Extreme value analyses (EVA) are often used to determine the frequency of extreme events. The length of the available observations is an important aspect when performing EVA. It is generally known that more available data results in better estimates with less uncertainties. The main objective of this research report was to assess what the...

Standards competition is a complicated process influenced by a large number of factors and mechanisms. This article develops a simulation model that draws on current theory of standards competition dynamics and represents the interplay of strategic factors that firms can use to gain a competitive advantage. The model is used to reproduce four...

Climate change is and will continue altering the world's coasts, which are the most densely populated and economically active areas on earth and home for highly valuable ecosystems. While there is considerable relevant research, in the authors' experience this problem remains challenging for coastal engineering. This paper reviews important...

Epidemiologic cohort studies have consistently demonstrated that long-term exposure to ambient fine particles (PM<sub>2.5</sub>) is associated with mortality. Nevertheless, extrapolating results to understudied locations may involve considerable uncertainty. To explore this issue, this review discusses the evidence for (i) the associated risk...

This paper aims to stimulate discussion based on the experiences derived from the QUICS project (Quantifying Uncertainty in Integrated Catchment Studies). First it briefly discusses the current state of knowledge on uncertainties in sub-models of integrated catchment models and the existing frameworks for analysing uncertainty. Furthermore, it...

Groothuizen, R.J.P. (author)
In this report several methods for modeling uncertainty in expert systems are discussed. An overview is given of methods used in various existing expert systems and an attempt is made to put these methods into their proper perspective.

Kanning, W. (author)
Uncertainties are introduced in probabilistic risk analysis when we deal with parameters that are not deterministic (exactly known) but that are unknown instead, hence uncertain. This report describes how uncertainties influence the reliability of flood defence systems. The purpose of the study is to identify all uncertainties that influence the...

Task 20 has contributed to the methods and application of uncertainty analysis by targeting novel areas of uncertainty analysis and decision support. The research fell into four sub-tasks: 1) Development of an overall framework for uncertainty analysis in flood risk management decisions. 2) Development of new methods to deal with the uncertainty...

The MRO market currently spans around 9.5% of the total operating cost of an airline. Of this, 70% is covered by heavy-maintenance. Reduction of these costs and improving efficiency could, therefore, be significant for an airline. A possible solution is the optimization of the long-term schedule of heavy-maintenance checks. Current approaches...

To cut down immense greenhouse gases emission and energy consumption in the rapidly urbanizing world, a holistic understanding and rethinking of our dynamic urban energy system are inevitable. Performing bottom-up building energy modelings at urban scale based on Geographic Information System (GIS) and semantic 3D city models could be a...

The Netherlands has a strong tradition of blueprint planning in spatial design. Since the financial crisis of 2008, a shift has been made to more organic approaches to development. Currently, a paradigm is evolving which is able to deal with complex challenges that the built environment faces today: a shortage of housing and a transition to...

There is a never-ending quest to search for better ways of planning and controlling projects. Currently the majority of all projects are planned with the critical path method and controlled using earned value management. This way of planning and controlling projects has been used for decades now and can be seen as traditional project management ...

Crisis situations require critical decision making under high uncertainty and time pressure. These decisions can impact an organization internally and externally when remained unhandled. However, due to the rarity of crisis events, there is a lack of training on the job. A designed simulation game should offer a training methodology which takes...

From 2018 to 2020, the city of Breda (NL) faced drought, with significant economic losses and water scarcity problems. The water board within which the city is located began to consider new possible water management practices, due to the unsustainability of the current ones. This study aims to investigate how a change of the current paradigm can...

In the military field, detailed simulation models are often used to get insight in the consequences of choices regarding the composition of a force and the extent to which it can be kept deployable. With detailed models, the main idea is to capture all real-world complexity relevant for decision-making processes. However, detailed models tend to...

With the population growing and countries becoming more affluent, diets shift. These global dietary shifts contribute greatly to increasing greenhouse gas emissions because of their higher carbon and water intensities. This development is problematic considering both the growth in our global economy as well as our population. It is therefore...

Climate change is increasingly becoming more impactful on our society. Recent events such as the extreme rainfall in the summer of 2021 in Germany, Belgium and The Netherlands and hurricane Ida in Mississippi (USA), caused severe floodings and damages in these areas. Climate change, in turn, leads to an increase in sea level rise, making flood...
