Substantial savings from asset reuse result when the right assets are identified in the very early stages of a client engagement. Unfortunately, advanced identification approaches (known by having high precision and recall, such as behavior-based approaches) cannot be adopted in these early stages, because at these early stages, there is no many details nor much understanding about the client functional requirements. On the other hand, unstructured keyword-based identification approaches are known of having low precision and recall. To overcome this problem, we argue that assets descriptions should have explicit information about the business activities realized by the assets. To be able to capture this information in a machine understandable format, this paper proposes a model for describing reusable assets functional scopes using Component Business Maps (CBMs), in which the asset scope is represented as a hierarchy of CBM elements. Adopting this scope model, the paper proposes a rapid identification approach for reusable assets that retrieves assets based on their CBM projections. We believe the proposed approach provides better precision and recall when compared to unstructured keyword-based approaches.

Financial modelling with random bridge signals and forward information
Aydın, Nadi Serhan; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Constantinides, Anthony G.; Department of Financial Mathematics (2016)
In this thesis, we focus on modelling financial information flow, and information-based asset pricing. The fundamental properties of the framework under study are recovered in detail, after which a brief information-theoretic perspective is offered to quantify the information content of signals. A link to the existing literature on asymmetric information/belief equilibrium is established through a sequential auction model with heterogeneous signals. The effects of differential information on the allocation ...
Analysis of portfolio diversification between REIT assets
Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (2014-03-15)
REIT assets have gained recognizable attention in capital markets in recent decades and their development in time speaks of the impact of interaction among portfolios of REITs assets. This paper aims to analyze cointegration structure between and within different types of REITs and investigate the influence of cointegrated assets on portfolio indicators. A portfolio-optimization analysis is done based on the bivariate relationship among asset prices for the years 1995-2008. Uni and bidirectional causalities...
Modeling company failure: a longitudinal study of Turkish banks
İlk Dağ, Özlem; ÇİNKO, MURAT (2014-01-01)
Determining the factors related to the financial failure of a company is important. In this paper, we extend literature on bank failure prediction by modelling bank failures in Turkey from 1998 to 2000 using three statistical models combined with a principal component analysis on financial ratios. The three statistical models employed are a logistic regression, a logistic regression that takes serial correlation into account via generalized estimating equations and a marginalized transition model (MTM). Tim...
USTA: An Aspect-Oriented Knowledge Management Framework for Reusable Assets Discovery
Elgedawy, Islam (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2015-02-01)
Currently, companies apply existing asset discovery approaches in an ad hoc manner over asset repositories to find the right assets. To precisely identify the right assets, the discovery engine should acquire different types of knowledge regarding: (1) the created assets, (2) the involved application domains, (3) the adopted software ontologies, (4) the adopted matching approaches, and (5) users' contexts and goals. Then the discovery engine uses all these types of knowledge to find the right assets. Hence,...
Constant proportion portfolio insurance in defined contribution pension plan management
TEMOÇİN, BÜŞRA ZEYNEP; Korn, Ralf; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (2018-07-01)
We consider the optimal portfolio problem with minimum guarantee protection in a defined contribution pension scheme. We compare various versions of guarantee concepts in a labor income coupled CPPI-framework with random future labor income. Besides classical deterministic guarantees we also introduce path-dependent guarantees. To ensure that there is no bias in the comparison, we obtain the optimal CPPI-multiplier for each guarantee framework via using a classical stochastic control approach.
