    Designing a Real-time Remote Control System for Undergraduate Engineering and Engineering Technology Students
    Yabanova, I; Taskin, S; Ekiz, H; Oguz, Y; Akaslan, D; Yumurtaci, M
    This paper explains the design of a control system intended to enhance the quality of education in engineering and engineering technology departments and considers the use of various concepts: remote-access, reconfigurable properties, and multi-user controls. Controlling the system's hardware is possible by using fuzzy logic and PID control methods to teach several engineering concepts in the field of automatic control (i.e., DC motor and temperature control). MD parameters and fuzzy logic membership rules can be modified by authorizing remote users. A Web interface was also designed as part of the system to create an opportunity for the end-users to observe real-time changes in DC motor and temperature control. Modifications to the control system's parameters also enable users to record output to their own personal computers via the Internet; this allows users from. other engineering institutions to access and modify the PID and fuzzy logic membership rules for more experiences. In ibis way, various theoretical and practical concepts associated with the field of automatic control can be implemented without any limitations. The overall findings from this study indicate that engineering and engineering technology curricula in any institution can effectively be delivered using the Internet to overcome the limitations of distance, as remote-access experiments are becoming highly applicable anywhere and anytime.

    The Extensible Analogy for Supporting the Aspects of Smart Cities: Demander and Supplier
    Akaslan, D; Taskin, S; Oguz, Y
    The smart city is still an emerging concept due to the certain and complex requirements of individuals and community. However, there is an agreement among people that ICT will have a critical role in the sense, analysis, and integration of services in smart cities. Several models, simulations and theories have been proposed to facilitate the life of people and community in smart cities. This paper simulates a smart city to deal with the complex and certain requirements of people in smart cities in the foreseeable future.

    An Analogy between Womb and Home for Supporting the Aspects of Smart Cities
    Akaslan, D; Taskin, S
    A number of utilities should be delivered to householders to fulfil certain requirements via disparate infrastructures associated with production, distribution and consumption. Since the major of these utilities require enormous expenditure and bring complexity, undesired interactions and difficulty in installation, maintenance and management are always encountered. To deal with these issues, a number of models for the single-utility product have been proposed such as the blood of city and the umbilical cording vision. In this study, we propose a model by drawing an analogy between a womb and home so as to supply all services through one utility product. To form the mental picture of the analogy, the life cycle from the birth to the death are taken into consideration in four aspects: foetus as the householder, placenta as the security, umbilical cording as the networking, and amniotic fluid as the stabilizer of the indoor temperature.
