  • Önel, Tolga. (Thesis (Ph.D.)-Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2009., 2009.)
    In this thesis we aim to design efficient algorithms for wireless ad hoc sensor networks that are supporting network-centric warfare operations. These algorithms should conform to the hard end to end QoS requirements. They ...
  • Ulaş, Mehmet Aydın. (Thesis (Ph.D.)-Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2009., 2009.)
    In this thesis, the main purpose is to combine multiple models to increase accuracy, while at the same time keeping a check on complexity. Towards this aim, we propose two methods, and these methods are tested by simulations ...
  • Özgövde, Bahri Atay. (Thesis (Ph.D.)-Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2009., 2009.)
    In this work, we devise a framework for incorporating the application dependence into the lifetime measurement process of the wireless sensor networks, thereafter via extensive experiments, demonstrate the signi cance of ...
  • Şensoy, Murat. (Thesis (Ph.D.)-Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2008., 2008.)
    In this dissertation, we examine the problem of service selection in an e‐commerce setting where consumer agents cooperate to identify providers that would satisfy their service needs the most. There are three major ...
