Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1An Undergraduate Curriculum for Deep Learning(Ieee, 2018) Tirkes, Guzin; Ekin, Cansu Cigdem; Sengul, Gokhan; Bostan, Atila; Karakaya, MuratDeep Learning (DL) is an interesting and rapidly developing field of research which has been currently utilized as a part of industry and in many disciplines to address a wide range of problems, from image classification, computer vision, video games, bioinformatics, and handwriting recognition to machine translation. The starting point of this study is the recognition of a big gap between the sector need of specialists in DL technology and the lack of sufficient education provided by the universities. Higher education institutions are the best environment to provide this expertise to the students. However, currently most universities do not provide specifically designed DL courses to their students. Thus, the main objective of this study is to design a novel curriculum including two courses to facilitate teaching and learning of DL topic. The proposed curriculum will enable students to solve real-world problems by applying DL approaches and gain necessary background to adapt their knowledge to more advanced, industry-specific fields.Article Unidirectional Data Transfer: a Secure System To Push the Data From a High Security Network To a Lower One Over an Actual Air-Gap(International Journal of Scientific Research in Information Systems and Engineering, 2017) Şengül, Gökhan; Bostan, Atila; Karakaya, MuratThe term “air-gap” is typically used to refer physical and logical separation of two computer networks. This type of a separation is generally preferred when the security levels of the networks are not identical. Although the security requirements entail parting the data networks, there is a growing need for fast and automatic transfer of data especially from high-security networks to low-security ones. To protect security sensitive system from the risks originating from low-security network, unidirectional connections that permit the data transfer only from high to low-security network, namely information-diodes, are in use. Nonetheless, each diode solution has its drawbacks either in performance or security viewpoints. In this study, we present a unidirectional data transfer system in which the primary focus is data and signal security in technical design and with a plausible and adaptable data transfer performance. Such that the networks do not touch each other either in physically or logically and the transfer is guaranteed to be unidirectional. Apart from avoiding the malicious transmissions from low to high-security network, we claim that the proposed data diode design is safe from emanation leakage with respect to the contemporary sniffing and spoofing techniques.Article Öğrenci Ders Devamının Sınavlarda Alınan Notlara Etkisi Üzerine Bir Durum Çalışması(Mersin Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesi Dergisi, 2016) Bostan, Atila; Karakaya, MuratÜniversite eğitimde öğrencilerin derslere devam mecburiyetinin olup olmaması, okuldan okula değişebileceği gibi aynı okul içinde verilen dersler arasında da farklılıklar göstermektedir. Öğrencilerin derse devam etmesiyle, dönem sonucu elde ettiği ders başarısı arasında olumlu bir ilişki olup olmadığı önemli bir araştırma konusu olmuştur. Bu konuda yapılan çalışmaların önemli bir bölümünde, dersteki başarı kriteri olarak dönem sonu başarı notu esas alınmış ve yapılan çalışmaların çoğunluğunda iki olgu arasında olumlu bir ilişki gözlemlenmiştir. Bunun sonucu olarak da, çalışmaların sonuç bölümlerinde öğrencilerin derslere devam etmelerinin sağlanması ve devamlarının artırılması tavsiye edilmiştir. Ancak, çok az çalışmada bu tedbirin gerçek hayata nasıl geçirilebileceği ile ilgili önerilerde bulunulmuştur. Diğer taraftan bu önerilerin ders devamını veya başarıyı artırmakta etkisi genellikle ölçülmemiştir. Derse devam durumunun artırılması için önerilen yöntemlerin çoğu, idari tedbirlerle öğrencileri derse devam etmeye zorlamayı içermektedir. Halbuki, ders devamından beklenen faydanın sağlanabilmesi için; öğrencinin bir zorunluluktan ziyade, öğrenme sürecinin bir parçası olarak derse devam etmeye teşvik edilmesi önemlidir. Bu çalışmada; ders devamı ile sınav notu arasındaki ilişki hem dönem sonu sınav notu hem de dönem içerisinde yapılan ara sınavlar dikkate alınarak incelenmiştir. Böylelikle öğrencinin devam durumu ile sınavlar arasında ilişkiyi gözlemlemek mümkün olmuştur. Ayrıca, ders işleme yönteminde yapılan bir değişikliğin, ders devamına ve öğrencinin notuna olan etkisi de bu kapsamda değerlendirilmiştir. Böylelikle, derse devam ile alınan notlar arasındaki ilişki üzerinde ders işleme yönteminin etkisi de izlenebilmiştir. Bu yönleriyle makalede sunulan çalışma, yazımda var olan yayınlardan farklılaşmaktadır.