Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3Secure Iot Update Using Blockchain(IEEE, 2021) Kaptan, Melike; Tomur, Emrah; Ayav, Tolga; Erten, Yusuf MuratIn this study a platform is devised to send automatic remote updates for embedded devices. In this scenario there are Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), Software suppliers, blockchain nodes, Gateways and embedded devices. OEMs and software suppliers are there to keep their software on Inter Planetary File System (IPFS) and send the meta-data and hashes of their software to the blockchain nodes in order to keep this information distributed and ready to be requested and used. There are also gateways which are the members of the blockchain and the IPFS network. Gateways are responsible for asking for a specific update for specific devices from IPFS database using the meta-data kept on the blockchain, and they will send those hashed secure updates to the devices. In order to provide a traceable data keeping platform, gateway update operations are handled as transactions in a second blockchain network which is the clockchain of the gateways. The system was implemented as of the two separate blockchain networks and it has been shown that, despite the calculation overhead of the member devices, by separating the functions between the two blockchain networks a more reliable and secure platform can be achieved.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 20Loyalty Program Using Blockchain(IEEE, 2020) Sönmeztürk, Osman; Ayav, Tolga; Erten, Yusuf MuratThe traditional loyalty systems usually offer people benefits in a specific sector. The users usually need to stay within the loyalty system for a long time and accumulate points in order to win rewards which may not be very interesting for them most of the time. Additionally, users usually do not prefer to share their personal information to join these loyalty systems due to privacy concerns. It has, therefore, been observed that the number of customers in the loyalty systems is decreasing day by day. To reduce these drawbacks a loyalty program which complies with ERC20 standards was proposed in this study using tokens based on the Ethereum blockchain. Using this new generation loyalty system, users can convert their earned tokens to Ether in the market and they can receive services or products with the accumulated tokens according to their interests from any supplier that has been contracted by the manufacturer. Additionally, users in the designed system do not need to carry many different cards, it is adequate to have only one Ethereum wallet. Furthermore, users do not need to share any personal data to join the loyalty system. Suppliers can also request Ether from the manufacturer for the tokens they have accumulated from the members of the loyalty system. The proposed loyalty system has been implemented and presented in this study.Conference Object Osek/vdx Uyumlu Katı Gerçek-zamanlı İşletim Sistemleri için Zamanlama Mimarilerinin Değerlendirilmesi(IEEE, 2020) Saydam, Berkay; Ayav, TolgaDeveloping technology is reflected to the vehicles as well. But it brings the challenge of adding new functionalities to vehicles without compromising safety. The chips, which are used to provide the functionalities, are determined in the first step of ECU design. This decision will effect the remaining part of the development. Designing hardware and software together with testing phase is a long process in automotive industry. Changing the design of the hardware is quite costly after an ECU begins to be used in field. For these reasons, the selection of chips is directly related to cost and the functionality which should be provided to customer. Tasks, which fulfill desired functionality, provide a balance between performance and safety. These were evaluated for an OSEK/VDX certified OS and results are presented from the scheduling algorithms point of view. © 2020 IEEE.Conference Object Sonlu Durum Makinelerinin Fourier Analizi Tabanlı Sınanması(CEUR Workshop Proceedings, 2018) Takan, Savaş; Ayav, TolgaSonlu durum makinesi (FSM), devre ve yazılım testlerinde yaygın kullanıma sahip bir modelleme tekniğidir. FSM'lerin testi için literatürde çeşitli yöntemler bulunmakla birlikte, modellerin büyümesi sonucu test kümesinin büyüklüğü, hata yakalama oranı ve test üretim süresi gibi konularda yüksek başarıma sahip alternatif test yöntemlerine ihtiyaç bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışma ikili fonksiyonların Fourier analizine dayanan yeni bir test oluşturma yöntemi önermektedir. İlk sonuçlar, fonksiyonun frekans bileşenlerinden yararlanarak oluşturulan test takımının daha yüksek bir performansa sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Önerilen yöntem, karakteristiği, maliyeti ve hata yakalama oranı üzerinden literatürden seçilen iki yöntemle karşılaştırılmıştır.