Mhamdi, L. (author)High performance routers are the basic building blocks of the Internet. Most high performance routers built today use crossbars and a centralized scheduler. Due to their high scheduling complexity, crossbar-based routers are not scalable and cannot keep pace with the explosive growth of the Internet. This dissertation studies a slight variation...doctoral thesis 2007

Carbon, C.C. (author), Michael, L. (author), Leder, H. (author)Consumer product design needs design evaluation for obtaining information about consumers’ preferences and liking to optimize market success. Such evaluations are usually conducted in simple single-shot studies where consumers only once have to evaluate, for instance, the attractiveness of a design. However, innovative designs often break common...journal article 2008

Steen, M.G.D. (author)In human-centred design (HCD), researchers and designers develop products in cooperation with the potential users of these products. They attempt to give users a voice or a role in their projects, with the intention of developing products that match users' needs and preferences. This approach is especially interesting in the information and...doctoral thesis 2008

Aas, C.L.O. (author), Zandbergen, B.T.C. (author), Hamann, R.J. (author), Gill, E.K.A. (author)The process of developing a tool aiming for conceptual design of nano- and microsatellites is described. The various challenges and derived solutions are discussed. The final product offers systems engineers a fast way to analyze the feasibility of a particular design concept. The tool differs from existing tools in that it is specifically...conference paper 2009

Bakker, K.J. (author), Blom, C.B.M. (author)According to modern design codes, such as the Eurocode 7, also Soil Retaining structures should be designed according to Ultimate Limit State analysis, see [1]. From an economic point of view, the design of the lining, i.e. the thickness and reinforcement of it, would be optimal if the loading during construction is less critical than the...journal article 2009

De Bruijn, J.A. (author), Herder, P.M. (author)This paper addresses the complexity of analyzing and designing sociotechnical systems: systems that involve both complex physical-technical systems and networks of interdependent actors. It is shown that, although a hard system perspective and an actor perspective differ greatly in terms of terminology, methods, and applicability, they also show...journal article 2009

Oosterlaken, I. (author)In this article I suggest a ‘capability approach’ towards designing for society, and particularly, the world’s poor. I will explain that this approach assigns a central place to human capabilities in our discussions of justice and development and criticizes a focus on utility or preference satisfaction. In the literature on the capability...journal article 2009

Stappers, P.J. (author), Hoffman, R.R. (author)In one of the earlier essays in this department, we discussed a number of acronyms all having to do with system design, and all having the form "x-centered design." The purpose of that essay was to demonstrate a broad framework within which to understand human-centered computing (HCC), and also to show the various convergences and divergences of...journal article 2009

Manders-Huits, N.L.J.L. (author)Recently, there is increased attention to the integration of moral values into the conception, design, and development of emerging IT. The most reviewed approach for this purpose in ethics and technology so far is Value-Sensitive Design (VSD). This article considers VSD as the prime candidate for implementing normative considerations into design...journal article 2010

Roeser, S. (author)Engineers are normally seen as the archetype of people who make decisions in a rational and quantitative way. However, technological design is not value neutral. The way a technology is designed determines its possibilities, which can, for better or for worse, have consequences for human wellbeing. This leads various scholars to the claim that...journal article 2010

The strategies are meant to stimulate desired behavioural patterns or to avoid undesired ones. Although this provides understanding of how behaviour may be changed, there has been...conference paper 2010
