Meijer, D.H. (author), van Bijnen, J.A.C. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Korving, J.L. (author), Post, J.A.B. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)Underground water infrastructure is essential for life in cities. The aging of these infrastructures requires maintenance strategies to maintain a minimum service level. Not all elements are equally important for the functioning of the infrastructure as a whole. Identifying the most critical elements in a network is crucial for formulating...journal article 2018

Meijer, David (author), Ubacht, J. (author)Blockchain Technology is considered as a general-purpose technology with far reaching effects. As can be seen from the discussions on blockchain applications, both practitioners and researchers struggle to get to the core of blockchain technology consequences. Especially practitioners in the governmental sector explore adequate responses to...conference paper 2018

Roungas, V. (author), Meijer, Sebastiaan (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)Simulations are the core of every railway system. Changes in the timetable and the infrastructure, or even in the internal processes of a railway company should be, and usually are, first tested through simulations. Given their significance and potential impact, simulations should be primarily validated; validation ensures-at least to some...journal article 2018

Kleiman, F. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), Meijer, S.A. (author)Developing open government by local government is cumbersome. Many local governments have no policies or are struggling to develop policies enabling to create value from open data. Policy-making is challenging due to the wicked nature of many policy problems, unclear objectives, and the involvement of diverse stakeholders. At the same time...conference paper 2018

Lei, Q. (author), Chen, G. (author), Meijer, Jonathan (author), Wisse, M. (author)Increasing grasping efficiency is very important for the robots to grasp unknown objects especially subjected to unfamiliar environments. To achieve this, a new algorithm is proposed based on the C-shape configuration. Specifically, the geometric model of the used under-actuated gripper is approximated as a C-shape. To obtain an appropriate...journal article 2018

Banken, Herman (author), Meijer, H.J.M. (author), Gousios, G. (author)Reactive Programming is a style of programming that provides developers with a set of abstractions that facilitate event handling and stream processing. Traditional debug tools lack support for Reactive Programming, leading developers to fallback to the most rudimentary debug tool available: logging to the console. In this paper, we present the...conference paper 2018

Roungas, V. (author), de Wijse, Marieke (author), Meijer, S.A. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)Debriefing is considered, by many scholars, to be a fundamental part of learning through games and simulations. Despite its significance, there is a lack of research in the area of debriefing, which results in unaddressed factors that inhibit debriefing. Research in the field is complicated by many influencing factors varying from context to...conference paper 2018

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

Meijer, F.M. (author)Requirements on the sustainable quality (e.g. energy performance) of new and existing buildings are one of the pillars building regulatory systems of European countries are founded on. The influence of EU policy goals and contents of EU Directives in the energy regulations of the Member States is clearly noticeable. The European Union has set...conference paper 2017

Alsema, Erik (author), Anink, David (author), Meijer, A. (author), Straub, A. (author), Donze, Geurt (author), van Hulten, Saskia (author)Sustainable development has been the focus of all major industries in the world, especially in the construction industry. As one of the sustainable construction modes, housing industrialization (HI) is now absorbing a growing number of attentions that lead the industry to go green. However, the implementation of HI in China is far from...conference paper 2017

Roungas, V. (author), Meijer, S.A. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)Games for decision making have developed into a powerful tool for corporations. Irrespective of their size, corporations have been increasingly using these games in order to evaluate and ascertain impact-ful business decisions and strategies. Despite their proven added value to the decision making process, there is still lack of research on...conference paper 2017

(author), Bucurenciu, Ana-Maria (author)High current capability, good integration in urban area and zero external magnetic field are advantages of HTS cables that make them interesting for implementation in the Netherlands. So far experience with HTS cable projects is good, but still limited. Yet there is a need for a proper testing practice. Due to limited operational experience,...conference paper 2017

Meijer, Jonathan (author), Lei, Q. (author), Wisse, M. (author)This paper identifies high performing motion planners among three manipulators when carrying out grasp executions. Simultaneously, this paper presents useful benchmarking data. Sampling-based motion planners of OMPL available for use in MoveIt! are compared by performing several grasping-related motion planning problems. The performance of the...conference paper 2017

Wang, Guijie (author), Heidari, A. (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author), Meijer, G.C.M. (author)This paper describes the design of a precision bipolar junction transistor based temperature sensor implemented in standard 0.7-μmCMOS technology. It employs substrate p-n-ps as sensing elements,which makes it insensitive<br/>to the effects of mechanical (packaging) stress and facilitates the use of low-cost packaging technologies. The sensor...journal article 2017

van den Brom, P.I. (author), Meijer, A. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)The difference between actual and calculated energy is called the ‘energy-performance gap’. Possible explanations for this gap are construction mistakes, improper adjusting of equipment, excessive simplification in simulation models and occupant behaviour. Many researchers and governmental institutions think the occupant is the main cause of...journal article 2017
