Ontology based semantic retrieval of video contents using metadata

Akpınar, Samet
The aim of this thesis is the development of an infrastructure which is used for semantic retrieval of multimedia contents. Motivated by the needs of semantic search and retrieval of multimedia contents, operating directly on the MPEG-7 based annotations can be thought as a reasonable way for meeting these needs as MPEG-7 is a common standard providing a wide multimedia content description schema. However, it is clear that the MPEG-7 formalism is deficient about the semantics and reasoning support. From this perspective, additionally, we need to represent MPEG-7 descriptions in a new formalism in order to fill the gap about semantics and reasoning. Then, the semantic web and multimedia technologies intercept at this point of multimedia semantics. In this thesis, OWL Web Ontology Language, which is based on description logic has been utilized to model a connection between the ontology semantics and video metadata. Modeling the domain of the videos using ontologies and the MPEG-7 descriptions, and reasoning on the videos by the help of the logical formalism of these ontologies are the main objectives of the thesis.

In this simulator study a file processing including the parsing of the assembler code and the compilation of the parsed instructions is studied. Also all the instruction execution process containing the cycle and instruction execution and the interrupt routine execution is observed th...
Mobile network traffic modelling
Çakmak, Yadigar; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004)
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the traffic patterns in the mobile data networks. In this work, a simple Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD) network was modeled in order to be used in simulations. For the purpose of using in the CDPD model, a synthetic bursty traffic model was produced and using different traffic patterns some performance investigations were made in CDPD network. During the whole work, OPNET simulation tool was used. The CDPD network modeled by OPNET simulation tool was compared wi...
ONTOLOGY-BASED DOMAIN ENGINEERING FOR TRAJECTORY SIMULATION REUSE
Durak, Umut; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Ider, S. Kemal (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2009-12-01)
We apply an ontology based knowledge and software reuse methodology adhering to domain engineering principles. Our domain is trajectory simulation. A trajectory simulation is a piece of software to calculate the flight path and other parameters of a munition, such as its orientation and angular rates, from launch to impact. Trajectory Simulation ONTology (TSONT) has been constructed as part of the domain analysis. Object oriented and function oriented reuse infrastructures have been built based upon TSONT f...
Test driven development of embedded systems

In this thesis, the Test Driven Development method (TDD) is studied for use in developing embedded software. The required framework is written for the development environment Rhapsody. Integration of TDD into a classical development cycle, without necessitating a transition to agile methodologies of software development and required unit test framework to apply TDD to an object oriented embedded software development project with a specific development environment and specific project conditions are done in ...
A Static analysis approach for service oriented software engineering (SOSE) designs
Çermikli, Can; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
In this thesis, a static analysis approach is introduced in order to develop correct business processes according to the Web Service Business Process Execution Language (WS-BPEL) specification. The modeling of the business processes are conducted with Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) which is a popular orchestrator of Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) based system through the description of workflow. This approach is also integrated to the Service Oriented Software Engineering (SOSE) design tec...
