Meral, Başak
In this work, a new visual and functional tool that is built to support new approaches for functional and non-functional parts of business process modeling is presented. The new tool, which is also capable of keeping numerical relationships between goals, is developed following an approach that helps to correlate business processes with goals. These goals and numerical relationships between goals make up a directed acyclic graph and they are represented as a Structured Equation Model graph. In order to obtain improved processes, Goal Question Metric approach is combined with BPMN and Goal Hierarchy. This makes the tool capable of supporting business process improvements.

An Effort Prediction Model Based on BPM Measures for Process Automation
Aysolmaz, Banu; Iren, Deniz; Demirörs, Onur (2013-06-18)
BPM software automation projects require different approaches for effort estimation for they are developed based on business process models rather than traditional requirements analysis outputs. In this empirical research we examine the effect of various measures for BPMN compliant business process models on the effort spent to automate those models. Although different measures are suggested in the literature, only a few studies exist that relate these measures to effort estimation. We propose that differen...
A cots-software requirements elicitation method from business process models
Aslan, Ercan; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2002)
In this thesis, COTS-software requirements elicitation, which is an input for RFP in software intensive automation system̕s acquisition, is examined. Business Process Models are used for COTS-software requirements elicitation. A new method, namely CREB, is developed to meet the requirements of COTS-software. A software intensive system acquisition of a military organization is used to validate the method.
A Novel Fuzzy Visual Object Classification Approach
Altintakan, Umit Lutfu; Yazıcı, Adnan; KOYUNCU, Murat (2012-06-15)
Support Vector Machines (SVMs) have been extensively used for visual object classification to bridge the semantic gap between the low level features and high level concepts. SVM treats each training input equally during the construction of its decision surface which results in poor learning machines if training data include outliers. In this paper, a novel fuzzy visual object classification approach utilizing Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs) in SVM is proposed. The experimental results show the effectiveness of ...
A Reflexion Model based Architecture Conformance Analysis Toolkit for OSGi-compliant Applications
Cilden, Evren; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S. (2017-04-07)
Component-based software platforms like OSGi facilitate the development of complex software. As software systems become more complicated, tool support is often a necessity for assuring the conformance between designed and implemented architectures. We present ARTOS, an architecture toolkit to facilitate the design and conformance analysis of the software running on the OSGi platform. The toolkit consists of an architecture editor and a conformance analyzer. The editor provides definition constructs specific...
An approach for eliciting functional requirements of the software intensive systems based on business process modeling
Yıldız, Okan; Güçlü, Nusret; Demirös, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2002)
In this thesis, eliciting system functional requirements based on business requirements during software intensive systems acquisition or development process is investigated and an approach is proposed for this purpose. Concepts and current problems within the framework of business requirements are investigated with a general literature review of requirements engineering and technology acquisition. Determination of requirements of IT system to be acquired according to the business objectives and base lining ...
