    Host Based Dynamic Throughput Maximization Model for Ieee 802.11 Wlan
    (Springer-verlag Berlin, 2010) Koyuncu, Murat; Gercek, Mehmet Kazim; Ercan, Tuncay
    As the demand for uninterrupted Internet access grows, the popularity of wireless communication increases. However, wireless communication has some problems compared to conventional wired communication. Especially, if widely used Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) applications are taken into consideration, it becomes an important issue to balance the load among available access points. It is impossible to balance the load when wireless hosts associate with an access point by using the classical approach of Received Signal Strength Index (RSSI). Some solutions containing a central server, requiring a specific brand of access point or protocol revisions have been proposed previously, but none of them has been favored as a generally accepted solution. In this study, a proposal which is central server free and requires no modifications to the existing infrastructure is presented. The proposed model is based on a dynamic determination of the least loaded access point to associate with, in order to balance load and maximize throughput.

    Self Archiving in Atilim University
    (Springer-verlag Berlin, 2012) Erturk, Korhan Levent; Sengul, Gokhan
    Self archiving is defined as storing the scientific research outputs in researchers' own web pages/sites, organizational web sites or institutional repositories. In this study the self archiving activities of academicians of Atilim University are investigated. For the purpose of the study the web pages of the university, personal web pages of the academicians and open repository of the university are explored. We found the details of 2176 academic activities of the instructors in web pages. More than half of these activities (1147 - 53%) consist of refereed journal papers. Almost a quarter of the instructors saved their research outputs in the university's open repository. Yet, those instructors have not published their works in their personal web pages or institutional web pages. Only 4% of the works are published in personal/organizational web pages. According to the results obtained, the usage of institutional repository is the common self archiving method in the Atilim University. On the other hand, the personal/organizational web pages should be as a point of attraction in self archiving. While discussing the efficient usage of the institutional repository, we suggest that the social networks as a meeting point should include links to personal/institutional web pages containing academicians' papers.
