Shifts from centralized towards socially distributed knowledge production modes are having a great impact on many fields and reshaping the understanding of knowledge production. New paradigms in the sociology of knowledge challenge the notion of single authorship through distribution, and ultimately, by means of dissolution of authorship. Accordingly, the concepts of professional expertise and professionalism lose their previous significance by the blurring of long-held demarcations between expert and non-expert knowledge. The main motivation of this research is to study the way emergent modes of social construction, organization and distribution of knowledge affect the architectural discipline and its modes of practice. In this context, the knowledge ecosystem approach becomes prominent as it provides a new perspective to analyze knowledge assets in relation to knowledge communities, environments and the interactions between them. The main goal of this thesis is to define a knowledge ecosystem framework for architecture with a focus on the diversity of participants and the openness of the system. The use of formal language and methods are proposed as a common language in this regard. For this purpose, this thesis scrutinizes the actors in the architectural knowledge ecosystem under three different modes: single authorship, distributed authorship and dissolution of architectural authorship. It further discusses contributions of architectural knowledge ecosystems to design knowledge and issues related to the dissolution of architectural authorship through a detailed analysis of study-case projects from milestone conferences and exhibitions.

The effect of design patterns on object-oriented metrics and software error-proneness Aydınöz, Barış; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) This thesis study investigates the connection between design patterns, OO metrics and software error-proneness. The literature on OO metrics, design patterns and software error-proneness is reviewed. Different software projects and synthetic source codes have been analyzed to verify this connection.
On optimal resource allocation in phased array radar systems Ircı, Ayhan; Saranlı, Afşar; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) In this thesis, the problem of optimal resource allocation in real-time systems is studied. A recently proposed resource allocation approach called Q-RAM (Quality of Service based Resource Allocation Model) is investigated in detail. The goal of the Q-RAM based approaches is to minimize the execution speed in real-time systems while meeting resource constraints and maximizing total utility. Phased array radar system is an example of a system in which multiple tasks contend for multiple resources in order to...
Implementation of a risc microcontroller using fpga Gümüş, Raşit; Güran, Hasan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) In this thesis a microcontroller core is developed in an FPGA. Its instruction set is compatible with the microcontroller PIC16XX series by Microchip Technology. The microcontroller employs a RISC architecture with separate busses for instructions and data. Our goal in this research is to implement and evaluate the design in the FPGA. Increasing performance and gate capacity of recent FPGA devices permits complex logic systems to be implemented on a single programmable device. Such a growing complexity dema...
The implementation of a direct digital synthesis based function generator using SystemC and VHDL Kazancıoğlu, Uğur; Aşkar, Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) In this thesis, a direct digital synthesis (DDS) based function generator design module is presented, defined and implemented using two digital hardware modeling/design languages namely SystemC and VHDL. The simulation, synthesis and applicability performances of these two design languages are compared by following all digital hardware design stages. The advantages and open issues of SystemC based hardware design flow are emphasized in order to be a reference for future studies. SystemC initially appeared a...
Development of a tool for web based control engineering education Ciğeroğlu, Hüseyin; Yüksel, Önder; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004) It is obvious that learning is more productive with visual mediums and simulations. Especially in technical subjects, this approach is more important. Visual modification of parameters in a control system provides many benefits both in analyzing the system and in learning process. Additionally if this material is published on the internet, students can reach anywhere anytime to this material. This thesis describes a Web-based system developed for control engineering education for both the instructor and the...
