Liu, B. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)As simulation systems get more and more complex, the study of multi-resolution modeling (MRM) remains an exciting and fertile area of research. Contrasting its abundant successful use cases, a rigorous mathematical foundation is still lacking in MRM. In this paper, we propose a quotient space based multi-resolution modeling (QMRM) theory...journal article 2017

van Duin, Ron (author), Geerlings, H (author), Oey, M.A. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)The increase in population, high standards of living and rapid urbanization has led to an increasing demand for food across the globe. The global trade has made it possible to meet this demand by enabling transport of different food products from one part of the world to another. In this trade, refrigerated containers (reefers) play an important...conference paper 2017

Vleeshouwer, Tim (author), van Duin, Ron (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)Een groeiende e-commerce zorgt voor een toenemend aantal thuisbezorgingen, wat leidt tot overlast in de vorm van congestie, uitstoot van broeikasgassen, onveiligheid en geluidsoverlast, vooral in woonwijken. Huidige methoden voor thuisbezorgdiensten, veelal een bestelbusje, zijn niet afdoende om in de toekomst deze negatieve effecten tegen te...conference paper 2017

Roungas, V. (author), Meijer, S.A. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)Thirty years of research on validation and verification (V\&V) has returned a plethora of methods, statistical techniques, and reported case studies. It is that abundance of methods that poses a major challenge. Because of overlap between methods and time and budget constraints, it is impossible to apply all the available methods in a single...conference paper 2017

Xie, X. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author), Gu, Feng (author)Data assimilation is an analysis technique which aims to incorporate measured observations into a dynamic system model in order to produce accurate estimates of the current state variables of the system. Although data assimilation is conventionally applied in continuous system models, it is also a desired ability for its discrete event...conference paper 2016

Zhang, M. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author), Meng, Rongqing (author), Chen, Bin (author), Qiu, Xiaogang (author)Spatial contacts among human beings are considered as one of the influential factors during the transmission of contagious diseases, such as influenza and tuberculosis. Therefore, representing and understanding spatial contacts plays an important role in epidemic modeling research. However, most current research only considers regular spatial...journal article 2016

Kurapati, S. (author), Lukosch, H.K. (author), Cunningham, S. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)Planning tasks in modern, fully automated container terminals require a high awareness of the complex situation, and successful planning strategies. Operational planning includes both strategies of planning and resource management. As planning procedures are not (yet) fully automated, a skilled workforce of planners is needed to conduct the...conference paper 2016

Lukosch, H.K. (author), Kurapati, S. (author), Groen, D (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)Background. Complex, dynamic systems require flexible workforces with skills and attitudes responding to the dynamic work environment. Traditional, formal classroom oriented learning approaches often do not sufficiently support the development of such skills and attitudes and do not provide situated learning activities. Aim and Method. We...journal article 2016

Lukosch, H.K. (author), Groen, D (author), Kurapati, S. (author), Klemke, R (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)This study introduces the concept of microgames to support situated learning in order to foster situational awareness (SA) of planners in seaport container terminals. In today’s complex working environments, it is often difficult to develop the required level of understanding of a given situation, described as situational awareness. A container...journal article 2016

Huang, Yilin (author), Verbraeck, A. (author), Seck, M (author)The graph transformation based method presented in this paper can automatically generate simulation models assuming that the models are intended for a certain domain. The method differs from other methods in that: the data used for model generation does not contain specifications of the model structures to be generated; the generated simulation...journal article 2016

(author)With more flexible and large-scale learning environments, new design requirements for games emerge. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are one of the most important innovations in the learning field. Still, it is a challenge to motivate learners and to keep them motivated in such huge learning environments. To address this challenge, we...book chapter 2016

Kurapati, S. (author), Lukosch, H.K. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author), Brazier, F.M. (author)Seaports are crucial interfaces in global intermodal freight transportation networks. Their complex operations, connectedness to external stakeholders, and increasing volumes of goods to be handled make them vulnerable to internal and external disruptions. Research has shown that disruptions in seaports can cause undesirable ripple effects,...journal article 2015
