This book provides an invaluable guide to cost-benefit analysis of computer graphics systems. The author begins by distinguishing cost-benefit analysis from cost-effectiveness analysis, explaining that the former is concerned with justifying the investment in a system, while the latter is aimed at optimizing system performance. The author then outlines the different types of computer graphics systems and discusses the methods for analyzing their performance and costs. With this information, the author demonstrates how cost-effectiveness analyses may be performed. Following this, the author presents an experimental methodology for performing benefit analyses of computer graphics systems. The final step is to combine the results of the cost-effectiveness and benefit analyses to perform the desired cost-benefit analysis. Although no attempt is made to actually perform such an analysis in this book, the author does provide a rigorous formulation of the cost-benefit procedure. This book will be of great interest to anyone involved in the design, implementation, or evaluation of computer graphics systems.
