Workload control (WLC) systems constitute a framework mainly for the inputoutput control systems which regulate both jobs̕ queues into the workshop and the flow of finished goods out of the workshop. This study is concerned with the job entry and release level of WLC which maintains a pool of unreleased jobs for the controlled release of jobs. While most of the studies in WLC concepts deal with the centralized workload control, our study decentralizes the job entry and release control and makes workstations more powerful in schedule decision making. Job̕s information is sent to the workstations by mediator which is the supervisor of the workstation. Both mediator and work stations are represented by agents in a distributed system. Jobs̕ routing information is assumed to be known in advance. The developed system is verified and validated by means of test runs. Results are analyzed as well.

Moving object identification and event recognition in video surveillance systems Örten, Burkay Birant; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) This thesis is devoted to the problems of defining and developing the basic building blocks of an automated surveillance system. As its initial step, a background-modeling algorithm is described for segmenting moving objects from the background, which is capable of adapting to dynamic scene conditions, as well as determining shadows of the moving objects. After obtaining binary silhouettes for targets, object association between consecutive frames is achieved by a hypothesis-based tracking method. Both of t...
Implementation of concurrent constraint transaction logic and its user interface Altunyuva, Fethi; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2006) This thesis implements a logical formalism framework called Concurrent Constraint Transaction Logic (abbr.,CCTR) which was defined for modeling and scheduling of workflows under resource allocation and cost constraints and develops an extensible and flexible graphical user interface for the framework. CCTR extends Concurrent Transaction Logic and integrates with Constraint Logic Programming to find the correct scheduling of tasks that involves resource and cost constraints. The developed system, which integ...
Generating motion-economical plans for manual operations Canan, Özgen; Birtürk, Ayşe Nur; Department of Computer Engineering (2005) This thesis discusses applying AI planning tools for generating plans for manual operations. Expertise of motion economy domain is used to select good plans among feasible ones. Motion economy is a field of industrial engineering, which deals with observing, reporting and improving manual operations. Motion economy knowledge is organized in principles regarding the sequences and characteristics of motions, arrangement of workspace, design of tools etc. A representation scheme is developed for products, work...
Performance analysis of stacked generalization Özay, Mete; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay; Department of Information Systems (2008) Stacked Generalization (SG) is an ensemble learning technique, which aims to increase the performance of individual classifiers by combining them under a hierarchical architecture. This study consists of two major parts. In the first part, the performance of Stacked Generalization technique is analyzed with respect to the performance of the individual classifiers and the content of the training data. In the second part, based on the findings for a new class of algorithms, called Meta-Fuzzified Yield Value (...
Comparison of rough multi layer perceptron and rough radial basis function networks using fuzzy attributes Vural, Hülya; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Department of Computer Engineering (2004) The hybridization of soft computing methods of Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural networks, Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural networks with back-propagation learning, fuzzy sets and rough sets are studied in the scope of this thesis. Conventional MLP, conventional RBF, fuzzy MLP, fuzzy RBF, rough fuzzy MLP, and rough fuzzy RBF networks are compared. In the fuzzy neural networks implemented in this thesis, the input data and the desired outputs are given fuzzy membership values as the fuzzy properties أlow...
