The development of information technologies (IT) in recent years has started to affect the daily routines of the people. These technologies have changed the way that the things are done. One of these technologies is Electronic Document Management System. Considering the increasing amount of documents needed for the institutions, it could be said that there was a need for a system to manage this complexity. However, usability of such technologies depend on the people who would use the system. Usability problems of such systems and websites have been an important topic for Human Computer Interaction. In this study, usability tests were conducted about Middle East Technical University’s Electronic Document Management System. The main purpose of this study is to conduct three-step usability tests using eye tracker device and questionnaires and offer recommendations that would refine the problematic issues by analyzing the obtained data. Several usability issues were identified with the results of the study. Recommendations for further development were offered based on the findings of the study. There were two main usability issues identified. These issues were complexity and inconsistency of the system. For the solution of these problems it is recommended that the home page of the system should be simplified and the actions to be taken on a document should show consistency.

A study for the requirements of a quality maturity framework for it facilities in organizations: a case for quality assessment in Turkish institutions Oray, Emre; Arifoğlu, Ali; Department of Information Systems (2010) Nowadays, almost all organizations use information technologies (IT) in some extent that they have gained many advantages from it. However, the wrong management of IT processes may cause big problems for organizations. It is first required to reach the quality to successfully govern IT and its processes. At this point, it is essential to have a quality maturity framework that organizations could use to follow a logical path in achieving quality. This thesis represents a study for determining the general qua...
E-government adoption model based on theory of planned behavior: empirical investigation Kanat, İrfan Emrah; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi; Department of Information Systems (2009) The e-government phenomena has become more important with the ever increasing number of implementations world wide. A model explaining the e-government adoption and the related measurement instrument a survey had been developed and validated in this study. In a post technology acceptance model (TAM) approach, theory of planned behavior (TPB) was extended to t the requirements of e-government context. The adoption of student loans service of the higher education student loans and accommodation association...
A Case for Societal Digital Security Culture BEN OTHMANE, Lotfi; WEFFERS, Harold; RANCHAL, Rohit; Angın, Pelin; BHARGAVA, Bharat; MOHAMAD, Mohd M (2013-07-10) Information and communication technology systems, such as remote health care monitoring and smart mobility applications, have become indispensable parts of our lives. Security vulnerabilities in these systems could cause financial losses, privacy/safety compromises, and operational interruptions. This paper demonstrates through examples, that technical security solutions for these information systems, alone, are not sufficient to protect individuals and their assets from attacks. It proposes to complement (...
A model for instructors' adoption of learning management systems: Empirical Validation in higher education context Findik Coşkunçay, Duygu; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2013-04-01) Through the rapid expansion of information technologies, Learning Management Systems have become one of the most important innovations for delivering education. However, successful implementation and management of these systems are primarily based on the instructors' adoption. In this context, this study aims to understand behavioral intentions of higher education instructors towards Learning Management Systems and further to identify the influencing factors. A multidimensional research model has been propo...
A Study on the Efficacy of Deep Reinforcement Learning for Intrusion Detection GÜLMEZ, HALİM GÖRKEM; Angın, Pelin (2021-04-01) The world has witnessed a fast-paced digital transformation in the past decade, giving rise to all-connected environments. While the increasingly widespread availability of networks has benefited many aspects of our lives, providing the necessary infrastructure for smart autonomous systems, it has also created a large cyber attack surface. This has made real-time network intrusion detection a significant component of any computerized system. With the advances in computer hardware architectures with fast, hi...
