    Software Defined Communication Framework for Smart Grid to Meet Energy Demands in Smart Cities
    (IEEE, 2019-04) Faheem, Muhammad; Umar, Muhammad; Butt, Rizwan Aslam; Raza, Basit; Ngadi, Md. Asri; Gungor, Vehbi Cagri
    In smart cities, the electricity is an essential component since it preserves a certain level of residents' life quality and provisions the entire spectrum of their economic activities. Thus, a smart way is essential to develop cities without disregarding energy issues. In this scope, the smart grid paradigm offers power supply in an efficient, sustainable and economical manner with minimal impact on the environment and can meet the future energy demands. However, real-time monitoring and control of the smart grid (SG) for continuous and quality-aware power supply in smart cities (SCs) is challenging and requires an advanced quality of service (QoS)-aware communication framework. In this context, this research aims to present a novel data-gathering scheme by using the Internet of software-defined mobile sinks (SDMSs) and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in the smart grid. The extensive simulation results conducted through the EstiNet9.0 indicate that the designed scheme outperforms existing approaches and achieves its defined goals for events-drive applications in the SG.

    Offer : Referees Suggester for the Journal Editors
    (IEEE, 2019) Coskun, Mustafa; Hacilar, Hilal; Gezer, Cengiz; Gungor, Vehbi Cagri
    Assigning appropriate referees to a journal or conference paper is a vital task for many reasons, including enhancing the journal venue quality and reliance, fair judgement of the papers, and among many others. While assigning the referees to the papers, the editors of a journal venue need to find suitable referees who are both related to field of the given paper and have no conflict of interest with the authors of the paper. Editorial-wise this referee assignment process is implemented in a hand-crafted manner, i.e., the editor needs to find the most suitable referees to the paper via a search engine and manually refines the all unrelated and having conflict of interest authors to the paper authors. Clearly, such a manual referee searching process is tedious and time consuming for the editors. In this paper, we present an alternate automated approach for assigning referees problem using intrinsic random walk with restart proximity measure. In our experiments based on a comprehensive DBLP networks, we show that our approach, called OFFER, significantly outperforms state-of-the-art the random walk with restart based method.

    Network Intrusion Detection Based on Machine Learning Strategies: Performance Comparisons on Imbalanced Wired, Wireless, and Software Defined Networking (SDN) Network Traffics
    (Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2024) Hacilar, Hilal; Aydin, Zafer; Gungor, Vehbi Cagri
    The rapid growth of computer networks emphasizes the urgency of addressing security issues. Organizations rely on network intrusion detection systems (NIDSs) to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access and theft. These systems analyze network traffic to detect suspicious activities, such as attempted breaches or cyberattacks. However, existing studies lack a thorough assessment of class imbalances and classification performance for different types of network intrusions: wired, wireless, and software-defined networking (SDN). This research aims to fill this gap by examining these networks' imbalances, feature selection, and binary classification to enhance intrusion detection system efficiency. Various techniques such as SMOTE, ROS, ADASYN, and SMOTETomek are used to handle imbalanced datasets. Additionally, eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) identifies key features, and an autoenco der (AE) assists in feature extraction for the classification task. The study evaluates datasets such as AWID, UNSW, and InSDN, yielding the best results with different numbers of selected features. Bayesian optimization fine-tunes parameters, and diverse machine learning algorithms (SVM, kNN, XGBoost, random forest, ensemble classifiers, and autoencoders) are employed. The optimal results, considering F1-measure, overall accuracy, detection rate, and false alarm rate, have been achieved for the UNSW-NB15, preprocessed AWID, and InSDN datasets, with values of [0.9356, 0.9289, 0.9328, 0.07597], [0.997, 0.9995, 0.9999, 0.0171], and [0.9998, 0.9996, 0.9998, 0.0012], respectively. These findings demonstrate that combining Bayesian optimization with oversampling techniques significantly enhances classification performance across wired, wireless, and SDN networks when compared to previous research conducted on these datasets.

