    The Borderline Between Serious Games and Simulations
    (Iated-int Assoc Technology Education & development, 2014) Guney, Sinem; Cagiltay, Nergiz Ercil; Tuner, Emre; Cereci, Ibrahim
    Game and simulation-based environments allow trainees to develop motor and cognitive skills as well as to provide some very detailed measurement values which in turn provide a feedback mechanism. It is a well known fact that games and simulation are potentially creating safer and cheaper active learning environments. Even when several benefits of games and simulations are reported in the literature, there is no exact definition of a game and simulation drawing the borders in between. Hence this causes to some complexities and misunderstandings in the field. Accordingly, in this study a definition for simulations and games is searched by being based on the studies found in the literature. Based on these definitions a borderline for the games and simulations will be provided. Results of study aim to guide the educational technology designers by better defining their education designs and better understanding their affect on the educational environments.

    A Systematic Literature Review on Microservices
    (Springer international Publishing Ag, 2017) Vural, Hulya; Koyuncu, Murat; Guney, Sinem
    The cloud is an emerging paradigm which leads the way for different approaches and standards. The architectural styles are evolving based on the requirements of the cloud as well. In recent years microservices is seen as the architecture style for scalable, fast evolving cloud applications. As part of this paper, a systematic mapping study was carried out around microservices. It is aiming to find out the current trends around microservices, the motivation behind microservices research, emerging standards and the possible research gaps. The obtained results can help researchers and practitioner in software engineering domain who want to be aware of new trends about SOA and cloud computing.
