Li, Qiongxiu (author), Gundersen, Jaron Skovsted (author), Lopuhaa-Zwakenberg, Milan (author), Heusdens, R. (author)Privacy-preserving distributed average consensus has received significant attention recently due to its wide applicability. Based on the achieved performances, existing approaches can be broadly classified into perfect accuracy-prioritized approaches such as secure multiparty computation (SMPC), and worst-case privacy-prioritized approaches...journal article 2024

Yue, Dongdong (author), Baldi, S. (author), Cao, Jinde (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)This article describes an extension of the well-known model reference adaptive control (MRAC) approach. The extension relies on explicitly involving the tracking error in the feedback control law: it is shown that including this term along with its appropriate extra adaptive gain allows one to handle possibly unstable reference dynamics....journal article 2024

Jamadar, Zeeshan (author)Anthropogenic climate change has led to irreversible Sea level rise (SLR), underscoring the urgency to implement adaptation measures. With there being a series of challenges to implement SLR adaptation, international standardisation emerges out to be a solution to address these challenges. In this research, an attempt is made to identify SLR...master thesis 2023

Couwenberg, Ruben (author)The Internet of Things (IoT) consists out of billions of devices. This vast size magnifies the security and efficiency challenges the IoT faces. Blockchain (BC) features like decentralisation, immutability and smart contracts can negate these IoT challenges. <br/>In this paper we discuss how BC based solutions can significantly increase the...bachelor thesis 2023

Yue, Dongdong (author), Baldi, S. (author), Cao, Jinde (author)We revisit distributed sampled-data consensus problems from a scalability point of view. Existing solutions in the literature for estimating the maximum sampling interval that preserves stability rely on the Lyapunov functional method. With this method, the overall closed-loop system (i.e. the overall network of agents) is treated as a time...journal article 2023

Sibeijn, M.W. (author), Pequito, S. (author)Proper monitoring of large complex spatially critical infrastructures often requires a sensor network capable of inferring the state of the system. Such networks enable the design of distributed estimators considering only local (partial) measurements, local communication capabilities with nearby sensors, as well as the system model....journal article 2023

(author), Song, Y. (author), Jellema, A.H. (author)BACKGROUND: falls and fall-related injuries are common in older adults, have negative effects on functional independence and quality of life and are associated with increased morbidity, mortality and health related costs. Current guidelines are inconsistent, with no up-to-date, globally applicable ones present. OBJECTIVES: to create a set of...journal article 2022

Liang, F. (author)It is our choices that make us who we are. To lead a better life, we have to make better decisions. Nowadays, decisions are increasingly made in complex contexts, in a host of different application domains. Because of that, we need more reliable decision analysis methodologies to improve our decisions. The ability to deal with multi...doctoral thesis 2021

Kozhaya, David (author), Decouchant, Jérémie (author), Rahli, Vincent (author), Esteves-Verissimo, Paulo (author)The accelerated digitalisation of society along with technological evolution have extended the geographical span of cyber-physical systems. Two main threats have made the reliable and real-time control of these systems challenging: (i) uncertainty in the communication infrastructure induced by scale, and heterogeneity of the environment and...journal article 2021

Li, Qiongxiu (author), Gundersen, Jaron Skovsted (author), Heusdens, R. (author), Christensen, Mads Græsbøll (author)Privacy-preserving distributed processing has recently attracted considerable attention. It aims to design solutions for conducting signal processing tasks over networks in a decentralized fashion without violating privacy. Many existing algorithms can be adopted to solve this problem such as differential privacy, secure multiparty...journal article 2021

Foroughi, M. (author), de Andrade, Bruno (author), Pereira Roders, A. (author)World Heritage cities (WHC), meaning urban areas, often in part, inscribed at the UNESCO World Heritage list are valuable heritages to many local and global communities and, therefore, attract efforts to conserve them. Nonetheless, these cities are increasingly under pressure, by globalization, climate change, and tourism. An integral approach,...conference paper 2021

(author)BACKGROUND: falls and fall-related injuries are common in older adults, have negative effects both on quality of life and functional independence and are associated with increased morbidity, mortality and health care costs. Current clinical approaches and advice from falls guidelines vary substantially between countries and settings,...review 2021

Liang, F. (author), Verhoeven, Kyle (author), Brunelli, Matteo (author), Rezaei, J. (author)The aim of this study is to develop an inland terminal location selection methodology. This methodology is viewed from the perspective of the shipping line designing the inland transport chain while also taking the objectives of multiple other stakeholders into account. To that end, we develop a consensus model for a group Best-Worst Method ...journal article 2021

Postma, Jeroen (author)Recent studies in game-theory provided ways to steer multi-agent games to their Nash equilibrium by means of a decentralized approach. However, these approaches have not considered the internal dynamics of the individual agents. This thesis work provides decentralized control methods to account for these internal dynamics whilst ensuring that...master thesis 2020

Vodă, Mircea (author)The continuous shift of various industries towards internet-based services have caused an exponential growth in the amount of data produced over the past few years. On top of this, the increasing need for real-time analytics and the increase in data velocity have made asynchronous, event-driven applications the norm. In this context, the...master thesis 2018

Valk, Laurens (author), Keviczky, T. (author)We show how passivity-based control by interconnection and damping assignment (IDA-PBC) can be used as a design procedure to derive distributed control laws for undirected connected networks of underactuated and fully-actuated heterogeneous mechanical systems. With or without leaders, agents are able to reach a stationary formation in the...journal article 2018

Cong, Kelong (author)Blockchain systems have the potential to decentralise many traditionally centralised systems. However, scalability remains a key challenge. Without a horizontally scalable solution, where performance increases by adding more nodes to the system, blockchain systems remain unsuitable for ubiquitous use. We design a novel blockchain system called...master thesis 2017

Özdemir, E. (author), Tasan-Kok, M.T. (author)Citizen disagreement on urban policies and planning decisions is both ubiquitous and fundamental to democracy. Post-political debates debunk the ‘consensus approach’, which is grounded in Habermasian communication theory, for circumventing disagreement. This article presents a counter argument. Our analysis of the highly institutionalised and...journal article 2017

Kodde, A.C. (author)For many processes it is required to have a reliable view of an environment of interest. One way to achieve this is by performing a distributed Kalman filter. In this thesis, three distribution methods from different research backgrounds are implemented and evaluated using multiple metrics for use in a Gossip based wireless sensor network:...master thesis 2012
