Analyzing Turkish e-government websites by eye tracking
(IEEE Computer Society, 2013)Usability studies provide essential information about users' views and perceptions of efficiency, effectiveness and satisfaction of given online services. Nowadays, e-government web sites become popular. Therefore, there ... -
Are software engineers' responses to incomplete requirements related to project characteristics?
(2009)Software requirements quality affects software product quality. For high-quality software products, software requirements must be complete. When faced with incomplete requirements, software engineers attempt to fill the ... -
A case-based model for assessing the effectiveness of information systems outsourcing
(Taylor & Francis Online, 2013-07-01)The objective of the research reported in this paper is to construct a model for assessing the effectiveness of Information Systems (IS) outsourcing. “Lack of in-house expertise” and “cost effectiveness” are widely accepted ... -
Differential entropy analysis of the IDEA block cipher
(Elsevier, 2014-03-15)This paper describes a new cryptanalytic technique that combines differential cryptanalysis with Shannon entropy. We call it differential entropy (DE). The objective is to exploit the non-uniform distribution of output ... -
The effect of uncertainty on learning in game-like environments
(Elsevier, 2013-09)Considering the role of games for educational purposes, there has an increase in interest among educators in applying strategies used in popular games to create more engaging learning environments. Learning is more fun ... -
Electronic excited states of the CP29 antenna complex of green plants: A model based on exciton calculations
(2000)We have suggested a model for the electronic excited states of the minor plant antenna, CP29, by incorporating a considerable part of the current information offered by structure determination, site-directed mutagenesis, ... -
Exact expression and tight bound on pairwise error probability for performance analysis of turbo codes over Nakagami-m fading channels
(2007)This letter presents derivation for an exact and efficient expression on pairwise error probability over fully interleaved Nakagami-m fading channels under ideal channel state information at the decoder. As an outcome, ... -
An experiment to observe the impact of UML diagrams on the effectiveness of software requirements inspections
(2009)Software inspections aim to find defects early in the development process and studies have found them to be effective. However, there is almost no data available regarding the impact of UML diagram utilization in software ... -
A genuinely polynomial primal simplex algorithm for the assignment problem
(Elsevier, 1993-08-17)Akgil, M., A genuinely polynomial primal simplex algorithm for the assignment problem, Discrete Applied Mathematics 45 (1993) 93-l 15. We present a primal simplex algorithm that solves the assignment problem in :n(n+3)-4 ... -
HandVR: a hand-gesture-based interface to a video retrieval system
(Springer London, 2014-01-01)Using one’s hands in human–computer interaction increases both the effectiveness of computer usage and the speed of interaction. One way of accomplishing this goal is to utilize computer vision techniques to develop ... -
Impact of maintainability defects on code inspections
(2010)Software inspections are effective ways to detect defects early in the development process. In this paper, we analyze the impact of certain defect types on the effectiveness of code inspection. We conducted an experiment ... -
The impact of software development companies on software engineers' responses to incomplete requirements
(International Journal of Information Studies, 2009-10)It is commonly accepted that software requirements quality affects software product quality, and high-quality software products depend on complete requirements. With incomplete requirements, depending on the requirement ... -
In their words: Student feedback on an international project collaboration
(2010)In this paper, we describe a collaborative course experience between students from universities in the USA and Turkey. Student teams worked together on a software engineering project for a non-profit organization based in ... -
Incomplete software requirements and assumptions made by software engineers
(2009)Many software engineers make implicit assumptions when working with incomplete software requirements. To study assumptions made by software engineers while converting incomplete requirements to software design or to ... -
Internet censorship in Turkey
(Bilkent University, 2015-06-03)This study aims to explore Turkish citizen-consumers' understanding of and reactions to censorship of websites in Turkey by using in-depth interviews and online ethnography. In an environment where sites such as YouTube ... -
Investigation of individual factors impacting the effectiveness of requirements inspections: a replicated experiment
(Springer US, 2012-01-01)This paper presents a replication of an empirical study regarding the impact of individual factors on the effectiveness of requirements inspections. Experimental replications are important for verifying results and ... -

(2008)Clustering is an efficient method to solve scalability problems and energy consumption challenges. For this reason it is widely exploited in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications. It is very critical to determine the ... -
On Lempel-Ziv complexity of sequences
(Springer Verlag, 2006)We derive recurrences for counting the number a(n, r) of sequences of length n with Lempel-Ziv complexity r, which has important applications, for instance testing randomness of binary sequences. We also give algorithms ...
