Databases and database technology have become an essential component of everyday life in modern society. As databases are widely used in every organization with a computer system, control of data resources and management of data are very important. Database Management System (DBMS) is the most significant tool developed to serve multiple users in a database environment consisting of programs that enable users to create and maintain a database. Windows Distributed Internet Applications (DNA) architecture describes a framework of building software technologies together in an integrated web and client-server model of computing. This thesis focuses on development of a general database management system, for small and medium sized manufacturing enterprises, by using Windows DNA technology. Defining, constructing and manipulating institutional, commercial and operational data of the company is the main frame of the work. And also by integrating أOptimizationؤ and أAgentؤ system components which were previously developed in Middle East Technical University, Mechanical Engineering Department, Computer Integrated Manufacturing Laboratory (METUCIM) into the SME DBMS, a unified information system is developed. أOptimizationؤ system was developed in order to calculate optimum cutting conditions for turning and milling operations. أAgentؤ system was implemented to control and send work orders to the available manufacturing cell in METUCIM. The components of these systems are redesigned to share a unique database together with the newly developed أSME Information Systemؤ application program in order to control data redundancy and to provide data sharing and data integrity.

Project management and use of information technology for project communication management in Turkish electronic sector Tuncer, Şeniz; Erdil, Erkan; Department of Science and Technology Policy Studies (2004) In this study, Project Management, especially Project Communication Management applications and use of information technology are scrutinized. The general situation of Turkish electronic sector is investigated. The project management applications and closeness to new technologies of companies that operates in Turkish electronic sector are analyzed. A research model is developed with a designed questionnaire, and the levels of project communication management applications and use of interactive communication...
Design and implementation of index structures for fuzzy spatial databases Sozer, Aziz; Yazıcı, Adnan (2007-07-01) Over the years database management systems have evolved to include spatially referenced data. Because spatial data are complex and have a number of unique constraints (i.e., spatial components and uncertain properties), spatial database systems can be effective only if the spatial data are properly handled at the physical level. Therefore, it is important to develop an effective spatial and aspatial indexing technique to facilitate flexible spatial and/or aspatial querying for such databases. For this purpo...
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...
Identifying the effects of education, activities and skills of information technology (it) senior managers and their impact to the organization in the private sector Ekimci, Namık Atila; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi; Department of Information Systems (2009) Information Technology (IT) is considered as a very important part of today’s world of business and researches indicate that it helped and still helps companies to lower their costs and increase the information quality with speed. On the other hand, Senior IT Managers, such as Chief Information Officers (CIO) roles are very important in the IT department more than other department’s relationships with their senior managers. This study investigates the identification of the effects and importance of the acti...
Development of a risk assessment tool for post-project appraisal Anaç, Caner; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2007) As competition in the business environment increases, knowledge management becomes a critical success factor. Firms should be able to gather, analyze and reuse knowledge to support their strategic decisions. Construction firms should also analyze information in hand (completed and on going project data) and make it a part of their learning mechanism. Post-project appraisal is an organizational learning mechanism aiming to form an organizational memory. Organizational memory is a remedy for organizational am...
