Book Part Citation - Scopus: 4Parallel Data Reduction Techniques for Big Datasets(IGI Global, 2016) Yıldırım, A.A.; Özdoǧan, C.; Watson, D.Data reduction is perhaps the most critical component in retrieving information from big data (i.e., petascale-sized data) in many data-mining processes. The central issue of these data reduction techniques is to save time and bandwidth in enabling the user to deal with larger datasets even in minimal resource environments, such as in desktop or small cluster systems. In this chapter, the authors examine the motivations behind why these reduction techniques are important in the analysis of big datasets. Then they present several basic reduction techniques in detail, stressing the advantages and disadvantages of each. The authors also consider signal processing techniques for mining big data by the use of discrete wavelet transformation and server-side data reduction techniques. Lastly, they include a general discussion on parallel algorithms for data reduction, with special emphasis given to parallel waveletbased multi-resolution data reduction techniques on distributed memory systems using MPI and shared memory architectures on GPUs along with a demonstration of the improvement of performance and scalability for one case study. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 1Enterprise Architecture for Personalization of E-Government Services: Reflections From Turkey(IGI Global, 2012) Erdem, A.; Medeni, İ.T.; Medeni, T.D.As there has not yet been enough work on enterprise architectures for fully integrated knowledge-based, highly-sophisticated (citizen-oriented) personalized services, this chapter aims to articulate a perspective to design architectures for the development and provision of sophisticated, personalized services. Doing so, the authors benefit from their knowledge and experience in the Turkish e-Government Gateway (eGG) and general e-Government services development and provision. First providing an introduction and background information, the chapter discusses the development of eGG services in Turkey, and then provides a visionary suggestion for knowledge-based personalized, citizen-centric e-Government. Among the suggested perspectives, an E-Citizen Decision Support System, and Entity-Utility and Information Flow Model could be useful for eGG development in Turkey and elsewhere. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 1The NGO Forum(IGI Global, 2008) Nahar, Nurun; Medeni, Tunç Durmuş; Medeni, TolgaThis article examines the unique characteristics of the NGO forum as a networked organization, that is, an organization structure that relies on multiparty cooperative relationships between people across structural, temporal and geographic boundaries. It studies the working methodology of the forum to discover the knowledge creation process and how such an organization utilizes its experience and knowledge work to be a successful development partner with all concerned stakeholders. Moreover, communication among forum stakeholders is not the result of random, but deliberate interactions done in the manner of a community of practice (CoP), which in turn is a part of the epistemic community that is influencing the national, global policies on water and sanitation. The study also brings out that an “environmental information system” is very important for it to function as a networked organization. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Book Part Business Information Systems, Importance of Information, Business Intelligence, Corporate Excellence, and ICTs Within the Development of Organizations(IGI Global, 2024) Gökmen, A.; Temiz, D.An important shift takes places in organizations which is the shift in priorities to strategic management and increasing human demand for reliable information to run the business competitively in the global context. Nevertheless, executives and managers are exposed to a considerable amount of information which is both invaluable, as well as difficult to acquire, process, store, disseminate and utilize. Therefore, the objective of this study is to focus on the subjects as business information systems, information systems, business intelligence, corporate excellence, business intelligence, ICTs and other topics related to these issues in order to emphasize the importance of information and knowledge in the 21st century. © 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.

It covers the voluntary practices for the solution of social problems. Similar to other areas, new media applications offer new opportunities in terms of corporate social responsibility practices. In addition, it is now possible for companies to benefit from four different types of media: "paid, earned, shared, and owned media". The purpose of this study is to reveal how corporations take advantage of paid, owned, earned, and shared media using new media applications in their social responsibility practices. For this purpose, the Vodafone Turkey Foundation 's #BuMamaBenden project is selected as a case study and examined. The research results show that new media applications can be used as an effective tool to reach people. Moreover, the coordinated use of these four media types can increase the impact of corporate social responsibility projects and keeps them alive. © 2021, IGI Global.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 4Cyber Attacks and Preliminary Steps in Cyber Security in National Protection(IGI Global, 2015) Aydin, F.; Tolga Pusatli, O.Cyber attacks launched by individuals and/or supported by nation states have increased due to the prevalence of information technologies at critical infrastructure of the states. In this chapter, such attacks and consecutive impacts are visited. In connection with this issue, evolution of cyber threats from annoying malware to serious weapons is studied by examples; hence, precautions against such threats are visited and usage of anti-malware applications as prevalent precautions is assessed within the scope. Selected information security standards and strategies of selected states and precautions for cyber security of Turkey are studied. Our findings underline that educated citizens and companies along with public institutions should cooperate to provide a nationwide cyber security. Consequently, it is defended that governments should play an affective role to protect, educate, and guide governmental and private companies and citizens on the cyber security by promoting the cyber security topic in the successive national development plans. © 2015, IGI Global.

Replacement Decision in Information Systems(IGI Global, 2012) Tolga Pusatli, O.; Regan, B.An extensive literature review shows that Information Systems (IS) are changed and eventually replaced by substitutes under the influence of productivity, popularity, and specialisation of IS along with associated available support facilities, maintenance activities, failures, and user feedback. This chapter compiles those factors emerged from software engineering, IS, software quality assurance measurements, and computer science literature. A final product is a proposed model bringing those factors together as they are suspected to raise a need for taking the decision of evaluating change requests that may lead to a further maintenance or replace the IS. While keeping in mind that limitations on advanced testing exist, an expected service of such a model may help decision makers to explain maintenance/replacement decision of IS/component in a more itemized manner, hence diminish overburden pressure of experience responsibility on them. © 2012, IGI Global.Book Part Board Structure and Sustainability Performance: a Study on Turkish Manufacturing Companies(IGI Global, 2025) Aksu, A.; Şener, İ.; Kadir Varoğlu, A.The adoption of the innovative perspective of Industry 5.0 at the highest level in organizations is important for ensuring sustainability in every field and the board of directors’ role becomes increasingly important in improving companies' sustainability performance.
