    Systematic Mapping on Quality in Web Application Testing
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019) Akbulut,S.; Gebreyesus,Y.T.; Mishra,A.; Yazici,A.
    Similar to all other fields of study, assuring the quality of web applications is very important. With the aim of increasing web applications quality in testing, our task in this paper is to reflect on the results of the literature searches made in this area. The literature survey carried out in this study searches for studies in the area of quality in application testing and retrieves 1972 papers, published within the timeframe of 2006 and 2016. The publications are systematically identified, analyzed, and classified and an overview of the trends in this specialized field is presented. Systematic mapping is applied to review and structure the body of knowledge related to quality in web application testing. To conduct our study, we selected a set of 27 papers published in the area of quality in web application testing between 2006 and 2016. The results of this work can help other researchers to obtain an overview of the existing web application testing quality trends and approaches as well as to identify areas in the field that require more attention from research point of view. © 2019 IEEE.

    Slim-Tree and Bitmatrix Index Structures in Image Retrieval System Using Mpeg-7 Descriptors
    (2008) Açar,E.; Arslan,S.; Yazici,A.; Koyuncu,M.
    Content-based retrieval of multimedia data has still been an active research area. The efficient retrieval in natural images has been proven a difficult task for content-based image retrieval systems. In this paper, we present a system that adapts two different index structures, namely Slim-Tree and BitMatrix, for efficient retrieval of images based on multidimensional low-level features such as color, texture and shape. These index structures also use metric space. We use MPEG-7 Descriptors extracted from images to represent these features and store them in a native XML database. The low-level features; Color Layout (CL), Dominant Color (DC), Edge Histogram (EH) and Region Shape (RS) are used in Slim-Tree and BitMatrix and aggregated by Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) method to find final similarity between any two objects. The experiments included in the paper are in the subject of index construction and update, query response time and retrieval effectiveness using ANMRR performance metric and precision/recall scores. The experimental results strengthen the case that uses BitMatrix along with Ordered Weighted Averaging method in content-based image retrieval systems. ©2008 IEEE.

    Flexible Content Extraction and Querying for Videos
    (2011) Demir,U.; Koyuncu,M.; Yazici,A.; Yilmaz,T.; Sert,M.
    In this study, a multimedia database system which includes a semantic content extractor, a high-dimensional index structure and an intelligent fuzzy object-oriented database component is proposed. The proposed system is realized by following a component-oriented approach. It supports different flexible query capabilities for the requirements of video users, which is the main focus of this paper. The query performance of the system (including automatic semantic content extraction) is tested and analyzed in terms of speed and accuracy. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.

    Metu-Mmds: an Intelligent Multimedia Database System for Multimodal Content Extraction and Querying
    (Springer Verlag, 2016) Yazici,A.; Sattari,S.; Yilmaz,T.; Sert,M.; Koyuncu,M.; Gulen,E.
    Managing a large volume of multimedia data, which contain various modalities (visual, audio, and text), reveals the need for a specialized multimedia database system (MMDS) to efficiently model, process, store and retrieve video shots based on their semantic content. This demo introduces METU-MMDS, an intelligent MMDS which employs both machine learning and database techniques. The system extracts semantic content automatically by using visual, audio and textual data, stores the extracted content in an appropriate format and uses this content to efficiently retrieve video shots. The system architecture supports various multimedia query types including unimodal querying, multimodal querying, query-by-concept, query-by-example, and utilizes a multimedia index structure for efficiently querying multi-dimensional multimedia data. We demonstrate METU-MMDS for semantic data extraction from videos and complex multimedia querying by considering content and concept-based queries containing all modalities. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016.

    A Comparison of Stream Processing Frameworks
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Karakaya,Z.; Yazici,A.; Alayyoub,M.
    This study compares the performance of Big Data Stream Processing frameworks including Apache Spark, Flink, and Storm. Also, it measures the resource usage and performance scalability of the frameworks against a varying number of cluster sizes. It has been observed that, Flink outperforms both Spark and Storm under equal constraints. However, Spark can be optimized to provide the higher throughput than Flink with the cost of higher latency. © 2017 IEEE.

    Informatics Engineering Education in Turkey and Expectations of Software Industry;
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Yazici,A.; Mishra,A.; Karakaya,Z.; Ustunkok,T.
    In this study, using the ÖSYM data, the number of intakes in Informatics Engineering programs in Turkey, accreditation data and the medium of instruction of the program are summarized for the years 2016 and 2017. In addition, the software sector's expectations from the informatics engineering graduates are reassessed based on the academic studies. The developed knowledge-skill gap set was used to evaluate the situation in Turkish informatics engineering programs. Sector expectations are discussed in the context of 2017-2019 Turkey Software Sector Strategy and Action Plan prepared by the Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology of Turkey and some proposals are made for the academia. As a result, it was observed that the expectations of the software industry were similar in all studies. Additionally, the expectations were changed in the direction of developing technologies and this change should be reflected in the informatics engineering programs. © 2018 IEEE.

    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Dogdu,E.; Ozbayoglu,M.; Yazici,A.; Karakaya,Z.
    Big Data is one of the most commonly encountered buzzwords among IT professionals nowadays. Technological advancements in data acquisition, storage, telecommunications, embedded systems and sensor technologies resulted in huge inflows of streaming data coming from variety of sources, ranging from financial streaming data to social media tweets, or wearable health gadgets to drone flight logs. The processing and analysis of such data is a difficult task, but as appointed by many IT experts, it is crucial to have a Big Data Implementation plan in today's challenging industry standards. In this study, we performed a survey among IT professionals working in the public sector and tried to address some of their implementation issues and their perception of Big Data today and their expectations about how the industry will evolve. The results indicate that most of the public sector professionals are aware of the current Big Data requirements, embrace the Big Data challenge and are optimistic about the future. © 2018 IEEE.

    A Framework for Fuzzy Video Content Extraction, Storage and Retrieval
    (2010) Koyuncu,M.; Yilmaz,T.; Yildirim,Y.; Yazici,A.
    This study presents a new comprehensive framework for semantic content extraction from raw video, storage of the extracted data and retrieval of the stored data. Objects, spatial relations between objects, events and temporal relations between events, which are considered as semantic contents of the video, are extracted automatically to a certain extend with the developed approach. Extraction process is supported by manual annotation when automatic extraction is not satisfactory. The extracted information is stored in an intelligent fuzzy object-oriented database in which the database is enhanced with a fuzzy knowledge-based system. Domain specific deduction rules can be defined to derive new information about semantic contents of the video. The database is also supported by an access structure to increase retrieval efficiency. The proposed framework is capable of handling uncertain data arising from annotation process or video nature. © 2010 IEEE.
