We have constructed a new, fast, robust and reliable pipeline to detect variable stars from the ROTSE-IIId archival data. Turkish share of ROTSE-III archive contains approximately one million objects from a large field of view (1.85 degrees) and it considerably covers a large portion of northern sky (delta > -25 degrees). The unfiltered ROTSE-III magnitude of the objects ranges from 7.7 to 16.9. The main stages of the new pipeline are as follows: Source extraction, astrometry of the objects, light curve generation and inhomogeneous ensemble photometry. A high performance computing (HPC) algorithm has also been implemented into the pipeline where we had a good performance even on a personal computer. Running the algorithms of the pipeline on a cluster decreases analysis time significantly from weeks to hours. The pipeline is especially tested against long period variable stars with periods of a few hundred days (e.g Mira and SR) and variables having periods starting from a few days to a few hundred days were detected.

Improving search result clustering by integrating semantic information from Wikipedia Çallı, Çağatay; Üçoluk, Göktürk; Şehitoğlu, Onur Tolga; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) Suffix Tree Clustering (STC) is a search result clustering (SRC) algorithm focused on generating overlapping clusters with meaningful labels in linear time. It showed the feasibility of SRC but in time, subsequent studies introduced description-first algorithms that generate better labels and achieve higher precision. Still, STC remained as the fastest SRC algorithm and there appeared studies concerned with different problems of STC. In this thesis, semantic relations between cluster labels and documents ar...
A P2P based failure detection model for distributed systems Kavuklu, Celal; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2006) A comprehensive failure detection model is proposed to detect service failures in asynchronous distributed systems. The proposed model takes advantage of P2P technology to provide required functionality. When compared to similar studies in failure detection, the presented failure detection model is more autonomous in resolving service dependencies, embodies more flexibility in providing different failure detection functions (like unreliable failure detectors, membership services) and offers more security. A...
A Fully automatic shape based geo-spatial object recognition Ergül, Mustafa; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012) A great number of methods based on local features or global appearances have been proposed in the literature for geospatial object detection and recognition from satellite images. However, since these approaches do not have enough discriminative capabilities between object and non-object classes, they produce results with innumerable false positives during their detection process. Moreover, due to the sliding window mechanisms, these algorithms cannot yield exact location information for the detected object...
Wave component sampling method for high performance pipelined circuits Sever, Refik; Aşkar, Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011) In all of the previous pipelining methods such as conventional pipelining, wave pipelining, and mesochronous pipelining, a data wave propagating on the combinational circuit is sampled whenever it arrives to a synchronization stage. In this study, a new wave-pipelining methodology named as Wave Component Sampling Method (WCSM), is proposed. In this method, only the component of a wave, whose maximum and minimum delay difference exceeds the tolerable value, is sampled, and the other components continue to pr...
Study on Q-RAM and Feasible Directions Based Methods for Resource Management in Phased Array Radar Systems Irci, Ayhan; Saranlı, Afşar; Baykal, Buyurman (2010-10-01) Our recent progress and results on optimal real-time resource allocation in phased array radar systems are reported. A previously proposed discrete resource allocation approach, the Quality of Service based Resource Allocation Model (Q-RAM), is analyzed and is observed to generate nonoptimal results. We identify the shortcomings of this method and first extend it using the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) optimality conditions for the single resource type case. We obtain an algorithm that delivers a globally optima...
