Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Application of Human-Robot Interaction Features To Design and Purchase Processes of Home Robots(Springer, 2021) Yapıcı, Nur Beril; Tuğlular, Tuğkan; Başoğlu, Ahmet NuriProduction of home robots, such as robotic vacuum cleaners, currently focuses more on the technology and its engineering than the needs of people and their interaction with robots. An observation supporting this view is that the home robots are not customizable. In other words, buyers cannot select the features and built their home robots to order. Stemmed from this observation, the paper proposes an approach that starts with a classification of features of home robots. This classification concerns robot interaction with humans and the environment, a home in our case. Following the classification, the proposed approach utilizes a new hybrid model based on a built-to-order model and dynamic eco-strategy explorer model, enabling designers to develop a production line and buyers to customize their home robots with the classified features. Finally, we applied the proposed approach to robotic vacuum cleaners. We developed a feature model for robotic vacuum cleaners, from which we formed a common uses scenario model.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Regional Soft Error Vulnerability and Error Propagation Analysis for Gpgpu Applications(Springer, 2021) Öz, Işıl; Karadaş, Ömer FarukThe wide use of GPUs for general-purpose computations as well as graphics programs makes soft errors a critical concern. Evaluating the soft error vulnerability of GPGPU programs and employing efficient fault tolerance techniques for more reliable execution become more important. Protecting only the most error-sensitive program regions maintains an acceptable reliability level by eliminating the large performance overheads due to redundant operations. Therefore, fine-grained regional soft error vulnerability analysis is crucial for the systems targeting both performance and reliability. In this work, we present a regional fault injection framework and perform a detailed error propagation analysis to evaluate the soft error vulnerability of GPGPU applications. We evaluate both intra-kernel and inter-kernel vulnerabilities for a set of programs and quantify the severity of the data corruptions by considering metrics other than SDC rates. Our experimental study demonstrates that the code regions inside GPGPU programs exhibit different characteristics in terms of soft error vulnerability and the soft errors corrupting the variables propagate into the program output in several ways. We present the potential impact of our analysis by discussing the usage scenarios after we compile our observations acquired from our empirical work.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 3Integrated Approach for Privacy Preserving Itemset Mining(Springer, 2012) Yıldız, Barış; Ergenç, BelginIn this work, we propose an integrated itemset hiding algorithm that eliminates the need of pre-mining and post-mining and uses a simple heuristic in selecting the itemset and the item in itemset for distortion. Base algorithm (matrix-apriori) works without candidate generation so efficiency is increased. Performance evaluation demonstrates (1) the side effect (lost itemsets) and time while increasing the number of sensitive itemsets and support of itemset and (2) speed up by integrating the post mining. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.Conference Object On-board applications development via symbolic user interfaces(Springer, 2014) Kumova, Bora İsmailbecerik is a functional language consisting of symbolic commands for managing and composing applications. Application commands consist of symbols that are associated with reading sensor values, computing those values and executing actuator values. It is the result of a co-design of mechatronic functionality and robotic behaviour. The requirements given for mechatronic functionality were those of simple robotics kits that are used in school education or as toys. The requirements given for the behaviour were to provide a reflexive one, consisting of triggering simple computations and actuations from simple sensor values. becerik currently lives as a leJOS application on NXT robots and enables developing simple applications using the standard display and buttons of the NXT brick. In this paper we introduce the symbolic user interfaces of becerik. © 2014 Springer International Publishing Switzerland.Conference Object A Roadmap for Semantifying Recommender Systems Using Preference Management(Springer, 2010) Tapucu, Dilek; Tekbacak, Fatih; Ünalır, Murat Osman; Kasap, SedaThe work developed in this paper presents an innovative solution in the field of recommender systems. Our aim is to create integration architecture for improving recommendation effectiveness that obtains user preferences found implicitly in domain knowledge. This approach is divided into four steps. The first step is based on semantifying domain knowledge. In this step, domain ontology will be analyzed. The second step is to define an innovative hybrid recommendation algorithm based upon collaborative filtering and content filtering. The third step is based on preference modeling approach. And in the fourth step preference model and recommendation algorithm will be integrated. Finally, this work will be realized on Netflix movie data source. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.Correction Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Correction To: Detection and Classifcation of Vehicles From Omnidirectional Videos Using Multiple Silhouettes(Springer, 2018) Karaimer, Hakkı Can; Barış, İpek; Baştanlar, YalınAn acknowledgements section was missing in this paper.

