Flash Memories have been widely used as a storage media in electronic devices such as USB flash drives, mobile phones and cameras. Flash Memory offers a portable and non-volatile de- sign, which can be carried to everywhere without data loss. It is durable against temperature and humidity. With all these advantages, Flash Memory gets popular day by day. However, Flash Memory has also some disadvantages, such as erase-before restriction and erase limi- tation of each individual block. Erase-before restriction pushes every single writable unit to be erased before an update operation. Another limitation is that every block can be erased up to a fixed number. Flash Translation Layer - FTL is the solution for these disadvantages. Flash Translation Layer is a software module inside the Flash Memory working between the operating system and the memory. FTL tries to reduce these disadvantages of Flash Memory via implementing garbage collector, address mapping scheme, error correcting and many oth- ers. There are various Flash Translation Layer software. Some of them have been reviewed in terms of their advantages and disadvantages. The study aims at designing, implementing and simulating a NAND type FTL algorithm.

Fuzzy spatial data cube construction and its use in association rule mining
Işık, Narin; Yazıcı, Adnan; Department of Computer Engineering (2005)
The popularity of spatial databases increases since the amount of the spatial data that need to be handled has increased by the use of digital maps, images from satellites, video cameras, medical equipment, sensor networks, etc. Spatial data are difficult to examine and extract interesting knowledge; hence, applications that assist decision-making about spatial data like weather forecasting, traffic supervision, mobile communication, etc. have been introduced. In this thesis, more natural and precise knowle...
A VERSATILE MICROCOMPUTER INTERFACE AND PERIPHERAL DEVICES - AN APPLICATION IN DEUTERIUM LAMP BACKGROUND CORRECTION GRAPHITE-FURNACE ATOMIC-ABSORPTION SPECTROMETRY
GOKMEN, A; YALCIN, S (1992-01-01)
A versatile interface card for Apple IIe computer and various peripheral devices are designed to control instruments which generates transient signals like in graphite furnace atomic spectrometer. The interface card consists of a multiplexed analog-to-digital converter, a digital-to-analog converter, and a timer/counter chip. The timer/counter chip with 16 built-in registers can be programmed in many modes which provides a time base for real-time measurements. A stepper motor runs under the control of ti...
Design and implementation of a monitoring framework
Kuz, Kadir; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2009)
In this thesis work, the symptoms in Windows XP operating system for fault monitoring are investigated and a fault monitoring library is developed. A test GUI is implemented to examine this library. Performance tests including memory and CPU usage are done to see its overhead to the system and platform tests on the current version of Windows operating system series (Windows Vista) are done to see for compatibility. In this thesis, fault monitor-fault detector interface is also defined and implemented. To mo...
A Software quality model for android applications
Şimşek, Merve Vildan; Betin Can, Aysu; Department of Information Systems (2016)
Nowadays mobile devices have become increasingly widespread. It causes mobile applications number to grow dramatically. As the popularity of these systems is predicted to continue its increase in the near future, the importance of the quality of mobile applications increases. The aim of this study is to present a quality model for Android applications. We chose applications developed for Android Operating System as our target because of its prevalence in the mobile market. To achieve the aim of the study, w...
Developing jxta applications for mobile devices and invoking web services deployed in jxta platform from mobile devices
Bahadır, Mesut; Doğaç, Asuman; Department of Computer Engineering (2004)
Today, Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing and Web Services play an important role in networking and computing. P2P computing, that aims addressing all the resources in a network and sharing them, is an old paradigm that gains importance nowadays with the advent of popular file sharing and instant messaging applications. On the other hand, a Web service is a software system that has an interface allowing applications to interact with other applications through Internet or intranet. Providing methods for publishing...
