Evaluation of Performance Metrics Required in Proper Selection of SDN Controller for Integrated Satellite-Terrestrial Networks by Oluwatobi A. Ayofe, Mu'azu J. Musa, Zanna M. Abdullahir, Abdoulie M.S. Tekanyi, Aliyu D. Usman, Ezekiel E. Agbon, Emmanuel A. Otsapa, Agburu O. Adikpe, Matthew Iyobhebhe, Paul Thomas Muge

“…Observing from the values for both the throughput and synchronisation time metrics under all the topologies, it can be inferred that a number of hosts have more impact on the metrics rather than traffic volume, and this could be attributed to caching mechanisms like Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) wherein new traffic from known hosts can quickly be processed compared to new traffic from new hosts. …”

Evaluation of the efficiency of Russian universities: Do we need to change the paradigm? by E. V. Romanov

“…Based on the analysis of the income structure of federal and part of national research universities, the author proves that it is not correct to compare universities in terms of the volume and rate of income from income-generating activities.It is required to change the methodology for the evaluation of universities, i.e. to highlight performance indicators and their corresponding performance indicators (as the ratio of results achieved and costs). …”
