In this thesis, a new reactive session reconstruction method 'Smart-SRA' is introduced. Web usage mining is a type of web mining, which exploits data mining techniques to discover valuable information from navigations of Web users. As in classical data mining, data processing and pattern discovery are the main issues in web usage mining. The first phase of the web usage mining is the data processing phase including session reconstruction. Session reconstruction is the most important task of web usage mining since it directly affects the quality of the extracted frequent patterns at the final step, significantly. Session reconstruction methods can be classified into two categories, namely 'reactive' and 'proactive' with respect to the data source and the data processing time. If the user requests are processed after the server handles them, this technique is called as ‘reactive’, while in ‘proactive’ strategies this processing occurs during the interactive browsing of the web site. Smart-SRA is a reactive session reconstruction techique, which uses web log data and the site topology. In order to compare Smart-SRA with previous reactive methods, a web agent simulator has been developed. Our agent simulator models behavior of web users and generates web user navigations as well as the log data kept by the web server. In this way, the actual user sessions will be known and the successes of different techniques can be compared. In this thesis, it is shown that the sessions generated by Smart-SRA are more accurate than the sessions constructed by previous heuristics.

A new technique : replace algorithm to retrieve a version from a repository instead of delta application
Otlu, Süleyman Onur; Coşar, Ahmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2004)
The thesis introduces a new technique that is an alternative method instead of applying deltas to literal file sequentially to retrieve a version from a repository. To my best knowledge; this is the first investigation about delta combination for copy/insert instruction type with many experimental results and conclusions. The thesis proves that the delta combination eliminates unnecessary I/O process for intermediate versions when delta application is considered, therefore reduces I/O time. Deltas are appli...
A business rule approach to requirements traceability
Narmanlı, Murat; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
In this thesis, a requirements traceability model is proposed in order to make efficient and effective change request impact analysis. The proposed model is a requirements – requirements traceability model. There are several researches regarding software requirements traceability problem. The main problem of these researches is that the proposed solutions can not be applied to software industry with affordable changes. However, current literature begins to see that describing all the software requirements i...
A method for concurrency control in distributed DBMSs: Permission Test Method
Halıcı, Uğur (Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 1987-01-09)
In this paper, a method for concurrency control in distributed DBMSs, called Permission Test Method is proposed. The PT method satisfies the basic requirements for concurrency control, that is, it executes the transactions in a serializable order, deadlocks do not appear and indefinite postponment is prevented by the method. In PT method, transactions, which are permitted to run, are not aborted unless a related site failure occurs. Furthermore, the complexity analysis indicates that the algorithm will work...
Visual composition component oriented development
Öztürk, Murat Mutlu; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2005)
This thesis introduces a visual composition approach for JavaBeans components, in compliance with the Component Oriented Software Engineering (COSE) process. The graphical modeling tool, COSECASE, is enhanced with the ability to build a system by integrating domain-specific components. Such integration is implemented by defining connection points and interaction details between components. The event model of the JavaBeans architecture is also added to the capabilities.
Systematic component-oriented development with axiomatic design
Toğay, Cengiz; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2008)
In this research, component oriented development is supported with design guidance by extending the Axiomatic Design Theory for component orientation, and utilizing domain engineering and ontology mechanisms. Guidance is offered in the form of suggesting missing components and discovering incompatibilities among the candidate elements of software development, corresponding to different phases such as requirement analysis, design, and implementation. A mature domain concept is developed suggesting the availa...
