Conceptual mathematical models play a crucial role in the development of engineering specifications required in the detailed design process and in the test and evaluation of avionics equipment. Specifying aircraft proximity is a precursor to the development of aircraft Detect and Avoid (DAA) systems …

This paper extends the 'go-with-the-flow' method to explore enclosed environments, like oil reservoirs, pipe lines that transport liquids, and industrial tanks for processing chemicals, where sensing nodes cannot establish communication with the external world. Nonetheless, large quantities of highly …

Designing privacy-protecting Information Systems (ISs), i.e., realizing the Privacy by Design (PbD) principle, is a challenging task. This challenge stems from having many stakeholders and design trade-offs involved, which cause uncertainty in defining the problem, eliciting soft requirements, and making …

This investigation is undertaken based on the indicated improvements for fabric simulations, defined during the panel discussion “Driving the Uniformity of Material Measurements for Accurate Virtual Simulation” at the Product Innovation Apparel Conference (PI Apparel) in Berlin 2017, by experts from …

Inleiding De Nederlandse bevolking is aan het vergrijzen. Daarnaast hebben steeds meer mensen één of meerdere chronische aandoeningen. De werkdruk in de zorgsector stijgt. Technologie biedt kansen, zowel voor cliënten als zorgverleners. In dit onderzoek wordt ingegaan op de passieve en actieve personenalarmering …

Robots have been found to be effective tools for programming instruction, although it is not yet clear why students learn more using robots as compared to receiving ‘traditional’ programming instruction. In this study, 121 nine- to twelveyear-old children received a programming training in pairs, in …

Neighborhood image processing operations on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) are considered as memory intensive operations. A large memory bandwidth is required to transfer the required pixel data from external memory to the processing unit. On-chip image buffers are employed to reduce this data …

In recent years, a step change has been seen in the rate of adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies by manufacturers and industrial organizations alike. This article discusses the current state of the art in the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies within the construction industry. Increasing complexity …
