(author), Rieffe, Carolien (author)School-based interventions for socially including autistic pupils in mainstream schools were systematically reviewed. Included interventions targeted at least one level of the school environment: the autistic children, the peers, the staff, and/or the physical environment, and assessed autistic pupils’ quantity and/or quality of social...review 2024

Koutamanis, A. (author)Building information modelling (BIM) has ushered in the era of symbolic building representation: building elements and spaces are described not by graphical elements but by discrete symbols, each with properties and relations that explicitly integrate all information. Digital twinning promises even more: a digital replica in complete sync with...book chapter 2024

Koutamanis, A. (author)Planning regulations determine a substantial part of buildings, but their constraints are usually not included in the setup of a BIM model or used explicitly for design guidance, but only tested in compliance checks once a model has been made. This is symptomatic of wider tendencies and ingrained biases that emphasize tacit knowledge and assume...journal article 2024

(author), Baratchi, Mitra (author), Blijd-Hoogewys, Els (author), Kok, Joost (author), Rieffe, Carolien (author)Social connectedness at school is crucial to children's development, yet very little is known about the way it has been affected by school closures during COVID-19 pandemic. We compared pre-post lockdown levels of social connectedness at a school playground in forty-three primary school-aged children, using wearable sensors, observations,...journal article 2023

(author), Baratchi, Mitra (author), Rieffe, Carolien (author)Background: Outdoor social participation in the school playground is crucial for children's socio-emotional and cognitive development. Yet, many children with disabilities in mainstream educational settings are not socially included within their peer group. We examined whether loose-parts-play (LPP), a common and cost-effective intervention...journal article 2023

Nasri, M. (author), Baratchi, Mitra (author), Tsou, Yung Ting (author), Giest, Sarah (author), Koutamanis, A. (author), Rieffe, Carolien (author)The present study aims to infer individuals’ social networks from their spatio-temporal behavior acquired via wearable sensors. Previously proposed static network metrics (e.g., centrality measures) cannot capture the complex temporal patterns in dynamic settings (e.g., children’s play in a schoolyard). Moreover, existing temporal metrics...journal article 2023

Koutamanis, A. (author)Categorization of technologies by the order of their inbetweenness is a useful device for parsing complex structures info fundamental parts and understanding the application of a technology. This promises a coherent foundation for explaining how we deploy technologies in design, in particular with respect to the affordances they create. By...journal article 2023

(author), Rieffe, Carolien (author)Detecting and analyzing group behavior from spatio-temporal trajectories is an interesting topic in various domains, such as autonomous driving, urban computing, and social sciences. This paper revisits the group detection problem from spatio-temporal trajectories and proposes “WavenetNRI”, a graph neural network (GNN) based method. The...conference paper 2023

(author), Baratchi, Mitra (author), Giest, Sarah (author), Reidsma, Dennis (author), Rieffe, Carolien (author)Social participation at schoolyards is crucial for children’s development. Yet, schoolyard environments contain features that can hinder children’s social participation. In this paper, we empirically examine schoolyards to identify existing obstacles. Traditionally, this type of study requires huge amounts of detailed information about...journal article 2022

Building Information - Representation and Management: Principles and Foundations for the Digital EraKoutamanis, A. (author)The book presents a coherent theory of building information, focusing on its representation and management in the digital era. It addresses issues such as the information explosion and the structure of analogue building representations to propose a parsimonious approach to the deployment and utilization of symbolic digital technologies like BIM....book 2022

(author), den Heijer, A.C. (author)Purpose: Across the world, many universities are dealing with a pressure on resources, caused by both organisational developments and ageing campuses. Space utilization studies have a strategic role, providing information on how space is being used, thereby informing decisions about the type and scale of facilities that are needed.

Valks, B. (author), Arkesteijn, M.H. (author), Koutamanis, A. (author), den Heijer, A.C. (author)At universities worldwide, the notion of a ‘smart campus’ is becoming increasingly appealing as a response to the multitude of challenges that impact campus development and operation. Smart campus tools are widely used to support students and employees, optimise space use and save energy. Although smart campus tools are supposed to support...journal article 2021

Koutamanis, A. (author)The paper examines proposals for nD BIM with respect to what may be considered a dimension and how dimensions relate to information in a symbolic representation. It establishes that ‘dimension’ is often used metaphorically to indicate information-processing capacities – an unfortunate usage in an area where the term is used literally. The...review 2020

Valks, B. (author), Arkesteijn, M.H. (author), Koutamanis, A. (author), den Heijer, A.C. (author)At universities worldwide, creating a ‘smart campus’ is gaining significance. This is a response to the increasingly dynamic use of the campus and the pressure on resources: energy, financial and human resources. The university community has become more mobile, student numbers more unpredictable and funding more uncertain. Consequently, campus...journal article 2020