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Analyzing Students' Academic Success in Pre-requisite Course Chains: A Case Study in Turkey(Tempus Publications, 2018) Karakaya, Murat; Eryilmaz, Meltem; Ceyhan, Ulas; Computer EngineeringThere are several principles which have been accepted as approaches to successful curriculum development. In spite of the differences in the proposed sequencing of topics, all approaches basically depend on the pre-requisite chains to implement their educational approach in the curriculum development for specifying the order of the subjects. In this research, two prerequisite chains representing two different curriculum development approaches are taken into consideration in a case study. The first research question considered is whether academic success in a follow-up course is positively related to success attained in the pre-requisite course. The second one is whether or not the selected curriculum development approach for deciding the chains has a significant impact on the academic success relationships between a pre-requisite and its follow-up course. To answer these questions, course data of 441 undergraduate students who graduated from the Atilim University between Fall 2001 and Spring 2015 semesters were collected and analyzed. The results indicate that the succes levels gained in a pre-requisite and its follow-up course are corelated. Moreover, different cirriculum development methods can affect this corelation. Thus, cirriculum developers should consider appropriate approaches to improve student success for deciding chaining courses and their contents.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Msct: an Efficient Data Collection Heuristic for Wireless Sensor Networks With Limited Sensor Memory Capacity(Ksii-kor Soc internet information, 2015) Karakaya, MuratSensors used in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have mostly limited capacity which affects the performance of their applications. One of the data-gathering methods is to use mobile sinks to visit these sensors so that they can save their limited battery energies from forwarding data packages to static sinks. The main disadvantage of employing mobile sinks is the delay of data collection due to relative low speed of mobile sinks. Since sensors have very limited memory capacities, whenever a mobile sink is too late to visit a sensor, that sensor's memory would be full, which is called a 'memory overflow', and thus, needs to be purged, which causes loss of collected data. In this work, a method is proposed to generate mobile sink tours, such that the number of overflows and the amount of lost data are minimized. Moreover, the proposed method does not need either the sensor locations or sensor memory status in advance. Hence, the overhead stemmed from the information exchange of these requirements are avoided. The proposed method is compared with a previously published heuristic. The simulation experiment results show the success of the proposed method over the rival heuristic with respect to the considered metrics under various parameters.Article Yazılım Mühendisliği Eğitiminde Bitirme Projesi Dersinin Öğrenci Bakış Açısıyla Değerlendirilmesi(Ulusal Yazılım Mühendisliği Sempozyumu, 2013) Bostan, Atila; Karakaya, MuratYazılım mühendisliği eğitiminin ayrılmaz bir parçası olarak bitirme projesi dersi Türkiye’deki ilgili tüm programların müfredatlarında yer almaktadır. Lisans eğitim sürecinin son aşamasında çeşitli isimlerle yer alan ve öğrencilerin proje geliştirme süreçlerini grup içerisindeki çalışmalar ile tecrübe etmelerine olanak sağlayan bu ders, üniversiteler tarafından değişik şekillerde ele alın makta ve yönetilmektedir. Yazılım mühendisliği lisans eğitimindeki diğer derslerden gerek işleniş ve gerekse beklentiler açısından farklı olan bu dersin verilme sürecinde çeşitli sorunlarla ve güçlüklerle karşılaşılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada; yazılım mühendisliği programlarında verilen bitirme projesi dersinin öğrenci bakış açısından irdelenmesi için bu dersi alan öğrencilere anket yapılmış, öğrencilerin yaşdıkları zorluklar ile karşılaştıkları sorunlar belirlenmiş ve dersin öğrenciler açısından daha etkin ve faydalı olması için alınabilecek tedbirler öneriler olarak çalışmanın sonunda sunulmuşturArticle Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Time-Sensitive Ant Colony Optimization To Schedule a Mobile Sink for Data Collection in Wireless Sensor Networks(Old City Publishing inc, 2015) Karakaya, Murat; Computer EngineeringIn Wireless Sensor Networks, sensor nodes are deployed to monitor and record the changes in their surroundings. The collected data in the sensor memories is transferred to a remote central via static or mobile sinks. Because sensors have scarce