This thesis focuses on index and retrieval mechanism of an ontology based medical domain search engine. First, indexing techniques and retrieval methods are reviewed. Then, a special indexing and retrieval mechanism are introduced. This thesis also specifies the functional requirements of these mechanisms. Finally, an evaluation is given by indicating the positive and negative aspects of mechanisms.

A systematic study of probabilistic aggregation strategies in swarm robotic systems Soysal, Onur; Şahin, Erol; Department of Computer Engineering (2005) In this study, a systematic analysis of probabilistic aggregation strategies in swarm robotic systems is presented. A generic aggregation behavior is proposed as a combination of four basic behaviors: obstacle avoidance, approach, repel, and wait. The latter three basic behaviors are combined using a three-state finite state machine with two probabilistic transitions among them. Two different metrics were used to compare performance of strategies. Through systematic experiments, how the aggregation performa...
Data integration over horizontally partitioned databases in service-oriented data grids Sunercan, Hatice Kevser Sönmez; Çiçekli, Fehime Nihan; Alpdemir, Mahmut Nedim; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) Information integration over distributed and heterogeneous resources has been challenging in many terms: coping with various kinds of heterogeneity including data model, platform, access interfaces; coping with various forms of data distribution and maintenance policies, scalability, performance, security and trust, reliability and resilience, legal issues etc. It is obvious that each of these dimensions deserves a separate thread of research efforts. One particular challenge among the ones listed above tha...
Design and implementation of mobile patient data collection and transmission for an emergency ambulance Kösen, Emre; Mumcuoğlu, Ünal Erkan; Department of Information Systems (2004) In this thesis, a low-cost system, called Mobile Ambulance, is designed and implemented that provides patient̕s medical data collection and transmission from a moving ambulance. The aim of the system is to decrease the waiting time for critical care patients to be seen at the emergency department (ED) at the same time to equip the emergency physician with the essential medical data before the patient arrives the ED. Mobile Ambulance is a multi-tiered distributed application composed of three components: amb...
Improving search result clustering by integrating semantic information from Wikipedia Çallı, Çağatay; Üçoluk, Göktürk; Şehitoğlu, Onur Tolga; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) Suffix Tree Clustering (STC) is a search result clustering (SRC) algorithm focused on generating overlapping clusters with meaningful labels in linear time. It showed the feasibility of SRC but in time, subsequent studies introduced description-first algorithms that generate better labels and achieve higher precision. Still, STC remained as the fastest SRC algorithm and there appeared studies concerned with different problems of STC. In this thesis, semantic relations between cluster labels and documents ar...
Multi-resolution visualization of large scale protein networks enriched with gene ontology annotations Yaşar, Sevgi; Can, Tolga; Department of Computer Engineering (2009) Genome scale protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are interpreted as networks or graphs with thousands of nodes from the perspective of computer science. PPI networks represent various types of possible interactions among proteins or genes of a genome. PPI data is vital in protein function prediction since functions of the cells are performed by groups of proteins interacting with each other and main complexes of the cell are made of proteins interacting with each other. Recent increase in protein interactio...
