Services in large smart environments, as defined in this paper, are "aware" of their users' contexts and goals and are able to automatically interact with one another in order to achieve these goals. Unfortunately, interactions between services (i.e., service conversations) are not necessarily compatible, as services could have different interfaces (i.e., signature incompatibilities), as well as different logic for message ordering (i.e., protocol incompatibilities). Such conversation incompatibilities create obstacles for achieving semantic interoperability of services. One approach for handling conversation incompatibilities is to use conversation adapters, which should be created automatically by the middleware in order to be able to support on-demand conversation customization. Existing approaches for automatic adapter generation are strictly limited as they require no changes at the interface level. To overcome such a limitation, this paper proposes a novel ontology-based context-sensitive approach for automatic adapter generation. This approach captures the aggregate conditional substitution semantics of application-domain concepts in a context-based manner and uses these semantics to determine the mappings between the different conversation messages and to generate the corresponding conversion functions. The proposed approach ensures service semantic interoperability and increases the chances for service reuse, which consequently improves the efficiency of the smart environment.

Quantifying Uncertainty in Internet of Medical Things and Big-Data Services Using Intelligence and Deep Learning Al-Turjman, Fadi; Zahmatkesh, Hadi; Mostarda, Leonardo (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-01-01) In the cloud-based Internet of Things (IoT) environments, quantifying uncertainty is an important element input to keep the acceptable level of reliability in various configurations. In this paper, we aim to address the pricing model of delivering data over the cloud while taking into consideration the dynamic uncertainty factors such as network topology, transmission/reception energy, nodal charge and power, and computation capacity. These uncertainty factors are mapped to different nodes with varying capa...
An assessment and analysis tool for statistical process control of software process Kırbaş, Serkan; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2007) Statistical process control (SPC) which includes very powerful techniques used in other mature engineering disciplines for providing process control is not used by many software organizations. In software engineering domain, SPC is currently utilized only by organizations which have high maturity levels according to the process improvement models like CMM, ISO/IEC 15504 and CMMI. Guidelines and software tools to implement SPC techniques should be developed for effective use and dissemination of SPC especial...
SIMULATION CONCEPTS FOR INFORMATION-SYSTEM MOURANT, RR; Tarı, Zehra Sibel (Elsevier BV, 1993-09-01) Recent Improvements in document image systems and their low-cost implementation on networks of microcomputers is leading to the reengineering of many information systems. We describe how document image systems can be applied to information systems. In order to compare the performance of a conventional information system with one implemented with document imaging processing capability we conducted a discrete event simulation. We modeled the conventional information system for processing graduate student ...
Optimal scope of work for international integrated systems Ertem, Mustafa Alp; Serpil, Canan; Department of Industrial Engineering (2005) This study develops a systems integration project scheduling model which identifies the assignment of activity responsibilities that minimizes expected project implementation cost, considering the project risk. Assignment of resources to the individual jobs comprising the project is a persistent problem in project management. Mostly, skilled labor is an essential resource and both the time and the cost incurred to perform a job depend on the resource to which job is assigned. A systems integration project i...
Investigation of community of inquiry framework in regard to self-regulation, metacognition and motivation KİLİS, SELCAN; Yıldırım, Zahide (Elsevier BV, 2018-11-01) Following theoretical frameworks including social-cognitive theory, constructivism and creating collaborative learning community, this correlational study elucidates the community of inquiry framework in regard to self-regulation, metacognition, and motivation in an online learning setting. Data were collected from 1535 students enrolled to an online Information and Communication Technology-I course offered by the Department of Informatics at a well-known public university. The data were collected online th...
