Department of Software Engineering was founded in 2005 as the first department in Ankara in Software Engineering. The recent developments in current technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Big Data, and Blockchains, have placed Software Engineering among the top professions of today, and the future. The academic and research activities in the department are pursued with qualified faculty at Undergraduate, Graduate and Doctorate Degree levels. Our University is one of the two universities offering a Doctorate-level program in this field. In addition to focusing on the basic phases of software (analysis, design, development, testing) and relevant methodologies in detail, our department offers education in various areas of expertise, such as Object-oriented Analysis and Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Software Quality Assurance, Software Requirement Engineering, Software Design and Architecture, Software Project Management, Software Testing and Model-Driven Software Development. The curriculum of our Department is catered to graduate individuals who are prepared to take part in any phase of software development of large-scale software in line with the requirements of the software sector. Department of Software Engineering is accredited by MÜDEK (Association for Evaluation and Accreditation of Engineering Programs) until September 30th, 2021, and has been granted the EUR-ACE label that is valid in Europe. This label provides our graduates with a vital head-start to be admitted to graduate-level programs, and into working environments in European Union countries. The Big Data and Cloud Computing Laboratory, as well as MobiLab where mobile applications are developed, SimLAB, the simulation laboratory for Medical Computing, and software education laboratories of the department are equipped with various software tools and hardware to enable our students to use state-of-the-art software technologies. Our graduates are employed in software and R&D companies (Technoparks), national/international institutions developing or utilizing software technologies (such as banks, healthcare institutions, the Information Technologies departments of private and public institutions, telecommunication companies, TÜİK, SPK, BDDK, EPDK, RK, or universities), and research institutions such TÜBİTAK.

Abstract

Big Data and Cloud computing are the most important technologies that give the opportunity for government agencies to gain a competitive advantage and improve their organizations. On one hand, Big Data implementation requires investing a significant amount of money in hardware, software, and workforce. On the other hand, Cloud Computing offers an unlimited, scalable and on-demand pool of resources which provide the ability to adopt Big Data technology without wasting on the financial resources of the organization and make the implementation of Big Data faster and easier. The aim of this study is to conduct a systematic literature review in order to collect data to identify the benefits and challenges of Big Data on Cloud for government agencies and to make a clear understanding of how combining Big Data and Cloud Computing help to overcome some of these challenges. The last objective of this study is to identify the solutions for related challenges of Big Data. Four research questions were designed to determine the information that is related to the objectives of this study. Data is collected using literature review method and the results are deduced from there.
