Roungas, V. (author), Meijer, S.A. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)Thirty years of research on validation and verification (V\&V) has returned a plethora of methods, statistical techniques, and reported case studies. It is that abundance of methods that poses a major challenge. Because of overlap between methods and time and budget constraints, it is impossible to apply all the available methods in a single...conference paper 2017

Meijer, F.M. (author)Requirements on the sustainable quality (e.g. energy performance) of new and existing buildings are one of the pillars building regulatory systems of European countries are founded on. The influence of EU policy goals and contents of EU Directives in the energy regulations of the Member States is clearly noticeable. The European Union has set...conference paper 2017

Alsema, Erik (author), Anink, David (author), Meijer, A. (author), Straub, A. (author), Donze, Geurt (author), van Hulten, Saskia (author)Sustainable development has been the focus of all major industries in the world, especially in the construction industry. As one of the sustainable construction modes, housing industrialization (HI) is now absorbing a growing number of attentions that lead the industry to go green. However, the implementation of HI in China is far from...conference paper 2017

Meijer, Jonathan (author), Lei, Q. (author), Wisse, M. (author)This paper identifies high performing motion planners among three manipulators when carrying out grasp executions. Simultaneously, this paper presents useful benchmarking data. Sampling-based motion planners of OMPL available for use in MoveIt! are compared by performing several grasping-related motion planning problems. The performance of the...conference paper 2017

Roungas, V. (author), Meijer, S.A. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)Games for decision making have developed into a powerful tool for corporations. Irrespective of their size, corporations have been increasingly using these games in order to evaluate and ascertain impact-ful business decisions and strategies. Despite their proven added value to the decision making process, there is still lack of research on...conference paper 2017

Meijer, Jonathan (author), Lei, Q. (author), Wisse, M. (author)This paper identifies high-performing Open Motion Planning Library (OMPL) planners for grasp execution and simultaneously presents useful benchmark data. Four grasp executions were defined using a UR5 manipulator. The performance was measured by means of solved runs, computing time and path length. Based on the results, planners are...conference paper 2017

Visscher, H.J. (author), Meijer, F.M. (author)The goals of energy saving and CO2 reductions to create an energy neutral building stock seem only to be reached by strict and supportive governmental policies. In Europe the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and the Energy Efficiency Directive are driving forces for Member States to develop and strengthen energy performance regulations...conference paper 2016

Meijer, F.M. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)Demands on the energy performance of new and existing buildings hold a prominent place in the regulations of all European countries. The influence of EU policy goals and contents of EU Directives reverberate strongly in the energy regulations. Goals set by the European Union are that all newly built constructions must have a zero energy level by...conference paper 2016

Meijer, F.M. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)Traditionally quality control of construction work in Europe was a governmental responsibility. In most European countries local authority building control were responsible for the issuing of planning or building permits and carried out plan approval, site-inspections and checks on completion of constructions. During the last decades however...conference paper 2016

Meijer, F.M. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)Owners are responsible to maintain their own dwellings in an adequate manner. In practice however all kinds of constraints occur. Lack of financial means and insufficient (technical or practical) knowledge are the most important barriers. Because the quality of owner-occupied housing exceeds the individual interest; there are also general...conference paper 2015
