The built environment requires energy-flexible buildings to reduce energy peak loads and to maximize the use of (decentralized) renewable energy sources. The challenge is to arrive at smart control strategies that respond to the increasing variations in both the energy demand as well as the variable …

The following graduation thesis describes the internship work carried out at VSTEP Simulation with the goal of simplifying and speeding up the workflow of the Team Content. The research started with defining what processes of the development were slowing the Team Content down and then it examines each …

Traditionally airport systems have been studied using an approach in which the different elements of the system are studied independently. Until recently scientific community has put attention in developing models and techniques that study the system using holistic approaches for understanding cause …

The aviation industry is expected to grow at a pace of 4 % per annum in the coming years, therefore it is necessary to have techniques that support the management of the resources at hand in the best possible way so that facility expansion is delayed as much as possible with the corresponding capital …

Introduction Innovation is crucial for companies who have to react to constantly changing markets. Several national and European research institutes stress the importance of developing innovation for small and medium size enterprises (SMEs).
