We present a case study where a mission-critical legacy hierarchical database, EWIRDB (Electronic Warfare Integrated Reprogramming Database), and its application software are migrated onto a service-oriented web architecture that is based on an XML-based database. EWIRDB stores its data in an extensible tree structure and serves many purposes of supporting EW systems reprogramming, research, development, test, and evaluation; modeling, and simulation, acquisition; and training. We present the historical stages of this migration that helped us to understand the issues and converge to the most appropriate solution eventually. We conclude that recently emerging web service technologies together with native XML database support meet the unique migration requirements of the EWIRDB and its legacy database application. We believe that the proposed solution addresses an almost 20-year old problem in the EW domain problem and forms an appropriate base for porting some other applications with similar requirements in other domains. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.

An intelligent fuzzy object-oriented database framework for video database applications
Özgür, Nezihe Burcu; Yazıcı, Adnan; Department of Computer Engineering (2007)
Video database applications call for flexible and powerful modeling and querying facilities, which require an integration or interaction between database and knowledge base technologies. It is also necessary for many real life video database applications to incorporate uncertainty, which naturally occurs due to the complex and subjective semantic content of video data. In this thesis study, firstly, a fuzzy conceptual data model is introduced to represent the semantic content of video data. UML (Unified Mod...

A Cloud Based Workflow for a Finite Element Analysis Preprocessor
Kurt, Tolga; Arıcı, Yalın; Kurç, Özgür (2015-03-24)
This paper presents a cloud based workflow and a software implementation that has a web-based GUI and a modular backend server which consists of an interface and many worker applications that are distributed over a network of computers or virtual machines. The implemented software is capable of three-dimensional modelling, mesh generation and analysis of large dam models using finite element and analysis. Visualization is performed with a web browser using the JavaScript library three.js which drives the We...
A certificate based authentication control model using smart mobile devices for ubiquitous computing environments
Çavdar, Davut; Eren, Pekin Erhan; Department of Information Systems (2011)
In this thesis work, a certificate based authentication model supported by mobile devices is provided for ubiquitous computing environments. The model primarily aims to create an infrastructure for controlling and regulating access requests through mobile devices to local resources and services. The model also allows users from different domains to use local resources and services within the scope of agreements between domains. In addition to conceptual description of the model, a real prototype implementat...
Creating application security layer based on resource access decision service
Metin, Mehmet Özer; Şener, Cevat; Department of Computer Engineering (2007)
Different solutions have been used for each security aspects (access control, application security) to secure enterprise web applications. However combining "enterprise-level" and "application-level" security aspects in one layer could give great benefits such as reusability, manageability, and scalability. In this thesis, adding a new layer to n-tier web application architectures to provide a common evaluation and enforcement environment for both enterprise-level and application level policies to bring tog...
