This study discusses the routing optimization techniques and algorithms for communication networks. Preventing data loss on overloaded communication links and utilizing link bandwidths efficiently are the main problems of traffic engineering. Load balancing and routing problems are solved using both by heuristics such as genetic algorithms, and simulation techniques. These algorithms work on destination-based or flow-based routing techniques and mainly change the link weight system or try to select the best routes set upon K-routes routing table respectively to optimize network utilization. In this study, first a definition of the network routing optimization problem will be made. Then the heuristics to solve the problem will be discussed and finally an analysis of these heuristics will be made on sample network models. This thesis includes a discussion about the performance of different optimization heuristics working as a part of the centralized network load balancing systems.

Implementation and simulation of mc68hc11 microcontroller unit using systemc for co-design studies Tuncalı, Cumhur Erkan; Aşkar, Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) In this thesis, co-design and co-verification of a microcontroller hardware and software using SystemC is studied. For this purpose, an MC68HC11 microcontroller unit, a test bench that contains input and output modules for the verification of microcontroller unit are implemented using SystemC programming language and a visual simulation program is developed using C# programming language in Microsoft .NET platform. SystemC is a C++ class library that is used for co-designing hardware and software of a system...
Vision based obstacle detection and avoidance using low level image features Senlet, Turgay; Halıcı, Uğur; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) This study proposes a new method for obstacle detection and avoidance using low-level MPEG-7 visual descriptors. The method includes training a neural network with a subset of MPEG-7 visual descriptors extracted from outdoor scenes. The trained neural network is then used to estimate the obstacle presence in real outdoor videos and to perform obstacle avoidance. In our proposed method, obstacle avoidance solely depends on the estimated obstacle presence data. In this study, backpropagation algorithm on mult...
Multi-camera video surveillance : detection, occlusion handling, tracking and event recognition Akman, Oytun; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) In this thesis, novel methods for background modeling, tracking, occlusion handling and event recognition via multi-camera configurations are presented. As the initial step, building blocks of typical single camera surveillance systems that are moving object detection, tracking and event recognition, are discussed and various widely accepted methods for these building blocks are tested to asses on their performance. Next, for the multi-camera surveillance systems, background modeling, occlusion handling, tr...
Analysis of extended feature models with constraint programming Karataş, Ahmet Serkan; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) In this dissertation we lay the groundwork of automated analysis of extended feature models with constraint programming. Among different proposals, feature modeling has proven to be very effective for modeling and managing variability in Software Product Lines. However, industrial experiences showed that feature models often grow too large with hundreds of features and complex cross-tree relationships, which necessitates automated analysis support. To address this issue we present a mapping from extended fe...
Energy-efficient real-time coordination and routing framework for wireless sensor and actor networks Shah, Ghalib Asadullah; Bozyiğit, Müslim; Department of Computer Engineering (2007) In Wireless Sensor Actor Networks (WSANs), sensor nodes perform the sensing task and actor nodes take action based on the sensed phenomenon. The presence of actors in this configuration can not be benefited from, unless they are able to execute actions at right place and right time in the event region. The right place can be related to the accurate position of the sensor nodes. While, the right time is related to delivering the packets directly to the appropriate actors within the event specific response ti...
