Engineering of modern embedded systems requires complex technical, managerial and operational processes. To cope with the complexity, modeling is a commonly used approach in the embedded software industry. The modeling approaches in embedded software vary since the characteristics of modeling such as purpose, medium type and life cycle phase differ among systems and industrial sectors. The objective of this paper is to detail the use of a characterization model MAPforES ("Modeling Approach Patterns for Embedded Software"). This paper presents the results of applying MAPforES in multiple case studies. The applications are performed in three sectors of the embedded software industry: defense and aerospace, automotive and transportation, and consumer electronics. A series of both structured and semi-structured interviews with 35 embedded software professionals were conducted as part of the case studies. The characterization model was successfully applied to these cases. The results show that identifying individual patterns provides insight for improving both individual behavior and the behavior of projects and organizations.

Using collaboration diagrams in component oriented modelin Tuncel, Mehmet Burhan; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2006) Component Oriented Software Engineering (COSE) seems to be the future of software engineering. Currently, COSEML is the only modeling language that completely supports the COSE approach. Abstract decomposition of the system and their representing components are shown in a hierarchy diagram to support the COSE process model. In COSEML, only static modeling is supported through this single diagram. However, software is about behavior and static modeling is not sufficient to describe the system. The aim of thi...
On the use of model-driven engineering principles for the management of simulation experiments Dayibas, Orcun; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Yilmaz, Levent (Informa UK Limited, 2019-04-03) Simulation experiments are an essential part of computational science and engineering. The use of simulation models is widely adopted by practitioners from diverse areas of applied sciences. Nevertheless, simulations are rarely replicated due to reuse and maintenance challenges related to models and data. In this respect, we propose that crucial and labor intensive parts of simulation experiments could be supported by model transformations. This work focuses on model-driven engineering practices to enable r...
Modeling and code generation for a reference software architecture for naval platform command and control systems Turhan, Naﬁye Kübra; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Department of Computer Engineering (2017) Many software teams who work in a particular domain develop software products compliant with a specific Reference Software Architecture. By adopting a Reference Software Architecture within an organization, software development schedule tend to shorten, efficiency of software development process and quality of software product tend to increase. Architectures of all application software that are developed by Sea Defense Systems Software Team are created based on a predefined Reference Software Architecture n...
Modeling heterogeneous internet of things systems using connectors in component oriented software engineering Ünal, Selin; Dogru, Ali H.,; Department of Computer Engineering (2019) In this thesis a solution for modeling heterogeneous IoT applications in component oriented software engineering is provided by using software connectors. IoT is interconnected devices or humans in the means of internet which gains more importance day by day in different areas of the world. This kind of powerful and complex systems have challenges to overcome in nature. Each IoT system component has specific set of rules for communicating with the other components. In order to be able to communicate, compon...
Variable connectors in component oriented development Çetinkaya, Anıl; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2017) Variability is incorporated in component oriented software development especially in the connectors besides components, for efficient configuration of software products in this thesis. Components have been regarded as the main building blocks in the development of software, especially in component based approaches. Connectors, however, were also part of the solution but with not much of a responsibility when compared to components. When considered in a holistic approach to yield executable code starting wit...
