Abstract
The advent of remote terminal access to computer systems, especially as provided by computer networks, has created a marketplace in which computer services rather than computer systems are being sold. And along with that marketplace has come the need for a way to compare and evaluate computer services. This paper presents a methodology for designing and analyzing computer service comparison experiments with the objective of selecting the best system.Keywords
