Long Term Process-Based Morphological Modelling of Pocket Beaches

The applicability of the open source model XBeach was tested for pocket beaches in this paper. First, schematized model setups have been used to assess the performance of XBeach qualitatively. It was found that adjustments of the initial bed were required to obtain the expected hydrodynamic conditions. The default sediment advection calibration...

Operational Scheduling in a Multi-Actor Environment using Multiagent Systems

Liquid bulk is one of the largest industries of the modern world, and efficient scheduling is needed for liquid bulk terminals to remain competitive. A common solution for the planning efficiency problem is to apply planning algorithms, rather than human planners for creating schedules. However, replacing human planners by algorithms is often a...
