Evaluating scalable matching tools: A quality-oriented approach
Claudia C. Gutiérrez Rodríguez, Sana Sellami · 2012
Actually, the evaluation of matching tools is an entire, complex and complicated research subject which we are interested in. Complex because matching systems can regroup several matching techniques and complicated considering their multiple users. Considering quality as an important element to define, use and evolve particular systems (as information and manufacturing systems), we extend traditional approaches and we propose an evaluation approach based on software product quality principles. In this paper, we offer an evaluation method based on a quality model (characteristics, sub-characteristics, measures...) adapted to the specificities of scalable matching tools. To illustrate our approach, we provide some evaluation results over two scalable matching tools COMA++ and PLASMA.
