We have used Cl (Continuous Integration) and various software testing techniques to achieve a robust C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) multi-platform system. Because of rapid changes in the C4ISR domain and in the software technology, frequent critical design adjustments and in turn vast code modifications or additions become inevitable. Defect fixes might also incur code changes. These unavoidable code modifications may put a big risk in the reliability of a mission critical system. Also, in order to stay competitive in the C4ISR market, a company must make recurring releases without sacrificing quality. We have designed and implemented an XML driven automated test framework that enabled us developing numerous high quality tests rapidly. While using Cl with automated software test techniques, we have aimed at speeding up the delivery of high quality and robust software by decreasing integration procedure, which is one of the main bottleneck points in the industry. This work describes how we have used Cl and software test techniques in a large-scaled, multi-platform, multi-language, distributed C4ISR project and what the benefits of such a system are.

Nowadays, many different Command and Control (C2) Systems and Sensor order to manage disasters effectively and achieve powerful surveillance, it is essential for C2 and Sensor Systems to cooperate and exchange timely available, reliable and intelligible information. Although globally accepted standards are used commonly in C2 and Sensor domains, there is no single specification of using these standards together for cooperation of disparate systems, which creates a crucial interoperability challenge. To addr...
Cyber Warfare Integration to Conventional Combat Modeling: A Bayesian Framework
Sengul, Zafer; Acartürk, Cengiz (2021-01-01)
© 2021 IEEE.Malware propagation is capable of introducing adverse effects in military operations since today's high-tech military weapons and command, control, and communication systems are essentially interconnected ICT systems. Conventional warfare models have been recently upgraded to include cyber warfare elements to reflect the potential influence of cyber-attacks. In the present study, we propose and evaluate a framework for modeling the integrated effect of the spread of malware through computer netw...
Synthesis of Monitoring Rules with STL
Aydin, Sertac Kagan; Aydın Göl, Ebru (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2020-09-01)
Online monitoring is essential to enhance the reliability for various systems including cyber-physical systems and Web services. During online monitoring, the system traces are checked against monitoring rules in real time to detect deviations from normal behaviors. In general, the rules are defined as boundary conditions by the experts of the monitored system. This work studies the problem of synthesizing online monitoring rules in the form of temporal logic formulas in an automated way. The monitoring rul...
Multilevel object tracking on big graph data using interval type-2 fuzzy systems in wireless multimedia sensor networks
Küçükkeçeci, Cihan; Yazıcı, Adnan; Department of Computer Engineering (2020)
Wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSN) are the key elements of automation systems applied in different domains from home security to immigrant surveillance at a border station. In most of the applications, sensor data needs to be processed for data analytics. However, the interpretation of raw sensor data and unveiling the information inside remains a challenging issue from many aspects. As the interval of the sensor data is frequent, data needs to be treated as big data because of the volume and veloci...
Real-time hardware-in-the-loop simulation of electrical machine systems using FPGAs
Üşenme, Serdar; Dilan, R.A.; Dölen, Melik; Koku, Ahmet Buğra (2009-11-18)
This study focuses on the development an integrated software and hardware platform that is capable of performing real-time simulation of dynamic systems, including electrical machinery, for the purpose of hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS). The system to be controlled is first defined using a block diagram editor. The defined model is then compiled and downloaded onto an FPGA (¿Field Programmable Gate Array¿) based hardware platform, which is to interface with the controller under test and carry out the...
