Gürsan, C. (author), de Gooyert, V. (author), de Bruijne, M.L.C. (author), Raaijmakers, J. (author)District heating systems are considered a feasible heating alternative to replace natural gas to mitigate emissions in cities. However, urban transitions are very complex because energy systems often operate in densely populated areas, which gives rise to all kinds of interdependencies in cities. These interdependencies can result in...journal article 2024

Ooms, Simone (author), Röggla, Thomas (author), Cesar, Pablo (author), El Ali, Abdallah (author)Within our Distributed and Interactive Systems research group, we focus on affective haptics, where we design and develop systems that can enhance human emotional states through the sense of touch. Such artificial haptic sensations can potentially augment and enhance our mind, body, and (virtual) social connections. In three works—voice...journal article 2024

Gürsan, C. (author), de Gooyert, V. (author), de Bruijne, M.L.C. (author), Rouwette, E. (author)Cities are increasingly recognized as potential motors of sustainability transitions. These transitions build on existing as well as new infrastructures, and these infrastructures mutually influence each other in many ways, a phenomenon known as infrastructure interdependencies. These infrastructure interdependencies have significant...journal article 2023

Liu, Z. (author), Schraven, D.F.J. (author), de Jong, Martin (author), Hertogh, M.J.C.M. (author)Rapid global urbanization, urban renewal and changes in people's lifestyles have led to both an increase in waste generation and more complex waste types. In response to these changes, many local governments have invested in municipal solid waste infrastructure (MSWI) to implement circular strategies. However, matching and bridging the costly...journal article 2023

(author)How can humans remain in control of artificial intelligence (AI)-based systems designed to perform tasks autonomously? Such systems are increasingly ubiquitous, creating benefits - but also undesirable situations where moral responsibility for their actions cannot be properly attributed to any particular person or group. The concept of...journal article 2022

Luteijn-Nava Guerrero, G.D.C. (author), Hansen, H.H. (author), Korevaar, G. (author), Lukszo, Z. (author)Natural gas for heating is widespread in the built environment of The Netherlands, where the government aims at limiting heat demand and reducing natural gas consumption over the coming decades. In the owner-occupied residential sector, this transition is complex and requires cooperation and coordination of individuals and groups that make...journal article 2022

Hoicka, Christina E. (author), Das, Runa R. (author), Zhao, Yuxu (author), McMaster, Maria Louise (author), Lieu, J. (author), Wyse, Susan (author)The rapid diffusion of demand-side low-carbon innovations has been identified as a key strategy for maintaining average global temperature rise at or below 1.5 °C. Diffusion research tends to focus on a single sector, or single technology case study, and on a small scope of factors that influence innovation diffusion. This paper describes a...journal article 2021

Cavalcante Siebert, L. (author), Aoki, Alexandre R (author), Lambert-Torres, Germano (author), Lambert-de-Andrada, Nelson (author), Paterakis, Nikolaos G. (author)Recent developments, such as smart metering, distributed energy resources, microgrids, and energy storage, have led to an exponential increase in system complexity and have emphasized the need to include customer behavior and social and cultural backgrounds in planning activities. This paper analyzes how emergent behavior in electricity...journal article 2020

Kloosterman, Ritsche A. (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author), Herder, P.M. (author)A significant challenge for managers of drinking water infrastructures is to make effective strategic decisions for assets with a long lifetime in an uncertain and changing environment. Water resources, which are part of the drinking water infrastructures, have a special position in this decision making process as they operate at the...journal article 2020

Luteijn-Nava Guerrero, G.D.C. (author), Korevaar, G. (author), Hansen, H.H. (author), Lukszo, Z. (author)To reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050, an energy transition is taking place in the European Union. Achieving these targets requires changes in the heating and cooling sector (H&C). Designing and implementing this energy transition is not trivial, as technology, actors, and institutions interact in complex ways....journal article 2019

Acosta, Cristina (author), Ortega, Mariana (author), Bunsen, Till (author), Koirala, B.P. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author)Integrated Community Energy Systems (ICES) are an emerging local energy system focusing on the collective use of distributed energy resources (DER). These socio-technical systems (STSs) have a high potential to advance the transition towards socially inclusive, environmentally-friendly energy systems and to stimulate the local economy. While...journal article 2018

Costa Junior, Jairo da (author), Rodrigues Santos, A.L. (author), Diehl, J.C. (author)Faced with large-scale wicked problems that include global warming, resource depletion, poverty and humanitarian emergencies, society needs new and more appropriate reasoning models. In particular, these problems pose unfamiliar challenges in contexts with poor financial and infrastructural resources. Systems-oriented design (SOD) is widely...journal article 2017

Moncada Escudero, J.A. (author), Lukszo, Z. (author), Junginger, M. (author), Faaij, A. (author), Weijnen, M.P.C. (author)The economic performance of biofuels supply chains depends on the interaction of technical characteristics as technological pathways and logistics, and social structures as actor behavior, their interactions and institutions. Traditional approaches focus on the technical problems only. Little attention has been paid to the institutional...journal article 2017

(author)The EU has set ambitious targets for an energy transition. While research often focuses on technology, institutions or actors, a transition requires complex coordination and comprehensive analysis and design. We propose a framework accounting for technology, institutions and actors' perspective to design in socio-technical systems. We present...journal article 2017

Passenier, D (author), Mols, C (author), Bim, J (author), Sharpanskykh, Alexei (author)Safety culture is often understood as encompassing organizational members’ shared attitudes, beliefs, perceptions and values associated with safety. Safety culture theory development is fraught with inconsistencies and superficiality of measurement methods, because the dynamic and political nature of culture is often ignored. Traditionally,...journal article 2016

Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Dijkema, G.P.J. (author)A framework for the modeling and simulation of transitions is presented. A transition, “substantial change in the state of a socio-technical system”, typically unfolds over a long timespan. We therefore suggest to use simulation to inform transition managers on the effect of their decisions. Transition models preferably meet five functional...journal article 2015

Kroes, P.A. (author)My aim is to question whether the introduction of new technologies in society may be considered to be genuine experiments. I will argue that they are not, at least not in the sense in which the notion of experiment is being used in the natural and social sciences. If the introduction of a new technology in society is interpreted as an experiment...journal article 2015

Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Van der Lei, T. (author)Climate change is likely to affect how society will function in this century. Because climate change effects may be severe, a next step is to study not only the effects on natural systems, but also the effects on built infrastructure systems and, in response to anticipated effects, the adaptation of those systems. Studies that discuss...journal article 2014

Nickel, P.J. (author), Franssen, M.P.M. (author), Kroes, P. (author)In this paper we raise the question whether technological artifacts can properly speaking be trusted or said to be trustworthy. First, we set out some prevalent accounts of trust and trustworthiness and explain how they compare with the engineer’s notion of reliability. We distinguish between pure rational-choice accounts of trust, which do not...journal article 2010
