One of the challenging issues for mobile ad hoc network (MANET) applications is data replication. Unreliable wireless communication, mobility of network participators and limited resource capacities of mobile devices make conventional replication techniques useless for MANETs. Frequent network divisions and unexpected disconnections should be handled. In this thesis work, a novel mobility and power aware, data interest based data replication strategy is presented. Main objective is to improve data accessibility among a mission critical mobility group. A clustering approach depending on mobility and data interest patterns similarities is introduced. The investigated replica allocation methodology takes care of data access frequency and data correlation values together with mobile nodes’ remaining energy and memory capacities. Performance of the proposed approach is analyzed in terms of data accessibility; cache hit ratio and traffic metrics. Improvements are observed by data interest based clustering in addition to mobility awareness over sole mobility aware clustering. Advantages of power aware replica allocation are demonstrated by experimental simulations.

Semantically enriched web service composition in mobile environments
Ertürkmen, K. Alpay; Doğaç, Asuman; Department of Information Systems (2003)
Web Services are self-contained, self-describing, modular applications that can be published, located, and invoked through XML artefacts across the Web. Web services technologies can be applied to many kinds of applications, where they offer considerable advantages compared to the old world of product-specific APIs, platform-specific coding, and other أbrittleؤ technology restrictions. Currently there are millions of web services available on the web due to the increase in e-commerce business volume. Web se...
Semantic processes for constructing composite web services
Kardaş, Karani; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2007)
In Web service composition, service discovery and combining suitable services through determination of interoperability among different services are important operations. Utilizing semantics improves the quality and facilitates automation of these operations. There are several previous approaches for semantic service discovery and service matching. In this work, we exploit and extend these semantic approaches in order to make Web service composition process more facilitated, less error prone and more automa...

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...

This thesis reviews the software acquisition models and management tools used for managing, tracking and planning the acquisition projects all around the world. Then the requirements of Turkish Land Forces Command (TLFC) for a project management tool are considered. Features of a project management tool that is suitable for TLFC are determined through the ideas of TLFC personnel of IS department. After evaluation of selected tools through the requirements of TLFC the best one is presented. Then an interface...
Natural language interface on a video data model
Erözel, Güzen; Çiçekli, Fehime Nihan; Department of Computer Engineering (2005)
The video databases and retrieval of data from these databases have become popular in various business areas of work with the improvements in technology. As a kind of video database, video archive systems need user-friendly interfaces to retrieve video frames. In this thesis, an NLP based user interface to a video database system is developed using a content-based spatio-temporal video data model. The data model is focused on the semantic content which includes objects, activities, and spatial properties of...
