In this study, we propose enhancing UML connectors with additional behaviors. Associated behaviors add capability to specify exogenous coordination and capability to resolve ambiguities when n-ary connectors are used to coordinate more than two entities. We identify the challenges specific to specification of behaviors for connectors and we propose solutions for them. We argue with examples that this kind of behavioral specification suits well for reusability of both connected elements and the connectors.

Design of a circular microphone array for panoramic audio recording and reproduction : Microphone directivity
Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin; Cvetkovic, Zoran (2010-05-22)
Design of a circularly symmetric multichannel recording and reproduction system is discussed in this paper. The system consists of an array of directional microphones evenly distributed on a circle and a matching array of loudspeakers. The relation between the microphone directivity and the radius of the circular array is established within the context of time-intensity stereophony. The microphone directivity design is identified as a constrained linear least squares optimisation problem. Results of a subje...
Composition Capability of Component-Oriented Development
Kaya, Muhammed Çağrı; Çetinkaya, Anıl; Doğru, Ali Hikmet (2017-10-30)
This research enhances component-oriented development approaches with the capability to represent the dynamic behavior of the final system through a process model. For an executable system, ordering of the message invocations should also be specified besides the definition of a set of components which only presents a static view. Components, however, are usually server kind software units that respond when a request is made. A central application can be expected to trigger some of the methods while some com...
Adaptive dimensional search: A new metaheuristic algorithm for discrete truss sizing optimization
Hasançebi, Oğuzhan (2015-07-01)
In the present study a new metaheuristic algorithm called adaptive dimensional search (ADS) is proposed for discrete truss sizing optimization problems. The robustness of the ADS lies in the idea of updating search dimensionality ratio (SDR) parameter online during the search for a rapid and reliable convergence towards the optimum. In addition, several alternative stagnation-control strategies are integrated with the algorithm to escape from local optima, in which a limited uphill (non-improving) move is p...
Reducing computational demand of multi-state constraint kalman filter in visual-inertial odometry applications
Eyice, Kerem; Çiloğlu, Tolga; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019)
The aim of this study is to reduce the computational load required by Multi-State Constraint Kalman Filter in visual-inertial odometry applications while maintaining the accuracy of the localization solution. In order to accomplish this, a keyframe-based pose selection mechanism is proposed. The proposed method fuses visual measurements with inertial measurements in order to estimate the kinematics of the platform. The contribution of this study is to reduce computational demand of the filtering operations ...
Exploiting Class-Specific Features in Multi-feature Dissimilarity Space for Efficient Querying of Images
Yilmaz, Turgay; Yazıcı, Adnan; Yildirim, Yakup (2011-10-28)
Combining multiple features is an empirically validated approach in the literature, which increases the accuracy in querying. However, it entails processing intrinsic high-dimensionality of features and complicates realizing an efficient system. Two primary problems can be discussed for efficient querying: representation of images and selection of features. In this paper, a class-specific feature selection approach with a dissimilarity based representation method is proposed. The class-specific features are...
