Agent-based models (ABMs) are important tools for predicting infectious disease epidemics and for designing effective interventions. ABMs take into account individual differences, for instance in contact rate. The drawbacks of ABMs are high complexity and low performance. In this paper, we present a …

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 …

This thesis is based on the graduation assignment to design a fitting integration between Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 and Field Vision. ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems is currently in the middle of a huge implementation project that aims to implement a new ERP system for all its subsidiary companies. Because …

“Together a family” is a research on the effect of the module Psychomotor System therapy (PMST) on the positioning of the parents in a family with at least one child with the diagnose autism. Autism does not only affects the child, but the whole family. PMST can give a family the opportunity to grow and …

Path tracking driver models assume the observed path deviation ahead of the vehicle to be proportionally transferred to a corrective steering input. The most simple version of such a model includes three parameters, a single preview distance, a steering gain and a delay time, being examined in this paper, …

Western-European consumers have become not only more demanding on product availability in retail outlets but also on other food attributes such as quality, integrity, and safety. When (re)designing food supply-chain networks, from a logistics point of view, one has to consider these demands next to traditional …

The Dutch greenhouse horticultural industry is characterized by world leadership in high-tech innovation. The dynamics of this playing field are innovation in production systems and automation, reduction in energy consumption and sharing limited space. However, international competitive advantage of …

Wikipedia is often considered as an example of ‘collaborative knowledge’. Researchers have contested the value of Wikipedia content on various accounts. Some have disputed the ability of anonymous amateurs to produce quality information, while others have contested Wikipedia’s claim to accuracy and neutrality. …

This paper presents a multi-layer scheme to control a formation of three mobile robots. Each layer works as an independent module, dealing with a specific part of the problem of formation control, thus giving to the system more flexibility. In order to reduce formation errors, the proposed architecture …

Dit werk presenteert de ontwikkeling van een adaptieve controller voor dynamische compensatie van mobiele robots van het eenwieler-type en hun gebruik in een gedecentraliseerde aansturing van een leider-volgsysteem. In dit controlesysteem zijn er geen uitwisselingen van informatie nodig tussen de robots …
