Oiknine, julien (author)As Knowledge Based Engineering (KBE) is gaining in popularity in the industry, the models developed with the technology grow in complexity. The larger KBE models suffer from long (re)generation times and outgrow the memory resources of standard desktop computer. In the meantime, the number of cores present in computer’s processors is steadily...master thesis 2022

Buskes, Viktor (author)Vibrations and disturbances are becoming more of a concern as lightweight, flexible structures in high-tech systems are pushed towards faster speeds and higher precision. Active Vibration Control (AVC) methods have been effectively used to attenuate vibrations and increase the bandwidth of these systems. With the miniaturisation of electronics,...master thesis 2022

Tsolakis, Anastasios (author)Nonholonomic mechanical systems encompass a large class of practically interesting robotic structures, such as wheeled mobile robots, space manipulators, and multi-fingered robot hands. However, few results exist on the cooperative control of such systems in a generic, distributed approach. In this work we extend a recently developed distributed...master thesis 2021

Voorhout, Damian (author)Using some sort of adaptive traffic light control system is becoming standard policy among metropolitan areas. However, controlling traffic lights efficiently on a city-wide scale is computationally intensive and theoretically complex. This paper aims to show a proof of concept of an efficient and modular traffic. light controller with...bachelor thesis 2019

van Ramshorst, Justus (author)Near-surface wind speed is typically only measured by point observations. The so-called Actively Heated Fiber-Optic (AHFO) technique, however, has the potential to provide high-resolution distributed observations, allowing for better understanding of different processes. However, before it can be widely used, its performance needs to be tested...master thesis 2018

Cilissen, M.H.J. (author), Van Elsas, M. (author)Nerdalize B.V. is an infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud provider aiming to offer substantially lower prices than its competitors. In order to visualize its cost savings to customers and measure its own systems against competitors in a cloud market reigned by opaque pricing models, it would like to utilize an application benchmarker to give...bachelor thesis 2015

Pietaloka, D. (author)The purpose of this research is mainly to develop a distributed dynamic state estimation with PMU and SCADA as a response of the challenges in state estimation problems (accuracy, computational time, the use of new technology along with the ability to keep the existing traditional measurement). With the implementation of statistical signal...master thesis 2015

Nijveldt, T. (author)In the high-tech industry the call for higher precision and higher accuracy will never vanish. One of the aspects that influences precision and accuracy is transportation. To transport an object contact is needed. Stigmatically thinking, contact means having a mechanical connection between the transporter and the object to transport. However, if...master thesis 2015

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

Verheij, X.R. (author)The combination between agile software engineering and distributed engineering is gaining a growing interest. Combining these however creates an interesting paradox. Where agile clearly states that documentation is not the most important thing, from the field of globally distributed engineering a higher focus on documentation is observed. In...master thesis 2012

Hovens, M.G.P. (author), Prevoo, Y.K.L.M. (author)The Nuna 6 is a solar racing vehicle that solely relies on solar energy from the sun. Every year, the team seeks ways to improve the performance of their car. One way to improve the performance is to maximize the power output of the solar panels on top of the car. Maximizing the power output can be done with a 'Maximum Power Point Tracker'. The...bachelor thesis 2012

Van den Berg, J.J.J. (author)This document describes the research performed on fault isolation in dynamic distributed systems at runtime. An existing Spectrum-based Multiple Fault Localization approach is used as the basis for fault isolation, but is adapted and optimized so it can be used for online diagnosis. The result is an algorithm, coined AIMBACH, which finds the...master thesis 2012

Van den Berg, R.S. (author)A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of multiple small and simple computers (nodes), whose performance is tightly linked to its unpredictable deployment environment. It is nearly impossible to design a WSN that performs well in every scenario; instead they are developed for a specific context, with performance rapidly decreasing when...master thesis 2011

Chakar, T.M. (author)The planning and scheduling process of large homecare organizations (LHO) must be responsive as LHO cannot afford postponement and cancellation of services. However, achieving such responsiveness (respond to schedule change requests without violating timing constraints) is a very complex task for such large organizations, due to their extensive...master thesis 2011

Vliegendhart, R. (author)Peer-to-peer (P2P) technology allows us to create self-organising and scalable systems. The distributed nature of these systems requires a solution for finding interesting peers. In the context of P2P file sharing, finding peers who are downloading the same file is referred to as the swarm discovery problem. In BitTorrent, this problem is solved...master thesis 2010

Waasdorp, P.A.C. (author)Assume that two sub-graphs of a graph are available and that the graph represents the corridors in a building. Without using any previous knowledge on the entire graph, can these two sub-graphs be used to construct an extended view on the entire graph. To test this assumption a collection of algorithms will be designed and implemented which can...master thesis 2010

Van Buul, P. (author)SAFe is a framework that applies both agile and lean practices for developing software. The current trend is that increasingly more organizations develop their software in a globally distributed setting. Although SAFe is being deployed in such a setting, SAFe was not originally developed for such a setting but for a co-located setting. Therefore...master thesis
