Programming & Computation Theory

Dr. Yilmaz has more than 15-year extensive software design and programming experience with C, C++, Java, and so on. He is fascinated by the challenges of constructing large, complex software systems – software engineering. His research in software programming comprises the following topics,

- - - Discrete event system (DES) simulation,
      - Re-implementation of NS3 in Java [GitHub]
    - BigData network simulation and best-performance analysis
    - Software quality metrics (SQM),
    - The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure,
    - Programming language design / implementation / translation,
      - Dr. Yilmaz is the inventor of Alpharabius programming language.
    - Scientific numerical computations (BLAS / LAPACK),
      - Implementation of BLAS in Java [GitHub]