    Micro-Electromechanical Systems for Underwater Environments
    (Igi Global, 2017) Tuna, Gurkan; Gungor, Vehbi Cagri
    Underwater networking technologies have brought us unforeseen ways to explore the unexplored aquatic environment and this way provided us with a large number of different kinds of applications for environmental, scientific, commercial, and military purposes. Although precise and continuous aquatic environment monitoring capability is highly important for various underwater applications, due to the unique characteristics of underwater networks such as low communication bandwidth, high error rate, node mobility, large propagation delay, and harsh underwater environmental conditions, existing solutions cannot be applied directly to underwater networks. Therefore, new solutions considering the unique features of underwater environment are highly demanded. In this chapter, the authors mainly focus on the use of wireless micro-electromechanical systems for underwater networks and present its advantages. In addition, the authors investigate the challenges and open research issues of wireless MEMS to provide an insight into future research opportunities.

    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024-11-07) Gulsen, Abdulkadir; Kolukisa, Burak; Ozdemir, Ahmet Turan; Bakir-Gungor, Burcu; Gungor, Vehbi Cagri
    Nowadays, composite materials have become prevalent across various sectors, particularly finding usage in large-scale applications such as spaceships, automobiles, and aircrafts. The accurate detection of the defects in these materials is crucial, yet traditional methods often rely on human inspection, which is susceptible to errors. Recent advancements in machine learning have enabled defect detection using ultrasonic non-destructive testing methods. This paper introduces a new dataset named UNDT, which is obtained from the scans of 60 different composite materials, generating a total of 1150 images depicting both defective and non-defective areas. Several transfer learning methods are applied on the newly introduced UNDT dataset as well as the publicly available USimgAIST ultrasonic dataset. Comparative performance assessments illustrate the significance of utilising the transfer learning approach for defect classification on ultrasonic inspection images. Furthermore, the research emphasises the substantial benefits of employing these transfer learning methods. Notably, the DenseNet121 and VGG19 models achieve the highest accuracy rates, with 98.8% and 98.6% on the UNDT and USimgAIST datasets, respectively.

    Credit Card Fraud Detection With Machine Learning Methods
    (IEEE, 2019-09) Goy, Gokhan; Gezer, Cengiz; Gungor, Vehbi Cagri
    With the increase in credit card usage of people, the credit card transactions increase dramatically. It is difficult to identify fraudulent transactions among the vast amount of credit card transactions. Although credit card fraud is limited in number of transactions, it causes serious problems in terms of financial losses for individuals and organizations. Even though large number of studies has been conducted to solve this problem, there is no generally accepted solution. In this paper, a publicly available data set is used. The unbalance problem of the data set was solved by using hybrid sampling methods together. On this data set, comparative performance evaluations have been conducted. Different from other studies, the Area Under the Curve (AUC) metric, which expresses the success in such data sets, has also been used in addition to standard performance metrics. Since it is also important to quickly detect credit card fraud transactions; the running time of different methods is also presented as another performance metric.

    Breast Cancer Detection Using a New Parallel Hybrid Logistic Regression Model Trained by Particle Swarm Optimization and Clonal Selection Algorithms
    (Wiley, 2025-04-29) Etcil, Mustafa; Dedeturk, Bilge Kagan; Kolukisa, Burak; Bakir-Gungor, Burcu; Gungor, Vehbi Cagri
    Breast cancer is one of the most widespread kinds of cancer, especially in women, and it has a high mortality rate. With the help of technology, it is possible to develop a computer-aided method for the diagnosis of breast cancer, which is crucial for effective treatment. Recent breast cancer diagnosis studies utilizing numerous machine learning models were efficient and innovative. However, it has been observed that they may have problems such as long training times and low accuracy rates. To this end, in this study, we present a new classifier that utilizes a hybrid of the clonal selection algorithm (CSA) and the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm for the training of the logistic regression (LR) model, which is named CSA-PSO-LR. The proposed method is evaluated using two publicly accessible breast cancer datasets, that is, the Wisconsin Diagnostic Breast Cancer (WDBC) database and the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Database (WBCD), with 10-fold cross-validation and Bayesian hyperparameter optimization techniques. Additionally, a CPU parallelization method is applied, which substantially shortens the training time of the model. The efficacy of the CSA-PSO-LR classifier is compared with state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms and related studies in the literature. Performance analysis indicates that the proposed method achieves 98.75% accuracy and 98.27% F1-score on the WDBC dataset, and 97.94% accuracy and 97.35% F1-score on the WBCD dataset. These results demonstrate the potential of the proposed method as an effective approach for improving breast cancer diagnosis.
