Applications for Elderly People
Developing applications for elderly
or chronically ill people. Leveraging the power of mobile sensing, we
will develop brand new apps with Android phones and Galaxy tablets which
are equipped with GPS, microphone, an accelerometer and cameras. Using
these sensors we'll develop context-aware assitive applications for the
elderly and/or people with cognitive disabilities. Typical applications
involve location tracking using GPS, activity recognition using
accelerometer, medication reminder, daily routine tracking. If you have
better ideas you are encouraged to develop them. This project requires
Java for Android development skills. You are expected to have these
skills.

| Wearable Activity Recognition System
This project involves the design and development of a wearable activity
recognition system. The system will be developed on Arduino platform. (http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardLilyPad).
Firstly, a very fashionable and unobtrusive smart textile will be
designed and developed using Arduino Lilypad parts. Knitting skills are
required at this stage. Secondly, a data collecting system that is
capable of communicating with the smart textile will be developed and
tested on real users. The data collection system is required to run on a
touch-screen Android tablet PC or smartphone. Android (Java) knowledge
is essential.

| Location Based Service Provider for
Gediz Main Campus
The primary objective of the project is to develop a location based
service provider for the Gediz main campus. To use our application users
are only required to have an android smart phone or tablet PC with the
capability of GPS and GPRS. By using this application the users can
learn information about various events/activities going on in the Gediz
Main Campus through a friendly user interface. The user interface is
provided text-based and map-based. In text-based user interface the
users are able to learn various different type of information about the
requested services. Furthermore in map-based user interface the users
can see their location by the use of Google Maps, besides using the
provided services by this system. The system that will be developed is
aimed to be used by Gediz students who would like to benefit from the
services that are provided. However the application can be extended for
all İzmir such as information about museums, bus schedules etc… can be
provided since the system supports the necessary extensions for these
and other facilities as well.

| Frameworks for
Context-Aware Pervasive Systems (FCAPSYS), Fatih University-Research
Fund Project, 6/2007 – 6/2009
FCAPSYS explores new ways of enabling and
exploiting new wireless connectivity solutions (such as 802.11n) in
pervasive computing systems and improving the effectiveness of current
and future generation wireless networking and mobile computing
technologies. Our ultimate objective in this project is to enhance
wireless functionality in the local area using emerging new technologies
and to push local area wireless system performance and functionality
into the wide area.
We will design and construct software
frameworks and hardware systems mainly on top of the available 802.11
WLAN infrastructure on the Fatih University and the new wireless systems
such as 802.11n devices that enable quick-and-easy information exchange
between diverse set of wireless devices, and build a foundation for
creating applications and services that are both mobile-aware and
context-aware. Our systems will be designed to adapt dynamically to the
hostile radio environment and to the changing network topology. Our
project emphasizes rapid prototyping and scenario based design so that
developers, researchers and end-users can experiment with actual systems
in our campus.
This project will investigate a new
breed of computer applications termed context-aware pervasive systems,
and attempt to provide architectural blueprints for building
context-aware behavior into applications. The focus of the project is to
build real systems to enable Pervasive Computing in our campus. FCAPSYS
aims at developing middleware and protocols for service provisioning on
mobile devices such as Packet PCs, Smart Phones, and fixed computers.
The project FCAPSYS will design, implement, deploy, and evaluate a
large-scale pervasive system using the available 802.11 infrastructure
in the Fatih University Campus demonstrating the concept of a
“context-aware pervasive system” that spans portable, handheld, desktop
and infrastructure computers. It will be possible to design and develop
emerging new pervasive services such as location services, multimedia
communication services like voice and video applications, on top of our
frameworks for the Fatih University Campus.

| WiPoDv2: This is the second
fully functional version of WiPoD running near our Wireless Lab floor
using 3 CISCO 1100 access points as location reference points. It will
provide the location information for SORWiM indoor applications.
|
| SORWiM-WiPoD Integration: The
WiPoD client application currently has a decentralized architecture and
does not need a server. It will be connected to the SORWiM server to
provide the indoor location information for the mobile user.
|
| Location Based Services for Indoor
Environments: We work on the research and development problems
of different mobile location based services (LBS) applications based on
service oriented computing using the basic and composite services
provided by the SORWiM middleware. SORWiM currently has four basic
services and two composite services which can be used as building blocks
of such wireless applications. We need to develop some more new basic
and composite services for more complex mobile applications and LBS.

SORWiM (Service Oriented Reflective
Wireless Middleware) March 2006 - July 2006
In this project the concepts and a working software prototype SORWiM,
Service Oriented Reflective Wireless Middleware are developed. It
provides basic (Event, Messaging, Location, and Redirection) and
composite services for efficient and reliable information discovery and
dissemination in ad hoc mobile environments. One of the primary goals of
this research is to investigate how the construction of mobile services
can benefit from the Service-Oriented paradigm.

| WiPoD
(Wireless Position Detector) April 2005 - July 2005
WiPoD is a pure software based location
determination and tracking (positioning) system. It uses empirical
signal strength measurements from different wireless access points for
mobile user positioning. It is designed to determine the location of
users having 802.11 enabled mobile devices in an 802.11 WLAN
infrastructure and track them in real time. WiPoD is the first main
module in our LBS (Location Based Services) framework. We tested
K-Nearest Neighbor and Triangulation algorithms to estimate the position
of a mobile user. We propose a supportable, i.e. understandable,
maintainable, scalable and portable wireless positioning system
architecture for an LBS framework. The WiPoD software has a
multithreaded structure and was designed and implemented with paying
attention to supportability features and real-time constraints and using
object oriented design principles.

| SEWA (Supportable Enterprise Web Architecture)
April 2005 -
September 2005
This project outlines a Supportable Enterprise Web Architecture (SEWA)
which is highly supportable, i.e. understandable, maintainable and
scalable, and based on software engineering principles particularly
object oriented design techniques. The development of SEWA emphasizes a
roundtrip architectural modeling lifecycle. The lifecycle begins with
the definition of a meta-architecture aimed at minimizing and managing
software complexity. It then embraces various supportability metrics to
ensure that the implementation conforms to the architectural design and
that the resulting system is supportable. The architecture is based on
basic and enterprise design patterns and on few new patterns specific to
SEWA. It also describes best practices and design guidelines for
building a real world enterprise web application based on SEWA using JSF,
Spring and Hibernate as pluggable sample frameworks to evaluate the
supportability and flexibility of the architecture.
