Csop+Rp: A Novel Constraints Satisfaction Model For Requirements Prioritizationin Large-Scale Software Systems, Soheil Afraz, Hassan Rashidi, Naser Mikaeilvand Jan 2021

Csop+Rp: A Novel Constraints Satisfaction Model For Requirements Prioritizationin Large-Scale Software Systems, Soheil Afraz, Hassan Rashidi, Naser Mikaeilvand

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

One of the main factors in the failure of software projects is the lack of attention to their requirements prioritization. In this paper, we propose a decision-oriented methodology with a novel model for requirements prioritization (RP) in large-scale software systems. The model is formulated based on the constraint satisfaction optimization problems (CSOP) approach, which we call CSOP+RP. The main objective of the model is to maximize the quality of the software in total, subject to the constraints on the budgets and importance level that pre-determined by the administrator. To evaluate CSOP+RP, we applied it to the police command-and-control system (PCCS), …

Robust And Efficient Ebg-Backed Wearable Antenna For Ism Applications, Ayesha Saeed, Asma Ejaz, Humayun Shahid, Yasar Amin, Hannu Tenhunen

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A structurally compact, semiflexible wearable antenna composed of a distinctively miniaturized electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structure is presented in this work. Designed for body-centric applications in the 5.8 GHz band, the design draws heavily from a novel planar geometry realized on Rogers RT/duroid 5880 laminate with a compact physical footprint spanning lateral dimensions of $0.6$$\lambda$$_0$$\times$$0.06$$\lambda$$_0$. Incorporating a 2$\times$2 EBG structure at the rear of the proposed design ensures sufficient isolation between the body and the antenna, doing away with the performance degradation associated with high permittivity of the tissue layer. The peculiar antenna geometry allows for reduced backward radiation and …


A Model Of Service Differentiation Burst Assembling And Padding For Improvingtransmission Efficiency In Obs Networks, Van Hoa Le, Hong Quoc Nguyen, Thanh Chuong Dang, Viet Minh Nhat Vo Jan 2021

A Model Of Service Differentiation Burst Assembling And Padding For Improvingtransmission Efficiency In Obs Networks, Van Hoa Le, Hong Quoc Nguyen, Thanh Chuong Dang, Viet Minh Nhat Vo

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Service differentiation is an indispensable requirement for transmission in optical burst switching (OBS) networks, which can be based on offset-time, burst-length, or both, offset-time and burst-length. The offset time based approach sets a large offset time for high priority bursts and a small offset time for low priority bursts. Whereas, with burst length based approach, high priority bursts are short in size and low priority bursts are long in length. A combination of these two approaches promises to provide flexible service differentiation. The paper proposes a model of service differentiation burst assembling and padding, in which the assembly time threshold …

Hc-Fft: Highly Configurable And Efficient Fft Implementation On Fpga, Paki̇ze Ergül, H. Fati̇h Uğurdağ, Doğancan Davutoğlu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

FFT is one of the basic building blocks in many applications such as sensors, radars, communications. For some applications, e.g., real-time spectral monitoring and analysis, FFT needs to be "run-time configurable" so that the system is real-time. When examining the previous work on configurable real-time (FPGA-based) FFT implementations, we see that the degree of configurability is less than what is desired. In this paper, a new FFT architecture is proposed, which has a high degree of run-time configurability and yet does not compromise area or throughput. The configurable parameters of this design are the number of FFT points (up to …


An Observer Based Temperature Estimation In Cooking Heterogeneous Mixtures:A Turkish Coffee Machine Application, Arda Dönerkayali, Türker Türker Jan 2021

An Observer Based Temperature Estimation In Cooking Heterogeneous Mixtures:A Turkish Coffee Machine Application, Arda Dönerkayali, Türker Türker

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A high-precision temperature information is required to follow the recipe in automatic cooking processes of heterogeneous liquids. Therefore, measurement equipment plays a crucial role in appliances developed for automatic cooking processes. However, it is difficult to obtain the temperature information in such appliances since the sensors cannot be located inside the heterogeneous liquid and the diffusion model is not precise in general. In this manner, a method is proposed to estimate the temperature of the heterogeneous mixture during the cooking process. This is achieved by the utilization of only one temperature sensor located at the outside wall of the cooking …

The criticality of investigating the white blood cell (WBC) count cannot be underestimated, as white blood cells are an important component of the body's defence system. From helping to diagnose hidden infections to insinuating the presence of comorbidities like immunodeficiency, an accurate white blood cell count can contribute significantly to shape a physician?s assessment. The manual process performed by the pathologists for the classification of WBCs is a time consuming and tedious task, which is further disadvantaged by a lack of accuracy. This study concentrates on the automatic detection and classification of WBC without data augmentation into four subtypes such …

Various eye diseases affect the quality of human life severely and ultimately may result in complete vision loss. Ocular diseases manifest themselves through mostly visual indicators in the early or mature stages of the disease by showing abnormalities in optics disc, fovea, or other descriptive anatomical structures of the eye. Cataract is among the most harmful diseases that affects millions of people and the leading cause of public vision impairment. It shows major visual symptoms that can be employed for early detection before the hypermature stage. Automatic diagnosis systems intend to assist ophthalmological experts by mitigating the burden of manual …

The detection of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in millions of diabetic patients across the globe is a challenging problem. Diagnosis of retinopathy is a lengthy and tedious process, requiring a medical professional to assess the individual fundus images of a patient's retina. This process can be automated by applying deep learning (DL) technology given a huge dataset. The problems associated with DL are the unavailability of a large dataset and their higher training time. The DL model's best performance is achieved using set of optimal hyperparameters (OHPs) obtained by performing costly iterations of hyperparameter optimization (HPO). These problems can be addressed …

Attention Augmented Residual Network For Tomato Disease Detection Andclassification, Getinet Yilma Abawatew, Seid Belay, Kumie Gedamu, Maregu Assefa, Melese Ayalew, Ariyo Oluwasanmi, Zhiguang Qin

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Deep learning techniques help agronomists efficiently identify, analyze, and monitor tomato health. CNN (convolutional neural network) locality constraint and existing small train sample adversely influenced disease recognition performance. To alleviate these challenges, we proposed a discriminative feature learning attention augmented residual (AAR) network. The AAR network contains a stacked pre-activated residual block that learns deep coarse level features with locality context, whereas the attention block captures salient feature sets while maintaining the global relationship in data points, attention features augment the learning of the residual block. We used conditional variational generative adversarial network (CVGAN) image reconstruction network and augmentation techniques …
