Hoogslag, J.F. (author)Negotiations are an everyday phenomena, and yet the process is so complex, ill-structured and even chaotic that analysis becomes challenging. Consequently, we currently lack systematic understanding of the dynamics that govern negotiations concerning multiple issues with multiple participants who behave strategically. The objective of this...master thesis 2014

De Vries, N.A. (author)Around the railway station of Schiphol, railway traffic is controlled by an automated dynamic traffic management system (DVM). This system is not optimal for the future service pattern of NS and NS Hispeed. My research explores the possibilities of a new DVM by analysing different rescheduling elements by means of microsimulations in OpenTrack.master thesis 2014

Bos, J. (author)The Reinier de Graaf Hospital in Delft has concluded that care for frail elderly with impaired mobility is not always optimal. Due to multimorbidity, traditional monodisciplinary care is not the best possible care. The Reinier de Graaf Hospital set out to improve their care process to serve the frail elderly best. It was found that the target...master thesis 2014

Bholanath, R. (author), Van der Hoeven, E. (author), De Quillettes, K. (author)A touch table is a perfect way of collaborating within a group. It allows multiple group members to interact with an application at the same time. This in turn allows every member of the group to directly participate in the team process rather than having to send their ideas up the chain of command. An area where such an application might come...bachelor thesis 2013

Turi, D. (author)In recent years the study of complex systems gained prominence. Since it is usually difficult to use classical mathematic models to understand these systems, scientists and engineers have to resort to simulations. Currently programming languages like CUDA C and OpenCL are available to run large scale simulations on a GPU architecture....master thesis 2013

Rose, C.D. (author)IHC Metalix, a producer of machined steel kits for the shipbuilding industry, is currently in the process of improving production efficiency by modifying an existing crane as well as by installing two additional cranes, a pallet conveyor, and a pallet storage rack. The exact effects of these improvements on the production process have not been...master thesis 2013

De Jong, L.E. (author)The objective of this thesis project is to analyze the traffic behaviour that the Shared Space approach assumes to enforce in a traffic space designed according to its principles, and to determine the impact of this behaviour on traffic performance and safety, isolated from location-specific elements. This is done by means of a new conceptual...master thesis 2013

Bakolas, B.V.E. (author)Electric vehicles only become useful in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, if the electricity used to charge their batteries comes from renewable energy sources. This thesis was conducted within the electric mobility framework of the Green Village, the project put forward to test the Green Campus Concept. The objective was to design a Station...master thesis 2012

Rodriguez Rodriguez de Guzman, J. (author)Accurate timing analysis of digital integrated circuits is becoming harder to achieve with current and future CMOS technologies. The shrinking feature sizes lead to increasingly important local process variations (PV), making existing methods like corner-based static timing analysis (STA) yield overly pessimistic results. While industry faces...master thesis 2012

De Bruin, W.J. (author)Simulations carried out for low salinity water flooding often do not include geochemical processes. Salt concentration, and thus the salinity, is modelled as a water tracer that does not react with the reservoir formation. The goal of this MSc thesis is to improve the understanding of the influence of geochemical processes on the mixing of...master thesis 2012

Weijers, R.E.R.M. (author)Discrete Event Simulation (DES) is widely used in analyzing and improving business processes. Business process maturity models (BPMM) are used to define maturity levels of business processes and give recommendations how maturity levels can be increased. While each has proven their efficiency in their own way, very little attention is paid to the...master thesis 2012

Mutapcic, O. (author)Introduction of a new product in the market brings new opportunities to a company but also involves many risks. Many companies cease to exist in this turbulent period, even before the technology reaches mass-diffusion. In this study we look at the processes in the period of pre-diffusion and in particular in the market adaptation phase. With...master thesis 2012

Tiemensma, S.L. (author)The tourism sector of Norway is one of the sectors that aim for sustainability and is the subject of an ambitious project. With an estimated 5% of the total global CO2 emissions coming from tourism, this is a good sector to examine for improvements in sustainability. The tourism sector in combination with the government started the project...master thesis 2011

Hussain, A.A.A. (author)In-situ combustion (ISC) is an enhanced oil recovery process during which air or oxygen-enriched air is injected into a reservoir. The oil in the reservoir reacts with the oxygen and the so-called combustion front is formed and propagates through the reservoir, generating heat and flue gases. During the process, numerous chemical reactions take...bachelor thesis 2011

Miete, O.M. (author)In hydraulic engineering it is known that for the evaluation of the performance of a system, a probabilistic approach is preferable to a deterministic one. The essence of such a probabilistic approach is that random variability/uncertainty is explicitly taken into account. In this graduation project, this probabilistic way of looking at a system...master thesis 2011
