Shishkov, B.B. (author), Fill, Hans Georg (author), Ivanova, Krassimira (author), van Sinderen, Marten (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)Enabling technologies concerning hardware, networking, and sensing have inspired the development of context-aware IT services. These adapt to the situation of the user, such that service provisioning is specific to his/her corresponding needs. We have seen successful applications of context-aware services in healthcare, well-being, and smart...conference paper 2023

Destyanto, A.R. (author), Huang, Yilin (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)The COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia has led to a significant change in human mobility. It is also considered the most serious threat to the inter-island trade network since the economic crisis in 1998. Leveraging two-year historical port call data (covering 6,000 records in total) of Indonesian domestic cargo vessels from the Automatic...conference paper 2022

Shishkov, B.B. (author), Ivanova, Krassimira (author), Verbraeck, A. (author), van Sinderen, Marten (author)Drones performing an autonomous mission need to adapt to frequent changes in their environment. In other words, they have to be context-aware. Most current context-aware systems are designed to distinguish between situations that have been pre-defined in terms of anticipated situation types and corresponding desired behavior types. This only...conference paper 2022

Freese, M. (author), Tiemersma, S.A. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)As part of a Dutch Science Foundation project called T-TRIPP, the authors developed the serious game Cards for Biosafety. The aim of Cards for Biosafety is to let young biotechnology researchers learn more about biosafety. Analyses of workshops with researchers from the biotechnology domain as well as results of interviews with several biosafety...conference paper 2022

aan het Rot, H.N. (author), Kortmann, Rens (author), Verbraeck, A. (author), de Vries, G. (author), Kooreman, M. (author), de Bruin, B.J.E. (author)Tabletop games that require the aid of a human facilitator are typically designed for a physical environment. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, lockdown measures prevented people from gathering. Therefore, tabletop games were sometimes played and facilitated in a mediated environment using online communication tools instead. But this...conference paper 2022

van Schilt, Isabelle M. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author), Mense, Jelte P. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)COVID-19 related crimes like counterfeit Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) involve complex supply chains with partly unobservable behavior and sparse data, making it challenging to construct a reliable simulation model. Model calibration can help with this, as it is the process of tuning and estimating the model parameters with observed data...conference paper 2022

Shishkov, Boris (author), Branzov, Todor (author), Ivanova, Krassimira (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)Disruptive Events (DE), such as disasters, virus outbreaks, and military conflicts, are often hugely affecting human life, and works featuring resilience against DE are receiving much attention. A key priority in this regard is the effective monitoring of the affected systems' state after a DE has occurred. Earlier work shows relevant strengths...conference paper 2021

(author)Truck platooning is an application of cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) which relies on vehicle-to-vehicle communications facilitated by vehicle ad-hoc networks. Communication uncertainties can affect the performance of a CACC controller. Previous research has not considered the full spectrum of possible car-following scenarios needed...conference paper 2021

Roungas, Bill (author), Meijer, Sebastiaan (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)Game sessions consist of three phases: briefing, gameplay, and debriefing, with the latter being considered the most important feature of games. Nevertheless, given that games are considered by many to be more of an artistic form rather than a scientific artifact, a question that rises is: Can game sessions in general and debriefing in...conference paper 2021

Kuijpers, A.G.J. (author), Lukosch, Heide (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)Adopting innovations is key for organizations to compete in a complex system, such as the transportation system. In a complex system where social (e.g. organizations) and technical (e.g. information systems) interact with each other, collaboration can be challenging. One of the barriers identified that hampers collaboration is trust. To...conference paper 2021

Cho, Yubin (author), Huang, Yilin (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)Dynamic data-driven simulation (DDDS) incorporates real-time measurement data to improve simulation models during model run-time. Data assimilation (DA) methods aim to best approximate model states with imperfect measurements, where particle Filters (PFs) are commonly used with discrete-event simulations. In this paper, we study three critical...conference paper 2020

Shishkov, Boris (author), Hristozov, Stefan (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)We observe a world of increasing anxiety due to natural and man-made disasters, pandemics, andmilitary conflicts. Such disruptive events lead to decreased infrastructure and personnel availability; still, infrastructure and personnel are essential for keeping society running, and for addressing the effects of disruptions. We argue that drone...conference paper 2020

Shishkov, Boris (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)Enterprise Information Systems (EIS) are designed to deal with normal variability in their inputs and data. Empowered by CONTEXT-AWARENESS, some EIS even count on sensors and/or data analytics for capturing changes outside of the system. Nevertheless, context-awareness would often fail when EIS are affected by (large-scale) disruptive events,...conference paper 2020
