Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Semantic Interoperability and Reusability in Iot: a Systematic Mapping Study(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Alsaeh, A.; Sezen, A.Internet of Things (IoT) enables different devices, sensors, or humans to connect via the Internet. However, various IoT devices generate heterogeneous data in different formats. This hinders IoT devices from integrating and exchanging data between them. Adding semantic web technologies to the Web of Things (WoT) has greatly enabled IoT devices to be semantically interoperable. Moreover, W3C has established a Semantic Sensor Network (SSN) ontology that can be reused in different IoT applications due to difficulties in developing new ontologies. Many systematic mapping reviews in the literature have addressed semantic interoperability in IoT. Although reusability can play a vital role in enhancing semantic interoperability, none of those studies has discussed reusability and semantic interoperability together in the IoT area. In this article, we are seeking to fill this gap in the current literature by conducting a systematic mapping review for 72 articles to point out semantic interoperability as well as reusability in IoT. Five research questions have been identified regarding challenges and possible solutions about both semantic interoperability and reusability. The reviewed articles are classified into four categories. There are 47 articles about semantic interoperability, 2 of which discuss reusability, 18 of which include semantic interoperability with reusability, and the last category includes surveys. Moreover, the research questions are also assigned to the related category that answers the questions. This article highlights important insights about semantic web techniques namely, RDF, ontology, SPARQL, and OWL. Additionally, this article concludes how these techniques are enhanced in diverse domains such as healthcare, smart cities, and the energy domain. On top of that, this systematic mapping shows how reused ontology plays a remarkable role in the IoT domain Finally, results that answer the research questions are figured out and deeply analyzed in the tables and graphs. © 2024 IEEE.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 18A Feasibility Study for Controlling Self-Organized Production of Plasmonic Enhancement Interfaces for Solar Cells(Elsevier Science Bv, 2014) Borra, Mona Zolfaghari; Gullu, Seda Kayra; Es, Firat; Demircioglu, Olgu; Gunoven, Mete; Turan, Rasit; Bek, AlpanThe decoration of metal nanoparticles (MNPs) by the self-organized mechanism of dewetting is utilized as a suitable method for plasmonic interface integration to large area full-scale solar cell (SC) devices. Reflection measurements are performed on both flat and textured silicon (Si) SCs in order to investigate the local plasmonic resonances of the MNPs. The effects of particle size and thickness of silicon nitride (Si3N4)anti-reflection coating layer are investigated by reflection measurements and the shift of plasmon resonance peak position. It is found that surface roughness, annealing time, annealing temperature, and varying Si3N4 thickness can be used as mechanisms to control the size distribution, shape of the resultant nano-islands, and SC efficiency. The findings on the most suitable nanoparticle system production parameters by this method, depends on the applied substrate properties which are expected to guide further applications of plasmonic interfaces and also to the other kinds of device structures in the ultimate quest for attaining affordable high efficiency SCs.

The change of radiance domain signatures in images taken in different locations, time and altitudes are analyzed. A new radiance domain detection scheme for VNIR images under 1000 m altitude is proposed. The analysis shows that the radiance domain signatures of each target, that are collected from an image taken at 10 m altitude, can be effectively used for pure pixel target detection in other VNIR images taken at altitudes between 10 - 1000 m. The proposed approach is tested using several target types and on images taken at different altitudes and environmental conditions. Our results show that target detection in radiance domain provides a cheaper, easier and effective alternative to reflectance domain, in VNIR images. © 2019 IEEE.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Piezoelectric Ultrasonic Motors Using Bulk Pzt and Utilizing Two Orthogonal Bending Modes of a Hollow Cylinder (part 2)(2005) Cagatay,S.; Uchino,K.; Koc,B.Our main objective was to design, fabricate and characterize piezoelectric ultrasonic motors for micromechatronic devices. Three different prototypes were fabricated. The stator part of the motors was composed of a composite structure; metal and piezoelectric ceramic plates. Owing to the partially square/partially circular outside surface, the stator had two degenerated bending modes that were orthogonal to each other. First stator was 10 mm in length. The outer and inner diameters were 2.4 mm and 1.6 mm, respectively. Dimensions of the second stator had been reduced by 50%. In the final design, length of the stator had reached to 4 mm and the rotor part of the motor had been changed from a solid rod to a spring. In addition, an optimization process was conducted on improving the displacement range of the stator of the piezoelectric micro-motor. When both modes were excited at a single resonance frequency, the resultant wobbling motion will provide higher displacement values, which in turn will provide higher torque.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Analyzing the Requirements for E-Government Transition of Iraqi Ics Services: an Iraqi Correction Services Case Study(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Alameri,M.A.; Bostan,A.; Akman,I.Iraqi Correction Services (ICS) is a department within the Ministry of Justice. Most services are provided through traditional paper and pen system. This system causes delays in service provision time and work over-load on ICS staff which translates into a high cost of service provision. E-government applications represent an opportunity to automate governmental services while improving both effectiveness and efficiency. This work presents the approach taken to determine the priority to automate ICS service from the perspective of service beneficiaries. The research is yet to be completed, however, up to this point we developed four different questionnaire-sets in order to collect the requirements from the shareholders, verified them and implemented the actual survey in the field. The experience gained throughout these steps and the future analysis plan is reported in this paper. © 2017 IEEE.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1A Software Metric for Python Language(Springer Verlag, 2010) Misra,S.; Cafer,F.There are many metrics for evaluating the quality of codes written in different programming languages. However, no efforts have been done to propose metrics for Python, which is an important and useful language especially for the software development for the embedded systems. In this present work, we are trying to investigate all the factors, which are responsible for increasing the complexity of code written in Python language. Accordingly, we have proposed a unified metric for this language. Practical applicability of the metric is demonstrated on a case study. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Performance Evaluation of Self Organizing Neural Networks for Clustering in Esm Systems;(IEEE Computer Society, 2014) Gencol,K.; Tora,H.Electronic Support Measures (ESM) system is an important function of electronic warfare which provides the real time projection of radar activities. Such systems may encounter with very high density pulse sequences and it is the main task of an ESM system to deinterleave these mixed pulse trains with high accuracy and minimum computation time. These systems heavily depend on time of arrival analysis and need efficient clustering algorithms to assist deinterleaving process in modern evolving environments. On the other hand, self organizing neural networks stand very promising for this type of radar pulse clustering. In this study, performances of self organizing neural networks that meet such clustering criteria are evaluated in detail and the results are presented. © 2014 IEEE.Conference Object Seroprevalence of Vaccine Preventable Viral Diseases and Vaccine Response Among Hiv Positive Patients(Wiley, 2019) Erdinc, F. S.; Dogan, K.; Tulek, N.; Ertem, G. Tuncer; Kinikli, S.[No Abstract Available]Conference Object Problems Encountered by a Newly Graduated Graphics Designer(Elsevier Science Bv, 2012) Varol, T. EfeGraphics design education should aim to prepare the student for the existing graphics and advertising market. It is assumed that it does. However, graphics design today is fairly wide, flexible and experimental. Such experimentalism may carry graphics design far beyond conventional two-dimensional design. Combining three-dimensional design with computer games, website interface requirements and the discipline of animation, new products can be created. This study deals with the developing graphics design world, graphics design education and different levels of graphics design requirements within the sector. Differences between the education in the university and the requirements within the sector will be analyzed. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
