In this thesis, a computer software for the cycle design of a turboshaft engine is developed. Firstly, a numerical air model was implemented and the model of the turboshaft to be used in the simulation was selected. The first requirement for the software is the capability of performing design point calculations and parametric studies. This feature, which is the initial part of an aircraft engine design, was integrated into the software. At this point, to have a better estimation of the component performances, basic efficiency estimation modules of compressor, combustor and turbines were developed and embedded into the code. After setting the design point of the engine, the software can give insight to the designer about operating at different points from the design point in the operating envelope of the aircraft. In order to accomplish the off-design performance estimations, the map scaling technique was used with the reference maps and matching of the components of the designed turboshaft was programmed with the Newton-Raphson iteration technique. In addition to the off-design performance estimations, the dynamic behavior (transient) estimation module of the software was developed. After all, a GUI (Graphical User Interface) was constructed for the use of each parts of the software in a “user-friendly” environment. The results of the code were compared with the engine performance data and the commercially available program “GasTurb11” in order to confirm the reliability of the software to perform preliminary engine design studies.

Investigation of the effects of structural characteristics of object-oriented software on fault-proneness
Gölcük, Halit; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
This study investigates the effects of structural characteristics of object-oriented software, which are observable at the model level of the software developed by means of Unified Modeling Language (UML), on software quality, assessing quality in terms of fault-proneness. In the scope of this thesis study, real-time embedded software components developed by Aselsan, a leading defense industry company in Turkey, were analyzed. The correlation between software metrics measured from the UML models of the soft...
Measurement based software process improvement
Ener, Aysun; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
This thesis is a study on improving the software requirements management processes of embedded software department of a company. The literature on software process improvement and requirements engineering is reviewed. After determining the problems related to the current requirements management processes of the department, an improved process is proposed addressing these problems. The static process descriptions and the models of the current and improved requirements management processes are formed. A recen...
Implementation and simulation of mc68hc11 microcontroller unit using systemc for co-design studies
Tuncalı, Cumhur Erkan; Aşkar, Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
In this thesis, co-design and co-verification of a microcontroller hardware and software using SystemC is studied. For this purpose, an MC68HC11 microcontroller unit, a test bench that contains input and output modules for the verification of microcontroller unit are implemented using SystemC programming language and a visual simulation program is developed using C# programming language in Microsoft .NET platform. SystemC is a C++ class library that is used for co-designing hardware and software of a system...
An Approach for introducing a set of domain specific components
Yiğit, İbrahim Onuralp; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2015)
In this thesis, a preliminary methodology is proposed for the determination of a set of components to populate the domain model of a Software Product Line infrastructure. Software Product Line based approaches focus on the reusability of assets for a family of software products. For effective reuse, the definition of reusable assets in this thesis considers variability in a domain. The approach is based on variability specifications that is rooted in Feature Models and is reflected to a component modeling n...
A simulation tool for mc6811
Sarıkan (Tuncer), Nazlı; Güran, Hasan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004)
The aim of this thesis study is to develop a simulator for an 8-bit microcontroller and the written document of this thesis study analyses the process of devoloping a software for simulating an 8 bit microcontroller, MC68HC11. In this simulator study a file processing including the parsing of the assembler code and the compilation of the parsed instructions is studied. Also all the instruction execution process containing the cycle and instruction execution and the interrupt routine execution is observed th...
