Máhr, T. (author)In this thesis, the main focus is on the study of a real-world transportation problem with uncertainties, and on the comparison of a centralized and a distributed solution approach in the context of this problem. We formalize the real-world problem, and provide a general framework to extend it with different sources of uncertainty. We apply...doctoral thesis 2011

Sjenitzer, B.L. (author)In this thesis a new method for the analysis of power transients in a nuclear reactor is developed, which is more accurate than the present state-of-the-art methods. Transient analysis is important tool when designing nuclear reactors, since they predict the behaviour of a reactor during changing conditions, such as a control-rod movement,...doctoral thesis 2013

Buzink, S.N. (author)For patients less invasive image-based procedures (IBP) such as laparoscopy have many benefits in comparison to traditional open surgery, such as less pain, faster recovery, and fewer scars. However, to perform IBP effectively, efficiently, and above all safely, the surgical team is highly dependent on technology. The interaction with the...doctoral thesis 2010

Coenen, J.M.G. (author)Engineering-to-Order processes in shipbuilding are characterised by their results: unique ships built on customer specification. A challenge is the control of such processes: the combination of complex technical solutions, a large quantity of specialist engineers of different parties, highly interrelated âconcurrentâ tasks, continuous exchange...doctoral thesis 2008

Shen, S. (author)Networked Virtual Environments (NVEs) are virtual environments where physically distributed, Internet-connected users can interact and socialize with others. The most popular NVEs are online games, which have hundreds of millions of users and a global market of tens of billions Euros per year. Besides entertainments, NVE techniques are used in...doctoral thesis 2015

Jacobs, P.H.M. (author)In this thesis the development of a java-based, simulation environment is presented. The core concepts are to support multiple decision makers in a distributed context with multiple continuous and discrete formalisms. The environment is named DSOL and is published under the open source LGPL licencedoctoral thesis 2005

Ghezzi, L. (author), Balestrero, A. (author)Modeling and Simulation of Low Voltage Arcs is an attempt to improve the physical understanding, mathematical modeling and numerical simulation of the electric arcs that are found during current interruptions in low voltage circuit breakers. An empirical description is gained by refined electrical measures and fiber optics based imaging. Ways to...doctoral thesis 2010

Li, Z. (author)In numerous radar applications, new problems concerning target detection in a clutter environment may occur. These problems cannot be solved using classical methods on the base of our current utilization of the reflection properties of various objects and their environment. Radar features that may assist in solving these problems are sought in...doctoral thesis 2011

Toxopeus, S.L. (author)The present work was initiated in order to improve traditional manoeuvring simulations based on empirical equations to model the forces and moments on the ship. With the evolution of the capability of viscous-flow solvers to predict forces and moments on ships, it was decided to develop a practical method to simulate the manoeuvrability of ships...doctoral thesis 2011