memory capacity various challenges occur in gathering the data from the environment and transferring them to the remote control. For instance, a sensor's memory might get completely full with the sensed data if the sensor can not transfer them on time. Then, a memory overflow happens which causes all the collected data to be erased to free the memory for future readings. Therefore, when a mobile sink (MS) is employed to collect data from the sensors, the MS has to visit each sensor before any memory overflow takes place. In this paper, we study the design of a mobile sink scheduling algorithm based on the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) meta-heuristic to address this specific issue. The proposed scheduling algorithm, called Mobile Element Scheduling with Time Sensitive ACO (MES/TSACO), aims to prepare a schedule for a mobile sink to visit sensors such that the number of memory overflow incidents is reduced and the amount of collected data is increased. To test and compare the effectiveness of the MES/TSACO approach, the Minimum Weighted Sum First (MWSF) heuristic is implemented as an alternative solution. The results obtained from the extensive simulation tests show that the MES/TSACO generates schedules with considerably reduced number of overflow incidents and increased amount of collected data compared to the MWSF heuristic.Article Biometric Verification on E-Id Secure Access Devices: a Case Study on Turkish National E-Id Card Secure Access Device Specifications(International Journal of Information Security Science, 2017) Bostan, Atila; Şengül, Gökhan; Karakaya, MuratBiometric verification on e-ID cards requires clear procedures and standards be defined, especially when the access devices are anticipated to be produced commercial companies. Turkish national e-ID card project has reached the dissemination step. Now the commercial companies are expected to produce and market e-ID card access devices which will conduct secure electronic identity verification functions. However, published standards specifying e-ID card-access-device requirements are ambiguous on biometric verification procedures. In this study, we intended to attract scientific interest to the problems identified in the current design of biometric verification on Turkish national e-ID cards and proposed several verification alternatives which enables the production of e-ID card access devices in a commercial-competition environment.Article Citation - WoS: 47Citation - Scopus: 66Deep Learning Based Fall Detection Using Smartwatches for Healthcare Applications(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2022) Sengul, Gokhan; Karakaya, Murat; Misra, Sanjay; Abayomi-Alli, Olusola O.; Damasevicius, RobertasWe implement a smart watch-based system to predict fall detection. We differentiate fall detection from four common daily activities: sitting, squatting, running, and walking. Moreover, we separate falling into falling from a chair and falling from a standing position. We develop a mobile application that collects the acceleration and gyroscope sensor data and transfers them to the cloud. In the cloud, we implement a deep learning algorithm to classify the activity according to the given classes. To increase the number of data samples available for training, we use the Bica cubic Hermite interpolation, which allows us to improve the accuracy of the neural network. The 38 statistical data features were calculated using the rolling update approach and used as input to the classifier. For activity classification, we have adopted the bi-directional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) neural network. The results demonstrate that our system can detect falling with an accuracy of 99.59% (using leave-one-activityout cross-validation) and 97.35% (using leave-one-subject-out cross-validation) considering all activities. When considering only binary classification (falling vs. all other activities), perfect accuracy is achieved.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 7Deadline-Aware Energy-Efficient Query Scheduling in Wireless Sensor Networks With Mobile Sink(Hindawi Ltd, 2013) Karakaya, MuratMobile sinks are proposed to save sensor energy spent for multihop communication in transferring data to a base station (sink) in Wireless Sensor Networks. Due to relative low speed of mobile sinks, these approaches are mostly suitable for delay-tolerant applications. In this paper, we study the design of a query scheduling algorithmfor query-based data gathering applications using mobile sinks. However, these kinds of applications are sensitive to delays due to specified query deadlines. Thus, the proposed scheduling algorithm aims to minimize the number of missed deadlines while keeping the level of energy consumption at the minimum.
