, in charge, and cheap clever structures, their functionality needs to be measurable. Scienti?c methodologies for standardization and benchmarking are the most important for quantitatively comparing the functionality of eme- ing robot and clever structures’ applied sciences. there's at the moment no approved typical for quantitatively measuring the functionality of those platforms opposed to user-de?ned standards; and moreover, there isn't any consensus on what obj- tive overview tactics have to be to appreciate the functionality of those structures. the shortcoming of reproducible and repeatable try out equipment has precluded researchers practicing a typical aim from changing and communic- ing effects, inter-comparing process functionality, and leveraging past paintings which could another way stay away from duplication and expedite expertise move. presently, this loss of solidarity in the neighborhood hinders development in lots of domain names, resembling m- ufacturing, provider, healthcare, and safety. via supplying the learn group with entry to standardized instruments, reference facts units, and open resource libraries of strategies, researchers and shoppers should be capable of assessment the associated fee and be- ?ts linked to clever platforms and linked applied sciences. during this vein, the edited booklet quantity addresses functionality evaluate and metrics for intel- gent structures, usually, whereas emphasizing the necessity and recommendations for standardized tools. To the data of the editors, there's not a unmarried publication out there that's completely devoted to the topic of functionality review and benchmarking of clever systems.
