Okat, Çağlar
A semantic model oriented transformation mechanism is developed for the centralization of intra-enterprise data integration. Such a mechanism is especially crucial in the banking domain which is selected in this study. A new domain ontology is constructed to provide basis for annotations. A bottom-up approach is preferred for semantic annotations to utilize existing web service definitions. Transformations between syntactic web service XML responses and semantic model concepts are defined in transformation files. Transformation files are stored and executed in a separate central transformation repository to enhance abstraction and reusability. An RDF-Store is implemented to store transformed RDF data. Inference power of semantic model is exposed by executing semantic queries in the RDF-Store.

An approach for including business requirements to soa design
Ocaktürk, Murat; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
In this thesis, a service oriented decomposition approach: Use case Driven Service Oriented Architecture (UDSOA), is introduced to close the gap between business requirements and SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) design by including business use cases and system use cases into decomposition process. The approach is constructed upon Service Oriented Software Engineering (SOSE) modeling technique and aims to fill the deficits of it at the decomposition phase. Further, it aims to involve both business vision...
A test oriented service and object model for software product lines
Parlakol, Nazif Bülent; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
In this thesis, a new modeling technique is proposed for minimizing regression testing effort in software product lines. The “Product Flow Model” is used for the common representation of products in application engineering and the “Domain Service and Object Model” represents the variant based relations between products and core assets. This new approach provides a solution for avoiding unnecessary work load of regression testing using the principles of sub-service decomposition and variant based product/sub...
Natural language query processing in ontology based multimedia databases
Aygül, Filiz Alaca; Çiçekli, Fehime Nihan; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
In this thesis a natural language query interface is developed for semantic and spatio-temporal querying of MPEG-7 based domain ontologies. The underlying ontology is created by attaching domain ontologies to the core Rhizomik MPEG-7 ontology. The user can pose concept, complex concept (objects connected with an “AND” or “OR” connector), spatial (left, right . . . ), temporal (before, after, at least 10 minutes before, 5 minutes after . . . ), object trajectory and directional trajectory (east, west, southe...
Improvement of corpus-based semantic word similarity using vector space model
Esin, Yunus Emre; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Department of Computer Engineering (2009)
This study presents a new approach for finding semantically similar words from corpora using window based context methods. Previous studies mainly concentrate on either finding new combination of distance-weight measurement methods or proposing new context methods. The main di fference of this new approach is that this study reprocesses the outputs of the existing methods to update the representation of related word vectors used for measuring semantic distance between words, to improve the results further. ...
Modeling of software as a service architectures and investigation on their design alternatives
Öztürk, Karahan; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
In general, a common reference architecture can be derived for Software as a Service (SaaS) architecture. However, while designing particular applications one may derive various different application design alternatives from the same reference SaaS architecture specification. To meet the required functional and nonfunctional requirements of different enterprise applications it is important to model the possible design so that a feasible alternative can be defined. In this thesis, we propose a systematic app...
