Science Indicators and the Evaluation of Scientific Activity
The evaluation of scientific activity has always been a difficult endeavor because of both its long-range effects and the intrinsic uncertainty of this kind of research. In these times of growing budgetary constraints, such evaluation has become a significant tool in assessing the “track records” of scientific organizations (universities and research institutes) and of funding […]
Evaluation Methodology for Research Productivity of Universities
The objective of this exploratory study was to develop a methodology to estimate research productivity of academic units, which may be used also for disciplines where bibliometric data are not available. For this purpose peer recognition items which may be integrated into a comprehensive number related to research productivity were tested on a limited scale.
Migration To and From Development Towns in Israel
The purpose of this study is to evaluate, on a micro level, the reasons that cause the upper socio-economic class of the population to emigrate from or immigrate to a development town. Such an evaluation may help create a spatial policy that will facilitate the absorption of high-level socio-economic groups of the population into development […]

Guidelines for Climatic Energy Planning in Residential Buildings
This book focuses on the sensitivity analysis of the building’s energy performance, in the temperate-cool and hot-humid climate of Israel, to the values assigned to various design parameters during the early conceptual design stage. During this design stage, the architect defines the geometry of the building and its relation to the surroundings. Systematic evaluation of […]
Distributed Algorithms, WDAG ’92, Springer Verlag, Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series, No. 647
WDAG is intended to provide a forum for researchers and other parties interested in distributed algorithms and their applications. The aim is to present recent research results, explore directions for future research, and identify common fundamental techniques that serve as building blocks in many distributed algorithms. Papers were solicited describing original results in all areas […]
