A case study on the evaluation of open source bulletin board system with multi-function by the analytical hierarchy process

We proposed and stratified a selection standard model on Open Source Functional Board which could be found in Web. So we could grasp the weight about Performance Evaluation from the viewpoints of planners, developers, and web designer professional of views.We suggested applying diverse measurement types in case of item which could chart Evaluation Standards on chosen sample boards.In case of item which couldn't do that, we compared and analyzed it by using selective type of 9 point scaling method on professionals in every sample board.As a result of weight on upper estimate section of evaluation model chart, the order of importance was convenience(0.334), performance(0.333), function(0.240) and design(0.093) respectively. It indicates that there is more weight on performance and convenience which are hard to be structurally modified than designs and functions that are directly shown to the users. Also, it was evident that opposite results came out when using 9-point scale survey and measurement with objective data such as function and performance. The reason is because the surveyed subject can have his or her own subjectivity and bias unlike objective data. However, objectivity of the administrator is also an important factor thus both two perspectives have to be all considered when selecting the bulletin board.
