The number of mobile phone users in Turkey has already exceeded the number of households with the internet access. The presence of technologies which allowed more bandwidth and access from almost everywhere such as UMTS, Wi-Fi, or Wi-Max is putting a pressure on governments to enter into a new direction: m-government. As mobile phone penetration increases, its presence in the public sector is increasingly being viewed as inevitable. In this thesis, a strategic action plan model for the developing countries to achieve success in the development of m-government will be constructed. Meanwhile, critical success factors for Turkey are to be identified by a comparison of selected country cases. Moreoever, drivers and barriers for mobile government in Turkey and the affects of the demographic factors are examined by using the One-Way ANOVA and Pearson Chi-Square tests.

ARC: The analytical rate control scheme for real-time traffic in wireless networks
Akan, OB; Akyildiz, IF (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2004-08-01)
Next-generation wireless Internet (NGWI) is expected to provide a wide range of services including real-time multimedia to mobile users. However, the real-time multimedia traffic transport requires rate control deployment to protect shared Internet from unfairness and further congestion collapse. The transmission rate control method must also achieve high throughput and satisfy multimedia requirements such a delay or jitter bound. However, the existing solutions are mostly for the wired Internet, and hence,...
Data Analytics without Borders: Multi-Layered Insights for Syrian Refugee Crisis
Kılıç, Özgün Ozan; Işık, Oğuz; Günel Kılıç, Banu; Aydınoğlu, Arsev Umur; Sürer, Elif; Kalaycıoğlu, Sibel; Taşkaya Temizel, Tuğba (2019-01-21)
This study aims to shed light on various aspects of refugees’ lives in Turkey using mobile call data records of Türk Telekom, which is enriched with numerous local data sets. To achieve this, we made use of several techniques in addition to a novel methodology we developed for this particular domain. Our results showed that refugees are highly mobile as a survival strategy, a significant number of whom work as seasonal workers. Most prefer to live in relatively cheap neighborhoods, close to city transport l...
A novel method for the detection of P2P traffic in the network backbone inspired by intrusion detection systems
Soysal, Murat; Schmidt, Şenan Ece; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006)
The share of peer-to-peer (P2P) protocol in the total network traffic grows dayby- day in the Turkish Academic Network (UlakNet) similar to the other networks in the world. This growth is mostly because of the popularity of the shared content and the great enhancement in the P2P protocol since it first came out with Napster. The shared files are generally both large and copyrighted. Motivated by the problems of UlakNet with the P2P traffic, we propose a novel method for P2P traffic detection in the network ...
Efficient scheduling in distributed computing on grid
Kaya, Özgür; Bozyiğit, Müslim; Department of Computer Engineering (2006)
Today many computing resources distributed geographically are idle much of time. The aim of the grid computing is collecting these resources into a single system. It helps to solve problems that are too complex for a single PC. Scheduling plays a critical role in the efficient and effective management of resources to achieve high performance on grid computing environment. Due to the heterogeneity and highly dynamic nature of grid, developing scheduling algorithms for grid computing involves some challenges....
Energy- aware task scheduling over mobile ad hoc networks
Bokar, Ali; Bozyiğit, Müslim; Department of Computer Engineering (2009)
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) can be formed dynamically without the support of any existing infrastructure or any centralized administration. They consist of heterogeneous mobile nodes which are powered by batteries, move arbitrarily and are connected by wireless links. Battery energy limitation is one of the main challenges in the MANETs. Several hardware and software based techniques have been proposed in this field. Most of the previous studies have considered only the energy minimization of individual...
