In large scale projects and organizations, standardization requirements in terms of customer documentations to integrate data created by different contractors or departments is a critical issue. Considerable amount of the defense system projects in Turkey are collaboration projects conveyed by leading actors in the industry. In this case, standardizing technical publications in terms of operators’ and maintenance manuals, illustrated parts catalogs and multimedia publications become harder and more complex to follow and integrate. S1000D (International Specification for Technical Publications utilizing a Common Source Database) standardize the generation, management, use and exchange of technical publications with high level flexibility and functionality. Therefore, to provide interoperability of data, S1000D needs to be considered as a guide for all international technical documentation procured by all of the contractors in a project. In this thesis study, we interviewed the employees in defense industry by analyzing a previous multi-organizational S1000D dependent project and collected their experiences and thoughts about the specification. Through those interviews, we combined the results according to the S1000D related categories we defined. Regarding the technical publication and customer documentation requirements depending on S1000D in a specific Defense Company in Turkey, our work will draw a map of process work flow by harmonizing the existing processes in terms of planning, organization, production, transfer, revision controls and modifications in an integrated work-flow.

E-cosmic: a business process model based functional size estimation approach Kaya, Mahir; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2010) The cost and effort estimation of projects depend on software size. A software product size is needed at as early a phase of the project as possible. Conventional Early Functional Size Estimation methods generate size at the early phase but result in subjectivity and unrepeatability due to manual calculation. On the other hand, automated Functional Size Measurement calculation approaches require constructs which are available in considerably late software development phases. In this study we developed an ap...
Evaluation and selection of case tools: a methodology and a case study Okşar, Koray; Okşar, Koray; Department of Information Systems (2010) Today’s Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) technology covers nearly all activities in software development ranging from requirement analysis to deployment.Organizations are evaluating CASE tool solutions to automate or ease their processes. While reducing human errors, these tools also increase control, visibility and auditability of the processes. However, to achieve these benefits, the right tool or tools should be selected for usage in the intended processes. This is not an easy task when the vas...
An approach for generating natural language specifications by utilizing business process models Coşkunçay, Ahmet; Arifoğlu, Ali; Yılal, Elif; Department of Information Systems (2010) Business process modeling is utilized by organizations for defining and reengineering their business processes. On the other hand, software requirements analysis activities are performed for determining the system boundaries, specifying software requirements using system requirements and resolving conflicts between requirements. From this point of view, these two activities are considered in different disciplines. An organization requiring its business processes to be defined and supported with information ...
Using gap analysis to improve system acceptance Russell, Bruce D.; Yilmaz, Mustafa R. (Informa UK Limited, 2006-09-01) The authors describe a user/customer needs gap model that can be used to develop a balanced approach to managing the gaps between business customer and end-user needs for new systems and the solutions that are deployed.
Context based interoperability to support infrastructure management in municipalities Tufan, Emrah; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2010) Interoperability between Geographic Information System (GIS) of different infrastructure companies is still a problem to be handled. Infrastructure companies deal with many operations as a part of their daily routine such as a regular maintenance, or sometimes they deal with unexpected situations such as a malfunction due to natural event, like a flood or an earthquake. These situations may affect all companies and affected infrastructure companies response to these effects. Responses may result in conseque...
