Software products are tools that find more uses in the society every day, both professionally and in daily lives of members of the society. This thesis focuses on the problems and possibilities related to current software products. By analysis of the problems and current issues in the software field, possible contribution of a design-oriented approach to software products is explored. The thesis is supported by a study in the form of a semi-structured observation.

Users attitudes towards products: effects of ownership and software existance Işık, Erol; Erbuğ, Çiğdem; Department of Industrial Design (2007) Technological developments cause products to include more software which become a part of products and a determiner of product characteristics. Today’s way of life surrounded by technological developments caused users to engage in inevitable interaction with products. By means of that interaction, users’ way of meeting their needs and attitudes towards products shaped in both functional and emotional dimensions. Although users’ attitudes seem to be governing this process, the nature and the characteristics ...
On-demand conversation customization for services in large smart environments Elgedawy, I. (IBM, 2011-01-01) Services in large smart environments, as defined in this paper, are "aware" of their users' contexts and goals and are able to automatically interact with one another in order to achieve these goals. Unfortunately, interactions between services (i.e., service conversations) are not necessarily compatible, as services could have different interfaces (i.e., signature incompatibilities), as well as different logic for message ordering (i.e., protocol incompatibilities). Such conversation incompatibilities crea...
Modelling Energy Consumption of the Republic of Serbia using Linear Regression and Artificial Neural Network Technique Protic, Milan; Fathurrahman, Fahman; Raos, Miomir (Mechanical Engineering Faculty in Slavonski Brod, 2019-02-01) The objectives of the study are twofold. First, we aim to examine the most influential socio-economic indicators to explain energy consumption in Republic of Serbia. The second objective is to develop models that are able to predict the future energy consumption in the Republic of Serbia. This could be the first important step towards proper energy management in the country. Several potential socio-economic indicators are selected to be the independent variables. Regression analysis is conducted to select t...
Inference of switching networks by using a piecewise linear formulation Akçay, Didem; Öktem, Hakan; Department of Scientific Computing (2005) Inference of regulatory networks has received attention of researchers from many fields. The challenge offered by this problem is its being a typical modeling problem under insufficient information about the process. Hence, we need to derive the apriori unavailable information from the empirical observations. Modeling by inference consists of selecting or defining the most appropriate model structure and inferring the parameters. An appropriate model structure should have the following properties. The model...
Investigation of community of inquiry framework in regard to self-regulation, metacognition and motivation KİLİS, SELCAN; Yıldırım, Zahide (Elsevier BV, 2018-11-01) Following theoretical frameworks including social-cognitive theory, constructivism and creating collaborative learning community, this correlational study elucidates the community of inquiry framework in regard to self-regulation, metacognition, and motivation in an online learning setting. Data were collected from 1535 students enrolled to an online Information and Communication Technology-I course offered by the Department of Informatics at a well-known public university. The data were collected online th...
