In recent years, there has been an increased interest in the integration of different technologies in heterogeneous environments. Modelling heterogeneous systems is a complex task and handover schemes should consider issues such as network coverage, mobility, and Quality of Service (QoS). Analytical models are useful to deal with this complexity. This paper presents a generic framework to model handover in heterogeneous environments for performance evaluation of different handover schemes. The model developed considers mobility of the users, coverage radius of the networks as well as decision making probabilities about handover between the two networks. The interaction between cellular mobile technologies is considered and handover between a WLAN and a cellular system is analysed using the proposed model. Two stage open networks can be used to model this kind of integrated systems. The cellular mobile technologies are modelled as a multi-channel queuing system while the WLAN is depicted as a single channel queuing system, both with finite buffers. The exact spectral expansion method is employed to solve the models. Simulation is also employed for the proposed systems and used for validation of the accuracy of the proposed models. Numerical results are presented for mean queue length and blocking probabilities for each system. The results of this study show that QoS measures of such systems can be evaluated efficiently and accurately, using the proposed analytical model and its solution. In addition, it can be used as a framework in heterogeneous environments and can also be adapted to various types of networks in interaction.

A Novel Interactive Fuzzy Programming Approach for Optimization of Allied Closed-Loop Supply Chains Calik, Ahmet; YAPICI PEHLİVAN, NİMET; PAKSOY, TURAN; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (2018-01-01) In recent years, the relationship between companies and suppliers has changed with the continuous rise in environmental awareness and customer expectations. In order to fulfill customers' needs, the actors in a Supply Chain (SC) network sometimes compete and sometimes cooperate with each other. In SC management, both competitive and collaborative strategies have become important and have required different points of view. In a collaborative environment, companies should strive for common targets with mutual...
A singular value decomposition approach for recommendation systems Osmanlı, Osman Nuri; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) Data analysis has become a very important area for both companies and researchers as a consequence of the technological developments in recent years. Companies are trying to increase their profit by analyzing the existing data about their customers and making decisions for the future according to the results of these analyses. Parallel to the need of companies, researchers are investigating different methodologies to analyze data more accurately with high performance. Recommender systems are one of the most...
A deep learning approach for the transonic flow field predictions around airfoils Duru, Cihat; Alemdar, Hande; Baran, Özgür Uğraş (2022-01-01) Learning from data offers new opportunities for developing computational methods in research fields, such as fluid dynamics, which constantly accumulate a large amount of data. This study presents a deep learning approach for the transonic flow field predictions around airfoils. The physics of transonic flow is integrated into the neural network model by utilizing Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) simulations. A detailed investigation on the performance of the model is made both qualitatively and quant...
A MULTI OBJECTIVE MODEL FOR OPTIMIZATION OF A GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN NETWORK PAKSOY, TURAN; Ozceylan, Eren; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (2010-02-04) This study develops a model of a closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) network which starts with the suppliers and recycles with the decomposition centers. As a traditional network design, we consider minimizing the all transportation costs and the raw material purchasing costs. To pay attention for the green impacts, different transportation choices are presented between echelons according to their CO2 emissions. The plants can purchase different raw materials in respect of their recyclable ratios. The focuses o...
A process model for component-oriented software engineering Doğru, Ali Hikmet (2003-03-01) The investigation of reuse has a long history, eventually maturing into the "build by integration" paradigm. Meanwhile, component technologies also improved along with engineering practices. What is missing is a methodology that uses components within such a paradigm, thus bridging the gap. The authors propose a model devoted to complete component orientation, rather than modifying object-oriented approaches to accommodate components. They investigate component-based technologies to address new needs and, c...
