    Bim-Carem: Assessing the Bim Capabilities of Design, Construction and Facilities Management Processes in the Construction Industry
    (Elsevier, 2023) Gökçen, Yılmaz; Akçamete, Aslı; Demirörs, Onur
    BIM adoption has accelerated worldwide since it is an important enabling technology for digitalisation in the construction industry. Adopting BIM requires transforming the traditional building life cycle stages (planning, design, construction and facilities management) into BIM-integrated project deliveries. Assessing the BIM ca- pabilities of these stages helps organisations to identify gaps in their BIM uses and improve them. There is a lack of a comprehensive model in the literature for assessing the BIM capabilities of individual building life cycle stages and their processes. Existing assessment models focus on assessing the BIM maturity of construction projects and organisations which do not inform the required BIM improvements for individual stages and their processes. Hence, we iteratively developed the Building Information Modelling (BIM) Capability Assessment REference Model (BIM-CAREM) and demonstrated its usability through multiple explanatory case studies per- formed with two international design and engineering companies and two general contractors in Turkey. We assessed the BIM capabilities of design, construction and facility management processes of various buildings i.e. residential, stadiums, hospitals and airports. The results showed that the BIM capability levels of design, con- struction and facility management processes vary within and across the companies.

    Mikroservisler için İşgücü Kestirimi: Bir Durum Çalışması
    (IEEE, 2021) Ünlü, Hüseyin; Hacaloğlu, Tuna; Leblebici, Onur; Demirörs, Onur
    Software size measurement is critical as an input to perform important project management processes such as effort, cost and schedule estimation. Functional size measurement (FSM) methods are beneficial in terms of being applicable in the early phases of the software life cycle over functional requirements and providing a systematic and repeatable method. However, in agile organizations, it can be challenging to seperate measurement components of FSM methods from requirements in the early phases as the documentation is kept to a minimum compared to traditional methods such as the Waterfall Model and is detailed as the project steps. In addition, the existing FSM methods are not fully compatible with today's architectural structures, which are from being data-driven and to evolve into a behaviour-oriented structure. In this study, we performed a case study which includes a project developed with agile methods and using microservice-based architecture to compare the effectiveness of COSMIC FSM and event-based software size measurement. For this purpose, we measured the size of the project and created effort estimation models based on two methods. The measurers had difficulty in applying both methods due to the limited detail level of the requirements in the project. However, the event-based method was found to estimate effort with less error than the COSMIC FSM method.

    Isbsg Veri Seti Kullanılarak Yazılım Efor Kestirimi: Çoklu Durum Çalışmaları
    (IEEE, 2021) Ünlü, Hüseyin; Yalçın, Ali Görkem; Öztürk, Dilek; Akkaya, Güliz; Kalecik, Mert; Ekici, Nazım Umut; Orhan, Oğuzhan; Çiftçi, Okan; Yumlu, Selen; Demirörs, Onur
    Efor kestirimi yazılım projelerinin planlanmasında temel aktivitelerden biridir. Objektif, tekrarlanabilir efor kestirimleri genelde iki ana girdiye ihtiyaç duyar: yazılım büyüklüğü ve efor verisi. Yazılımın büyüklüğü fonksiyonel büyüklük olarak ölçüldüğünde projenin gereksinimlerinin tanımlı olmasından sonra her aşamasında ölçülebilir. Ancak, organizasyonlarda geçmiş projelere ait efor verisine her zaman ulaşmak mümkün olamamaktadır. Bu durumda yeni projeler için geçmiş verilerden yola çıkarak efor kestirim modelleri oluşturmak güç olabilir. Uluslararası Yazılım Kıyaslama Standartları Grubu (International Software Benchmarking Standards Group – ISBSG) veri seti dünya çapında birçok organizasyon tarafından sağlanan yazılım büyüklüğü ve efor bilgisi içeren çok sayıda proje bilgisi içerir. Bu veri seti organizasyonlarda efor kestirimi için kullanılabilir. Bu çalışmada, ISBSG veri setinin sektördeki organizasyonlara ait projelerin efor kestiriminde yararlı olup olmadığını araştırmak amacıyla lisansüstü öğrencileri ile çoklu durum çalışması yapılmıştır. Öğrenciler, çalıştıkları organizasyona ait bir projeyi öncelikle COSMIC İşlevsel Büyüklük Ölçüm yöntemi ile ölçmüş, sonrasında da ISBSG veri setini kullanarak efor kestirim modeli oluşturmuş ve projenin efor tahminini gerçekleştirmiştir. Çalışma sonuçları, efor verisi bulunamayan durumlarda ISBSG kullanarak tutarlı bir efor kestirim modelini oluşturmanın mümkün olduğunu göstermektedir.

    A Survey on Organizational Choices for Microservice-Based Software Architectures
    (TÜBİTAK, 2022) Ünlü, Hüseyin; Bilgin, Burak; Demirörs, Onur
    During the last decade, the demand for more flexible, responsive, and reliable software applications increased exponentially. The availability of internet infrastructure and new software technologies to respond to this demand led to a new generation of applications. As a result, cloud-based, distributed, independently deployable web applications working together in a microservice-based software architecture style have gained popularity. The style has been a common practice in the industry and successfully utilized by companies. Adopting this style demands software organizations to transform their culture. However, there is a lack of research studies that explores common practices for microservices. Thus, we performed a survey to explore the organizational choices on software analysis, design, size measurement, and effort estimation when working with microservices. The results provide a snapshot of the software industry that utilizes microservices. We provide insight for software organizations to transform their culture and suggest challenges researchers can focus on in the area.

