To cope with growing complexity of embedded software, modeling has become popular. The usage of models in embedded software industry and the relevant practices usually vary since the purposes of diagram development and usage differ. Since a large variety of software modeling practices used in embedded software industry, it is important to understand its state-of-the-practice and its usage degree while investigating the relations between its attributes (e.g., modeling rigor, purpose, code correspondence, stakeholder, medium used while modeling, etc). To achieve this, we have designed and conducted a survey in our earlier work. In this paper, we present a conceptual model of development and usage for software modeling that is based on the findings of this survey and incorporates expert opinions. The conceptual model, which characterizes the attributes of a diagram development and usage, will help to express the meaning of terms used by domain experts to discuss the problems and find the relationships between these attributes

An evaluation of aspect oriented programming for embedded real-time systems
Kartal, Yusuf Bora; Schmidt, Şenan Ece (2007-12-01)
Crosscutting concerns are the issues in object- oriented programming (OOP) that cannot be modularized within a software module. In this paper, an experimental evaluation of the use of aspect-oriented programming (AOP) for the implementation of crosscutting concerns in embedded real-time systems is presented. The crosscutting functionality of the project under study is realized both by employing OOP and AOP techniques to make a comparison between the two programming paradigms. These two implementations are e...
Analysis of graph and text representation techniques for news recommendation and news classification
Ağrıman, Mustafa; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2022-2-07)
Developments in computer science leads to increase in the use of software applications in all areas of life. This also causes an increase in data usage. Applications using textual data involves tasks such as finding similarities between texts, detecting events from texts, and classifying texts. However, using graphs and graph vectors can be more successful than textual methods of representing textual information, due to capability to express additional features and complex relationships in graph structure. ...
Modeling patterns and cultures of embedded software development projects
Akdur, Deniz; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2018)
Due to their multiple constraints across different dimensions of performance and quality, the analysis, design, implementation and testing of software-intensive embedded systems are not trivial, which makes their development more challenging. To cope with these growing complexities, modeling is a widely used approach in this industry. However, the modeling approaches in embedded software vary since the characteristics of diagram development and usage (e.g., purpose, modeling rigor, medium type used, modelin...
An Ontology based approach to requirements reuse problem in software product lines
Karataş, Elif Kamer; Birtürk, Ayşenur; Department of Computer Engineering (2012)
With new paradigms in software engineering such as Software Product Lines, scope of reuse is enlarged from implementation upto design, requirements, test-cases, etc. In this thesis an ontology-based approach is proposed as a solution to systematic requirement reuse problem in software product lines, and the approach is supported with a reuse automation tool. A case study is performed on the projects of an industrial software product line using hereby proposed solution and then based on the evaluated metrics...
Evaluation of Agility Assessment Tools: A Multiple Case Study
Adali, Onat Ege; Özcan Top, Özden; Demirors, Onur (2016-06-10)
Agile software development has been one of the most important paradigms of software engineering community. Agile methods that are shaped around Agile Manifesto and principles, provide promising results when applied properly in software organizations. Agile assessment models and tools have potential to indicate agile adoption problems at project level or organization level. In the scope of this study, we identified 37 agility assessment tools. Among those tools, we evaluated 11 agility assessment tools based...
