Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search for Rich and Real-World Vehicle Routing Problems

In optimization, many variants of the Vehicle Routing Problem exists with all sorts of restrictions and characteristics. Heuristics that find near-optimal solutions are known and tested on in the literature, such as heuristics that escape local minima with the use of large neighborhoods. An example is Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search, which...

A Comparative Information Visualization Approach to Physically-Based Rendering

In this work we present a novel information visualization framework to gain in- sight into the light transport in a physically-based rendering setting. The framework consists of a sampling-based data reduction technique, an extended interactive parallel coordinates plot that provides an overview of the attributes linked to each light sample, 2D...

Feasibility study of a superconducting helicopter electrical propulsion motor

As a response to the need for lower carbon transmissions for means of transportation, the aerospace industry is looking into more electric aircraft. One concept of such an aircraft is a hybrid helicopter that uses highly efficient diesel engines and electrical propulsion motors. The feasibility of this concept is greatly determined by the...

Goal-driven behavior in S-CLAIM

Describes the multi-agent system in development in LIP6, Paris together with research done towards goal-driven behavior and it's implementation in the project.

Betrouwbaarheid van positionering in multipath-omgevingen

In deze thesis gaat het voornamelijk over het multipatheffect en over de algoritmes die gebruikt worden om een betere benadering van de positie van de bron te krijgen. Het totale project van de gehele groep gaat over een positioneringsysteem genaamd ChildFinder. De thesis is in duidelijke delen verdeeld. Eerst wordt voornamelijk theorie...