    Event Oriented Vs Object Oriented Analysis for Microservice Architecture: an Exploratory Case Study
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2021) Ünlü, Hüseyin; Tenekeci, Samet; Yıldız, Ali; Demirörs, Onur
    The rapidly developing internet infrastructure together with the advances in software technology has enabled the development of cloud-based modern web applications that are much more responsive, flexible, and reliable compared to traditional monolithic applications. Such modern applications require new software design paradigms and architectures. Microservice-based architecture (MSbA), which aims to create small, isolated, loosely-coupled applications that work in cohesion, becoming widespread as one of these approaches. MSbA allows the developed applications to be deployed and maintained separately, as well as scaled on demand. However, there is no de facto method for the analysis and design of systems for these architectures. In this paper, we compared the usefulness of the object-oriented (OO) and event-oriented (EO) approaches for analyzing and designing MS-based systems. More specifically, we performed an exploratory case study to analyze, design, and implement a software application dealing with the 'application and evaluation process of graduate students at IzTech'. This paper discusses the results of this case study. We observe that the EO approaches have significant advantages with respect to the OO approaches.

    (IEEE, 2020) Bilgin, Burak; Ünlü, Hüseyin; Demirörs, Onur
    The demand for more flexible, responsive and reliable software applications and the availability of internet infrastructure to respond to this demand, led to a new generation of cloud-based web applications. As a result, cloud- based distributed web applications working together in a microservice-based architecture has gained popularity. The concept of microservice-based architecture is quite new and software organizations need to transform their culture to develop applications in this fashion. However, there is a lack of research studies in the literature that explores the common practices for the analysis and design of microservices. Thus, we performed a survey to explore the organizational choices on software analysis and design when working with microservices. In this paper, we present the results from Turkey. The results provide a snapshot of the software industry that utilizes microservices and suggests a set of challenges researchers can focus on in the area. © 2020 IEEE.

    Automated Estimation of Functional Size From Code
    (IEEE, 2020) Özen, Özgesu; Özsoy, Bora; Aktılav, Busenur; Güleç, Eren Can; Demirörs, Onur
    Determination of the size of a software project is challenging as well as crucial for both self-employed software developers and corporate businesses. That's why it is subjected to a lot of academic studies where it is discussed how to determine the size more accurately. Functional Size Measurement (FSM) is one the most popular measurement techniques for a software from the point of the delivered functionality. However, the aspects of know-how, the cost, time, and manual operation creates difficulties to apply FSM techniques. This study aims to solve these issues by automating the measurement process to approximate the functional size of a project using the COSMIC Functional Size Measurement. The end product of this study is called 'Cosmic APP' that utilizes the sequence diagram of a software after reverse engineering it from the given code using a third-party tool called 'SequenceDiagram'. The working principles, the estimation process, and the obtained results of 'Cosmic APP' are described thoroughly in this paper. © 2020 IEEE.

    A Change Management Model and Its Application in Software Development Projects
    (Elsevier, 2019) Efe, Pınar; Demirörs, Onur
    Change is inevitable in software projects and software engineers strive to find ways to manage changes. A complete task could be easily in a team's agenda sometime later due to change demands. Change demands are caused by failures and/or improvements and require additional effort which in most cases have not been planned upfront and affect project progress significantly. Earned Value Management (EVM) is a powerful performance management and feedback tool for project management. EVM depicts the project progress in terms of scope, cost, and schedule and provides future predictions based on trends and patterns of the past. Even though EVM works quite well and widely used in disciplines like construction and mining, it is not the case for software discipline. Software projects require special attention and adoption for change. In this study, we present a model to measure change and subsequent rework and evolution costs to monitor software projects accurately. We have performed five case studies in five different companies to explore the usability of the proposed model. This paper depicts the proposed model and discusses the results of the case studies.

    Towards Modeling Patterns for Embedded Software Industry: Feedback From the Field
    (IEEE, 2018) Akdur, Deniz; Demirörs, Onur; Say, Bilge
    The analysis, design, implementation and testing of software for embedded systems are not trivial. Software modeling is a commonly used approach in the embedded software industry to manage complexity of these phases. The modeling approaches vary since the characteristics of modeling such as its purpose, the medium type used, the lifecycle phase used, differ among systems and industrial sectors. Our previous research identified and defined the modeling approach patterns in embedded software development projects based on quantitative data. In this paper, to validate and improve the pre-investigated pattern set, we present a series of semi-structured interviews over eight months with 53 embedded software professionals across a variety of target industrial sectors and roles. With the help of these interviews, the different modeling approach patterns in embedded software development were better understood and the hidden patterns not evident in the previous study were identified along with a documentation of personalized modeling experiences.

    Exploring Reuse Levels in Erp Projects in Search of an Effort Estimation Approach
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018) Demirörs, Onur; Küçükateş Ömüral, Neslihan
    Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) projects have special characteristics that differentiate them from other kinds of software projects. Main difference that affects effort estimation results is high reuse rates of ERP projects. This paper presents our exploratory work to establish an approach to calculate reuse reflective size of ERP projects, which could be a primary input for effort estimation. We explored the usability of COSMIC function points as the base unit and its convertibility to reuse reflective size using reuse levels. We have performed a case study on an SAP Implementation project. We were able to calculate COSMIC size and reuse levels using the documents available for the project. We discuss the results as well as challenges and opportunities in the light of the case study.
