The Turkish "Pharmaceutical Track and Trace System" (abbreviated as İTS) defines the infrastructure constructed to track and trace all units belonging to each pharmaceutical product in Turkey. İTS is the application of the well-known "Track & Trace" structure applied to the pharmaceutical industry. The serialization providing the uniqueness of the units is ensured by the DataMatrix code instead of the formerly used barcode. The ability to track each drug unit is provided by gathering the information of each unit in every single step and action; traceability is provided by its pedigree.
In this project, I have worked as a member of the Java Team for ten months. I was in charge of developing a data warehouse for a decision support system.
The World Wide Web (web) has moved from the Desktop and now is ubiquitous. It can be accessed by a small device while the user is mobile or it can be accessed in audio if the user cannot see the content, for instance visually disabled users who use screen readers. However, since web pages are mainly designed for visual interaction; it is almost impossible to access them in alternative forms. Our overarching goal is to improve the user experience in such constrained environments by using a novel application of eye tracking technology. In brief, by relating scanpaths to the underlying source code of web pages, we aim to transcode web pages such that they are easier to access in constrained environments. The project is supported by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK).
ACTF is a framework that serves as an extensible infrastructure upon which developers can build various utilities that help evaluate and enhance the accessibility of applications and content for people with disabilities. A collection of example utilities is provided, which were created on top of the framework, such as compliance validation tools, assistive technology simulation applications, usability visualization tools, unit-testing utilities, and alternative accessible interfaces for applications. I contribute to the project as a committer by implementing VIPS Algorithm as an example segmentation utility.
Being the senior project of three computer engineers who study at Comp. Eng. Dept. of METU, SNMP Agent & Network Simulator is a network simulator that creates a virtual network environment and IP devices to test them in this environment. The user configures the network environment. After that, the simulation runs at the server, and the user can see the alarms of devices. The software product, Hurma, is a web-based application and can be accessed from any browser. We have implemented Hurma in Java using Google Web Toolkit, a powerful AJAX framework. A demo of our product that runs on Google AppEngine can be found in the links section of the project web page. The project was sponsored by Siemens EC.
Smartphones play a crucial role in daily activities, however, situationally-induced impairments and disabilities (SIIDs) can easily be experienced depending on the context. Previous studies explored the effect of context but mainly done in controlled ...
Small screen and wearable devices play a key role in most of our daily tasks and activities. However, depending on the context, users can easily experience situationally induced impairments and disabilities (SIIDs). Previous studies have defined SIIDs ...
Understanding what role a visual element plays in a web page can have a significant impact in the accessibility of that page. From an accessibility conformance testing perspective, several WCAG techniques require role identification of some visual ...
Web pages typically include many visual elements such as header and footer to support interaction with the user. However, if web pages do not comply with web accessibility guidelines, and these visual elements are not explicitly encoded in the underlying source code, they become inaccessible in alternative presentations...
Experiential transcoding aims to transcode web pages into more accessible forms based on the understanding of users' experience. Previous studies show that transcoding can improve interaction of both disabled and small screen device users. However, ...
Web pages are typically designed for visual interaction --- they include many visual elements to guide the reader. However, when they are accessed in alternative forms such as in audio, these elements are not available and therefore they become ...
Web pages consist of different visual segments, serving different purposes. Typical structural segments are header, right or left columns and main content. Segments can also have nested structure which means some segments may include other segments. ...
