Personal data is increasingly used by cities to track the behavior of their inhabitants. While the data is often used to mainly provide information to the authorities, it can also be harnessed for providing information to the citizens in real-time. In an on-going research project on increasing the awareness …

Studying real-time teacher-student interaction provides insight into student's learning processes. In this study, upper grade elementary teachers were supported to optimize their instructional skills required for co-constructing scientific understanding. First, we examined the effect of the Video Feedback …

The results obtained in this study are encouraging and important for the implementation of permeable pavement and swales in The Netherlands, since the performance of SUDS in delta areas and in areas in the world with comparable hydraulic circumstances has been viewed with skepticism. The research undertaken …

Background Exergames are becoming an increasingly popular tool for training balance ability, thereby preventing falls in older adults. Automatic, real time, assessment of the user's balance control offers opportunities in terms of providing targeted feedback and dynamically adjusting the gameplay to …

When using autonomous reconfigurable manufacturing system, that offers generic services, there is the possibility to dynamically manufacture a range of products using the same manufacturing equipment. Opportunities are created to optimally scale the production using reconfiguration means and automatically …

Mijn onderzoek bestond uit twee delen: een theoretisch en een praktisch onderzoek. Tijdens het theoretische onderzoek stelde ik de eisen aan het systeem vast. Deze eisen waren gebaseerd op de eigenschappen van de gebruikte hardware in COMbricks en op algemene handige kernmerken van de Real-Time Operating …

Dit proefschrift heeft als onderwerp de toepassing van agenttechnologie in productie en productondersteuning. Onder een agent verstaan we in deze context een autonoom opererende software entiteit die gemaakt is om een zeker doel te realiseren en daartoe met de omgeving comuniceert en zelfstandig acties …

Om te voldoen aan de nieuwe NBW toetsingsnormen hebben de waterschappen De Dommel, Aa en Maas en Brabantse Delta samen met Rijkswaterstaat opdracht gegeven aan Witteveen+Bos om een gedetailleerd hydraulisch model van optredende waterstanden te voorspellen in stroomgebied Mark-Vliet en een bijbehorende …

Remote maintenance activities in ITER will be performed by a unique set of hardware systems, supported by an extensive software kit. A layer of middleware will manage and control a complex set of interconnections between teams of operators, hardware devices in various operating theatres, and databases …

In this paper, the performance gain obtained by combining parallel peri- odic real-time processes is elaborated. In certain single-core mono-processor configurations, for example, embedded control systems in robotics comprising many short processes, process context switches may consume a considerable …
