This paper introduces a novel distributed algorithm designed to optimize the deployment of access points within Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) for better service quality in infrastructure less environments. The algorithm operates based on local, independent execution by each network node, thus ensuring …

Twee sterke aardbevingen troffen de regio Thessalië op 3 maart 2021 (Mw = 6,3) en op 4 maart 2021 (Mw = 6,1). Het epicentrum van de aardbevingen lag respectievelijk ongeveer 23 en 29 km ten NW van Larissa, een van de dichtstbevolkte steden van Griekenland. Daarna volgden verschillende naschokken. Hoewel …

Sometimes religion and science are mentioned in one breath; both provide an explanatory framework for phenomena like uncertainty, chance or fate. In the meantime, science, or rather technology, has become a world religion. It’s a world religion, because technology connects: religion comes from the Latin …

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 …

Even a ruler dances a dance in which (s)he is not allowed to step on toes. Moreover, it is precisely a leader who has to take into account so many factors, that his or her life is controlled by both the agenda, and the constantly emerging dynamics. It’s impossible to get more freedom than someone who …

A novel type of application for the exploration of enclosed or otherwise difficult to access environments requires large quantities of miniaturized sensor nodes to perform measurements while they traverse the environment in a “go with the flow” approach. Examples of these are the exploration of underground …

Klanten bij een managed services provider hebben een groeiende vraag naar object storage. In deze scriptie wordt er antwoord gegeven op: Welke object storageproduct is het meest geschikt voor de implementatie van object storage in de Sentia cloud en hoe kan dit softwareproduct het beste geïmplementeerd …

In this study, Dutch and Australian planning regimes are examined to determine whether they are ready to face climate extremes. Five different “cultural” facets of spatial planning determine the differences between the two regimes. These planning characteristics are first confronted with current climate …

Swarm planning is a theory and practical approach to deal with uncertain futures. By anticipating scenarios such as a ‘post-carbon’ world and a ‘pre-adaptive’ landscape, it offers an alternative pathway to prepare for medium-term incremental and step changes. The focus is on the regional scale with a …
