Roungas, V. (author), Bekius, F.A. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author), Meijer, S.A. (author)Gaming simulations (games) for policy and decision making have been the neglected “sibling” of educational and training games. The latter have experienced a widespread usage by practitioners and researchers, while the former have had limited, yet slowly increasing, adoption by organisations. As a result, various issues developing and using these...journal article 2020

Kleiman, F. (author), Meijer, S.A. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author)The recent need for social-distancing caused by COVID-19 resulted in working remotely, which can cause loneliness and disconnect from the organization. The pandemic stimulated people to look for novel ways to interact and, at the same time, socialize with each other. The change to home office increased the number of people using digital video...journal article 2020

Lo, J.C. (author), Meijer, S.A. (author)This study takes upon a group cognition perspective and investigates the cognition of railway traffic operations, in particular railway traffic and passenger traffic control. A table-top simulation environment is used to conduct the study, in which its design principles are elaborated upon. Network cognition is operationalized through...journal article 2019

Roungas, V. (author), Bekius, F.A. (author), Meijer, S.A. (author)Background. The abstraction of complex systems, which is required by default when modelling gaming simulations, is a convoluted and time-consuming process. For gaming simulations to be efficient and effective, the problem of the real system they imitate needs to be narrowed down and simplified as much as possible. Additionally, even after...journal article 2019

Roungas, V. (author), Meijer, S.A. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)The complexity of modern systems has made the use of simulations paramount, in order to test different scenarios in an affordable, ethical, and risk-free way. As such, simulations need to be validated, ensuring that the obtained results are meaningful. But validation apart from the computational difficulties, bears several other problems. The...conference paper 2018

Kleiman, F. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), Meijer, S.A. (author)Developing open government by local government is cumbersome. Many local governments have no policies or are struggling to develop policies enabling to create value from open data. Policy-making is challenging due to the wicked nature of many policy problems, unclear objectives, and the involvement of diverse stakeholders. At the same time...conference paper 2018

Roungas, V. (author), de Wijse, Marieke (author), Meijer, S.A. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author)Debriefing is considered, by many scholars, to be a fundamental part of learning through games and simulations. Despite its significance, there is a lack of research in the area of debriefing, which results in unaddressed factors that inhibit debriefing. Research in the field is complicated by many influencing factors varying from context to...conference paper 2018

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

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

van Lankveld, G. (author), Sehic, E. (author), Lo, J.C. (author), Meijer, S.A. (author)Background. The Dutch railway company ProRail is performing large-scale capacity upgrades to their infrastructure network. As part of these upgrades, ProRail uses gaming simulations to help prepare train traffic controllers for new infrastructure situations. Researching the validity of these gaming simulations is essential, since the conclusions...journal article 2016

van den Hoogen, J. (author), Lo, J.C. (author), Meijer, S.A. (author)Background. Debriefing is an intrinsic part of games for learning and proper<br/>debriefing can also be beneficial to research games. However, the literature<br/>on how to debrief research games is sparse and only provides the professional<br/>with an abstract topic guide.<br/>Aim.

Hlotova, Y. (author), Cats, O. (author), Meijer, S.A. (author)Stress is an immense problem in modern society; approximately half of all occupational illnesses are directly or indirectly related to stress. The work of a bus driver is typically associated with high stress levels that negatively influence individual well-being as well as workforce management. The current study examined the impact of newly...journal article 2014

Lo, J.C. (author), Van den Hoogen, J. (author), Meijer, S.A. (author)Debriefing is an overlooked topic in the gaming simulation literature, especially in the context of gaming for applied research and design. Building upon existing frameworks, mostly in the fields of policy and educational games, and linking the design of the debriefing with the intricacies of innovation in complex networked infrastructures, we...conference paper 2014

Mannaerts, A. (author), Van Daalen, C. (author), Van Luipen, J. (author), Meijer, S.A. (author)With a sizeable expected growth of demand for rail transport in the Netherlands in the coming decades, and limited resources for expansion of the rail network, intensified utilization of the infrastructure is to be expected. To adequately manage this growth, appropriate tools for policy analysis are needed. The possibilities and pitfalls of...conference paper 2013

Meijer, S.A. (author), Geelen, D.V. (author), Franken, V. (author), Kersten, W.C. (author), Crul, M.R.M. (author)One of the major challenges for sustainable resource use lies in the renovation of the existing building stock. Less than 1% of the total building stock in North-West Europe is renewed each year, which means that most gain has to be achieved by renovation of the existing building stock in combination with changes in behaviour by residents, the...conference paper 2013

Meijer, S.A. (author), Van Timmeren, A. (author), Crul, M.R.M. (author), Brezet, J.C. (author)Climate change and resource scarcity effects pose challenges by themselves. In the context of the complexity of cities, these challenges become wicked and ill-defined as e.g. socialeconomic issues are added. To face these challenges, a city’s resilience on multiple scales has to enable it to both mitigate the causes and adapt to the...conference paper 2013

Franken, V. (author), Meijer, S.A. (author)In light of the current economic and political climate, the government retreats in many ways, also from the field of heritage protection. Other market parties are expected to step in. This has consequences for the requirements that are set for the overall usability and energy performance and resource use, of heritage buildings. Currently, the...conference paper 2013
