    Software engineering issues in big data application development
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Karakaya,Z.
    Big Data has become one of the most important concepts that is being studied in Computer/Software Engineering. The data produced in recent years have increased rapidly and exponentially, necessitating the solution of major problems such as the collection, processing and storage of huge volume of data. Big Data Frameworks are developed specifically to solve these problems that facilitates application developers by providing opportunities to collect, process, manage, monitor and analyze these data. A few examples of these frameworks are Hadoop, Spark, Storm, and Flink, which are developed by Software Engineers as open source projects. Although the challenges raised from coordination of IT resources such as huge amounts of computation power, storage area, memory, and network bandwidth in a distributed manner solved by these frameworks, there still remains many Software Engineering problems in application development phase, even if they based on these frameworks. High scalability, fault tolerance, flexibility, reliability and testability can be listed as the main issues need to be carefully considered in terms of Software Engineering. In this paper, we first clarify the terms Framework-Application, and then the overview information about Big Data and related frameworks are given before emphasizing the problems arising in terms of Software Engineering. Nevertheless, we tried to provide guidance to the people who would develop software for Big Data and tried to give the further research guidance. © 2017 IEEE.

    Convolution Neural Network (cnn) Based Automatic Sorting of Cherries
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2021) Park,H.; Khan,M.U.
    Cherries are spring fruits enriched with nutrients, and are easily available in food markets around the world. Due to their excess demand, many enterprises solely focused on their processing. Cherries are especially susceptible to pathological-, physiological-diseases and structural degradation due to their soft outer skin. The post-harvest life of the fruit is limited by various characteristics. The agricultural industry has also been at the forefront to get benefits from the advanced machine learning tools. This study presents an image processing-based system for sorting cherries using the convolutional neural network (CNN). For this study, Prunus avium L cherries of export quality, available in Turkey, tagged as ‘0900 Ziraat’, are used. Surprisingly, there exists no dataset for these cherries; hence, we developed our dataset. Through the proposed approach based upon U-Net, the binary classification accuracy of 99% is achieved. Clear identification is demonstrated by the test results of varying mixture ratios of good and bad cherries. It can therefore be said that for cherry sorting and grading, U-Net can be applied as a reliable and promising machine learning tool. ©2021 IEEE

    Comparative Analysis Of Patch Antennas With Rectangular Slots For Laminate And Wearable Materials At 5g Networks
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Hakanoglu, B.G.; Agaya, E.; Gulmez, G.; Yalinsu, S.
    In this study, new multi-band patch antenna design models are proposed for use in 5G networks. The purpose of the designs is to open rectangular slots on rectangular shaped patch antennas and bring them to the desired operating conditions with parametric analyzes. The designs were carried out by following the same procedure steps using five different dielectric laminate substrate materials, such as RO3003, RT6006, FR4, RO3203, RO6010, and one denim fabric base material. The antennas were compared in terms of return loss, gain and radiation characteristics. Except for the antenna designed with RO3203 at certain values of rectangular slots, radiation at multiple frequencies was obtained at 5G frequencies. With the proposed method, improvement was observed for return loss and bandwidth characteristics in the RO3203 based antenna. This study will be a resource for antenna researchers by revealing the responses of different substrate materials to the same design method for 5G bands in patch antennas. © 2024 IEEE.

    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020) Yilmaz,V.S.; Kara,A.; Aydin,E.
    In many communications applications, unlike conventional antennas, lightweight, flexible, small antennas that can adapt to mechanical and industrial constraints are required. In this study, the results of antenna design operating at 2.4 GHz are presented for use in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) tele command links. In the parametric and optimization studies carried out on the antenna, it is aimed to increase the gain while keeping the size as small as possible. The requirements of the industry, such as light, aesthetics, miniature and high gain aspects of the antenna were targeted in the design process. Finally, an antenna of 55.2x88 mm size and 7dB gain was achieved using commercial electromagnetic design tools. The designed antenna become satisfying industrial requirements with these features. © 2020 IEEE.

    Need for a Software Development Methodology for Research-Based Software Projects
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Cereci,I.; Karakaya,Z.
    Software development is mostly carried by a group of individuals. Software development methodologies are heavily utilized to organize these individuals and keep track of the entire software development process. Although previously proposed software development methodologies meet the needs of the industry and the firms, they are not usually suitable for research-based software projects that are carried by universities and individual researchers. In this paper, we aim to show the necessity of a new software development methodology for research-based problems carried by universities. The literature review will show the differences between industry and university software projects from certain aspects. These findings will be supported by the authors own research on the area. This qualitative research involves collecting data through interviews and applying Grounded Theory to better understand the development process. © 2018 IEEE.

    Insights From Eye-Movement Events in an Educational Computer-Based Environment (ece) for Endo-Neurosurgery Training Considering Gender, Hand Condition and Scenario Effects
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Dalveren,G.G.M.; Cagiltay,N.E.
    Surgical residents of endo-neurosurgery are required to develop several surgical skills such as eye-hand coordination, ability to use both hand coordination, and depth perception. During the process of gaining these skills, there are several effective factors on the individual performance such as gender, nature of the scenarios and hand condition that can be important to better organize appropriate training programs. Earlier studies show that, surgeons' mental workload show differences according to the difficulty levels of the tasks and hand conditions during the operations. Also there are some evidences showing that male surgeons performing the surgical tasks with a better performance compared to the females. However, in the literature there are not many studies conducted to better understand these effects by analyzing the eye-movements on simulation-based surgical training environments. This study aims to understand the mental workload and gender differences from fixation number and fixation duration eye-movement events. In this study four different computer-based-simulation scenarios which are developed for an Educational Computer-based-simulation Environment (ECE) for endo-neurosurgery training have been performed by 23 (3 female) surgical residents. Participants have performed each scenario in different hand conditions (dominant, non-dominant and both hand). While surgical residents were performing the scenarios their eye-movements were recorded by an eye-tracker. The Binocular Individual Threshold (BIT) classification algorithm was used for eye-movement event classification. According to the results of fixation number and fixation duration events in these four scenarios, hand conditions, scenario fidelity levels and gender are found to be important factors that make changes on mental workload of surgical residents. It can be concluded that, in non-dominant and both hand conditions mental workload increases according to the dominant hand condition. Additionally results show that scenario fidelity levels and gender have an effect on the eye-movements of surgical residents. © 2018 IEEE.
