Blockchain is a transactional data storage system where data can be stored reliably without the need for a central database or trusted authority. The data can be anything like financial transactions, supply chain processes or medical records. It is similar to a classical database but uses a decentralized ledger and allowing each participant in the network to have their own copy of the ledger and be able to see all transactions. Data stored in the distributed ledger can only be read or written, not deleted or updated unlike traditional central database. Reliable data is essential for the water industry for information about the current status of any water system, to build trust between stakeholders at all scales, and for effective forecasting and future scenarios by reducing uncertainty. The aim of this study is to examine the potential of using blockchain-based algorithms (smart contracts, chain codes, decentralised identifiers etc.) for the water industry on the edge of digital transformation, and to propose water-related data processing system architectures for different water quantity-quality based scenarios.

Advanced methods for diversification of results in general-purpose and specialized search engines
Yiğit Sert, Sevgi; Altıngövde, İsmail Sengör; Ulusoy, Özgür; Department of Computer Engineering (2020-12-28)
Diversifying search results is a common mechanism in information retrieval to satisfy more users by surfacing documents that address different possible intentions of users. It aims to generate a result list that is both relevant and diverse when ambiguous and/or broad queries appear. Such queries have different underlying subtopics (a.k.a., aspects or interpretations) that search result diversification algorithms should consider. In this thesis, we first address search result diversification as a useful met...
Using operational data for decision making a feasibility study in rail maintenance
Marsh, William; Nur, Khalid; Yet, Barbaros; Majumdar, Arnab (2016-05-01)
In many organisations, large databases are created as part of the business operation: the promise of ‘big data’ is to extract information from these databases to make smarter decisions. We explore the feasibility of this approach for better decision-making for maintenance, specifically for rail infrastructure. We argue that the data should be used within a Bayesian framework with the aim of inferring the underlying state of the system so we can predict future failures and improve decision-making. Within thi...
Privacy preserving database external layer construction algorithm via secure decomposition for attribute-based security policies
Turan, Uğur; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Kantarcıoğlu, Murat; Department of Computer Engineering (2018)
Relational DBMS’scontinue to dominate th emarket an dinference problem on external schema has preserved its importance in terms of data privacy. Especially for the last 10 years, external schema construction for application-specific database usage has increased its independency from the conceptual schema, as the definitions and implementations of views and procedures have been optimized. After defining all mathematical background, this work offers an optimized decomposition strategy for the external schema, wh...
Confidence-based concept discovery in multi-relational data mining
Kavurucu, Yusuf; Karagöz, Pınar; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı (2008-03-21)
Multi-relational data mining has become popular due to the limitations of propositional problem definition in structured domains and the tendency of storing data in relational databases. Several relational knowledge discovery systems have been developed employing various search strategies, heuristics, language pattern limitations and hypothesis evaluation criteria, in order to cope with intractably large search space and to be able to generate high-quality patterns. In this work, a new ILP-based concept dis...
Uncertainty in a nested relational database model
Yazıcı, Adnan; Buckles, BP; Petry, FE (1999-07-01)
Some database models have already been developed to deal with complex values but they have constrains that data stored is precise and queries are crisp. However, as many researchers have pointed out, there is a need to present, manipulate, and query complex and uncertain data of various non-traditional database applications such as oceanography, multimedia, meteorology, office automation systems, engineering designs, expert database systems and geographic information systems. In this paper, we present a log...