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 30A Performance and Profit Oriented Data Replication Strategy for Cloud Systems(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Tos, Uras; Mokadem, Riad; Hameurlain, Abdelkader; Ayav, Tolga; Bora, ŞebnemIn today's world, tenants of cloud systems expect timely responses to queries that process ever-increasing sizes of data. However, most cloud providers offer their services without any performance guarantees to their tenants. In this paper we propose a data replication strategy that aims to satisfy performance guarantees for the tenant while ensuring profitability of the cloud provider. Our strategy estimates the response time of the queries, as well as the expenditures that affect the profitability of the cloud provider. The decision of whether to perform replication is determined by the fulfillment of these two criteria. Validity of the proposed strategy is provided by means of a simulation study.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Feedback Control Static Scheduling for Real-Time Distributed Embedded Systems(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2005) Ayav, Tolga; Sorel, YvesThis paper presents an implementation of feedback control strategy on distributed static scheduling. The static schedule is created taking into account the average execution times of the tasks. Feedback control algorithm handles the unestimated dynamic behaviors in the system and keeps the performance at a desired level. The approach of feedback control supporting static scheduling yields more flexible scheduling, low scheduling overhead and better resource utilization while preserving the realtime constraints.Report Implementing Fault-Tolerance in Real-Time Systems by Automatic Program Transformations(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2006) Ayav, Tolga; Fradet, Pascal; Girault, AlainWe present a formal approach to implement and certify fault-tolerance in real-time embedded systems. The fault-intolerant initial system consists of a set of independent periodic tasks scheduled onto a set of fail-silent processors. We transform the tasks such that, assuming the availability of an additional spare processor, the system tolerates one failure at a time (transient or permanent). Failure detection is implemented using heartbeating, and failure masking using checkpointing and roll-back. These techniques are described and implemented by automatic program transformations on the tasks' programs. The proposed formal approach to fault-tolerance by program transformation highlights the benefits of separation of concerns and allows us to establish correctness properties.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2Towards Test Case Generation for Synthesizable Vhdl Programs Using Model Checker(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2010) Ayav, Tolga; Tuğlular, Tuğkan; Belli, FevziVHDL programs are often tested by means of simulations, relying on test benches written intuitively. In this paper, we propose a formal approach to construct test benches from system specification. To consider the real-time properties of VHDL programs, we first transform them to timed automata and then perform model checking against the properties designated from the specification. Counterexamples returned from the model checker serve as a basis of test cases, i.e. they are used to form a test bench. The approach is demonstrated and complemented by a simple case study.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 12A Review of Cloud Deployment Models for E-Learning Systems(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2013) Leloğlu, Engin; Ayav, Tolga; Aslan, Burak GalipWith the significant growth in the cloud-based systems, many industries give their attention to cloud computing solutions. E-learning is a promising application area since its typical requirements such as dynamically allocation of computation and storage resources, coincide well with cloud characteristics. This paper presents some possible cloud solutions in e-learning environments by emphasizing its pros and cons. It is of paramount importance to choose the most suitable cloud model for an e-learning application or an educational organization in terms of scalability, portability and security. We distinguish various deployment alternatives of cloud computing and discuss their benefits against typical e-learning requirements.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 9Boolean Differentiation for Formalizing Myers' Cause-Effect Graph Testing Technique(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015) Ayav, Tolga; Belli, FevziCause-Effect Graph Testing is a popular technique used for almost four decades. Based on Boolean algebra, this technique assists deriving test cases from a given specification informally written in a natural language. The present paper suggests Boolean differentiation for formalizing this technique. The new approach is applied to an example, borrowed from G. Myers, for demonstrating and analyzing its features. Evaluations show that the new approach outperforms Myers' approach in terms of the detected faults per test cases.
