This paper presents an extensive review on the services, six-sigma, and study the Critical Success Factors, Critical to Quality Characteristics and Key Performance Indicators in medium scale hospitals in Tamilnadu, India. Can health care approach the near perfection of Six Sigma in actual practice? . General Electric has begun to apply the same Six Sigma methods that worked to improve its manufacturing processes to its other, more service-oriented businesses. We believe, however, that asking this question must not be an excuse for failing to embark on the journey. Health care now frequently produces defects at rates as high as 500,000 per million––as exemplified in failures to recognize and treat clinical depression (Wells et al. 1989) or control hypertension (Udvarhelyi et al. 1991). Enough examples of improvement exist to conclude that we can do much better. In order to improve health service quality focus on health service process is necessary. Six-sigma is a philosophy which also concentrates on the improvement of process. So, six-sigma if properly applied can be useful for health services. The wider applicability of six-sigma depends on identification of key performance indicators (KPIs) for different types of health service processes. A case study is conducted in a medium scale hospital to identify, analyze and rank the critical success factors for Six sigma implementation available in literature, critical to quality characteristics (CTQs) ,KPIs and hurdles in the hospitals which affect possible quality improvements. This study will be helpful to both practitioners and researchers.","PeriodicalId":121456,"journal":{"name":"International Journal on Information Sciences and Computing","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123069294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

User Interface Test Automation for Silverlight Applications plays a vital role in software industry; especially User Interface Test Automation (UITA) in new technology like Silverlight is a challenging task because of its high security and low accessibility. Agent Technology is intermediate software that provides a better bridge between User Interface Test Automation and Silverlight applications. There are many different software agents for each group of controls to do User Interface Test Automation. For example button control agent will take care of all buttons in User Interface Test Automation. In this paper we present the XAML User Interface test automation using Multi Agent System.

The system collects locally-generated peer feedbacks and aggregates them to yield the global reputation scores. Surprisingly, most previous work ignored the distribution of peer feedbacks. We use a trust overlay network (TON) to model the trust relationships among peers. After examining the eBay transaction trace of over 10,000 users, we discovered a power-law distribution in user feedbacks. Our mathematical analysis justifies that power-law distribution is applicable to any dynamicall yg rowing P2P systems, either structured or unstructured. We develop a robust and scalable P2P reputation system, PowerTrust, to leverage the power-law feedback characteristics. The PowerTrust system dynamically selects small number of power nodes that are most reputable using a distributed ranking mechanism. By using a look ahead random walk strategy and leveraging the power nodes, the PowerTrust significantly improves in global reputation accuracy and aggregation speed. PowerTrust is adaptable to dynamics in peer joining and leaving and robust to disturbance by malicious peers. Through P2P network simulation experiments, we find significant performance gains in using PowerTrust. This power-law guided reputation system design proves to achieve high query success rate in P2P file-sharing applications. The system also reduces the total job make span and failure rate in large-scale, parameter-sweeping P2P Grid applications. A peer to peer network exploits diverse connectivity between participants in a network and the cumulative bandwidth of network participants rather than conventional centralized resources where a relatively low number of servers provide the core value to a service or application. A pure peer to peer network doesn't have the notion of clients or servers, but only equal peer nodes that simultaneously function as both clients and servers to the other nodes on the network. Peers act as equals, merging the roles of clients and server. There is no central server managing the network. There is no central router.","PeriodicalId":121456,"journal":{"name":"International Journal on Information Sciences and Computing","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127815436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
