Heads in the Clouds? Measuring Universities' Migration to Public Clouds: Implications for Privacy & Academic Freedom

With the emergence of remote education and work in universi- ties due to COVID-19, the ‘zoomification’ of higher education, i.e., the migration of universities to the clouds, reached the public dis- course. Ongoing discussions reason about how this shift will take control over students’ data away from universities, and may ulti- mately harm the...

How to Model and Enumerate Geographically Correlated Failure Events in Communication Networks

Several works shed light on the vulnerability of networks against regional failures, which are failures of multiple pieces of equipment in a geographical region as a result of a natural or human-made disaster. This chapter overviews how this in- formation can be added to existing network protocols through defining Shared Risk Link Groups (SRLGs)...

Topology-Driven Performance Analysis of Power Grids

Direct connections between nodes usually result in efficient transmission in networks. Such electric power transmission is governed by physical laws, and an assessment purely based on direct connections between nodes and shortest paths may not capture the operation of power grids. Motivated by these facts, in this chapter, we investigate the...

The Power of Social Features in Online Gaming

Within the vast and rich field of online gaming, a new generation of Online Social Games (OSGs) is emerging that have in common a core of social interaction, sometimes explicit, other times implicit. This common core of social experience promises to become at least as important as the experience derived from the game-­‐world itself. In this...

De wisselende waardering van Dudoks erfgoed

Het uitgevoerde werk van W.M. Dudok (1 884-1974) is door de tijd heen wisselend gewaardeerd. Aanvankelijk oogstte de plastische esthetiek van verspringende bakstenen volumes veel lof. Tijdens het interbellum werd deze 'Dudokiaanse' architectuur volop nagevolgd, o.a. in Engeland, België en Zuid-Afrika. Daarna werd Dudoks nagestreefde synthese van...

Authenticiteit versus attrappenkult?

Al in de begintijd van DOCOMOMO speelde de vraag naar de rol van materiële authenticiteit en de plaats van het architectonische idee in de waardestelling en de omgang met ‘moderne monumenten’ als sanatorium Zonnestraal. Architecten blijken deze problematiek heel anders te benaderen dan monumentenzorgers, omdat de laatsten in principe uitgaan van...