We have found earlier that 136 moods are distinct in terms of equal truth ratios that range in tau = [ 0,1]. The truth ratio of a particular mood is calculated by relating the number of true and false syllogistic cases that the mood matches. The introduction of (n -1) fuzzy existential quantifiers, extends the system to fuzzy-syllogistic systems S-n, 1 < n, of which every fuzzy-syllogistic mood can be interpreted as a vague inference with a generic truth ratio, which is determined by its syllogistic structure. Here we introduce two new concepts, the relative truth ratio (r)tau = [ 0,1] that is calculated from the cardinalities of the syllogistic cases of the mood and fuzzy-syllogistic ontology (FSO). We experimentally apply the fuzzy-syllogistic systems S-2 and S-6 as underlying logic of a FSO reasoner (FSR) and discuss sample cases for approximate reasoning.yArticle Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 20The Influence of Using Collapsed Sub-Processes and Groups on the Understandability of Business Process Models(Springer, 2020) Türetken, Oktay; Dikici, Ahmet; Vanderfeesten, Irene; Rompen, Tessa; Demirörs, OnurMany factors influence the creation of business process models which are understandable for a target audience. Understandability of process models becomes more critical when size and complexity of the models increase. Using vertical modularization to decompose such models hierarchically into modules is considered to improve their understandability. To investigate this assumption, two experiments were conducted. The experiments involved 2 large-scale real-life business process models that were modeled using BPMN v2.0 (Business Process Model and Notation) in the form of collaboration diagrams. Each process was modeled in 3 modularity forms: fully-flattened, flattened where activities are clustered using BPMN groups, and modularized using separately viewed BPMN sub-processes. The objective was to investigate if and how different forms of modularity representation (used for vertical modularization) in BPMN collaboration diagrams influence the understandability of process models. In addition to the forms of modularity representation, the presentation medium (paper vs. computer) and model reader's level of business process modeling competency were investigated as factors that potentially influence model comprehension. 60 business practitioners from a large organization and 140 graduate students participated in our experiments. The results indicate that, when these three modularity representations are considered, it is best to present the model in a 'flattened' form (with or without the use of groups) and in the 'paper' format in order to optimally understand a BPMN model. The results also show that the model reader's business process modeling competency is an important factor of process model comprehension.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1A Digital Interaction Framework for Managing Knowledge Intensive Business Processes(Springer, 2019) Bandara, Madhushi; Rabhi, Fethi A.; Meymandpour, Rouzbeh; Demirörs, OnurMany business processes present in modern enterprises are loosely defined, highly interactive, involve frequent human interventions and coupled with a multitude of abstract entities defined within an enterprise architecture. Further, they demand agility and responsiveness to address the frequently changing business requirements. Traditional business process modelling and knowledge management technologies are not adequate to represent and support those processes. In this paper, we propose a framework for modelling such processes in a service-oriented fashion, extending an ontology-based enterprise architecture modelling platform. Finally, we discuss how our solution can be used as a stepping stone to cater for the management and execution of knowledge-intensive business processes in a broader context. © 2019, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 13Big Data Analytics Has Little To Do With Analytics(Springer, 2018) Rabhi, Fethi; Bandara, Madhushi; Namvar, Anahita; Demirörs, OnurAs big data analytics is adapted across multitude of domains and applications there is a need for new platforms and architectures that support analytic solution engineering as a lean and iterative process. In this paper we discuss how different software development processes can be adapted to data analytic process engineering, incorporating service oriented architecture, scientific workflows, model driven engineering and semantic technology. Based on the experience obtained through ADAGE framework [1] and the findings of the survey on how semantic modeling is used for data analytic solution engineering [6], we propose two research directions - big data analytic development lifecycle and data analytic knowledge management for lean and flexible data analytic platforms.
