Jalilzadeh, B. (author)A fundamental problem in online mechanism design is how to deal with agents that arrive and depart over time. Possible approaches that deal with this problem can roughly be split up into two parts: online mechanism design with and without monetary payments. By far, most research until now has focussed on the former of the two. Our main...master thesis 2009

Grootenboers, F. (author)Door-to-door transportation for elderly and disabled people is for many governments an important instrument to increase the mobility of this group of people. Many issues arise in the implementation of such a system, which is often modeled as the Dynamic Dial-a-Ride System with Time Windows (DDARPTW). One of those issues is that taxi companies...master thesis 2010

Ganga, A.K.R. (author)A well-known problem in peer-to-peer networks is free-riding, where users do not share resources in return for what they consume. Free-riders can be distinguished in two categories: diehard free-riders that are willing to subvert the network’s protocol in order to free-ride, and lazy free-riders that are reluctant to share but do follow the...master thesis 2010

Noroozian, A. (author)BitTorrent has turned into the most popular P2P file sharing protocol and is used for various purposes such as Video on demand and Media Streaming. The fundamental problem with P2P networks in general is that quality of service highly depends on altruistic resource sharing by participating peers. Many peers freeride on the good intentions of...master thesis 2010

Van Heugten, T.B. (author)Currently, the electricity market is shifting from fossil fuels to renewable resources. The lack of controllability of the output of solar cells and wind turbines conflicts with the requirement that suppliers match their production with the demand at all times. Our solution is to drop this requirement and instead use flexibility on side of the...master thesis 2011

Ten Thije, J.O.A. (author)Efficient management and propagation of temporal constraints is important for temporal planning as well as for scheduling. During plan development, many solvers employ a heuristic-driven backtracking approach, over the course of which they maintain a so-called Simple Temporal Network (STN) of events and constraints. Recent research has shown...master thesis 2011

Van Putten, J. (author)In this thesis, we looked at strategies for the trading agents in wholesale market for energy. The main focus was on strategies for the Periodic Double Auction, but we also looked at the Continous Double Auction. We adapted several existing strategies and added a few new ones. We performed several experiments with purpose of finding out the...master thesis 2011

Vuong, J.M. (author)Door-to-door transportation services are very important for disabled or elderly people, as they have difficulties using regular public transport services. These services work on a on-demand basis and use taxi vehicles that can service multiple jobs at the same time to reduce the operational costs. The problem however is that deciding how to...master thesis 2011

Abcouwer, F.C.A. (author), Janssen, M. (author), Savenberg, X. (author), Verboon, R.S. (author)Technical analysis is widely used among traders, financial professionals and financial institution as a tool to identify trading opportunities. However, the academic world does not share this point of view, since they claim the evidence to promote the usability of technical analysis is sparse and inconsistent. Noticing this impasse we decided...bachelor thesis 2013

Egberts, N.G. (author)This thesis considers the problem of designing a mechanism that efficiently regulates imbalances on the energy grid. Brokers aggregate supply and demand on the energy market by buying and selling power ahead of time. Mispredictions create discrepancies between supply and demand and need to be resolved. With the increasing usage of sustainable...master thesis 2014

Ipema, C.W. (author)This thesis studies parameters that are assumed to in?uence the outcomes of tender procedures. These parameters are learning, transaction costs, repetition, complex bids, uncertainty, continued work and irrationality. Government agencies have some degree of freedom when they use tender procedures. They can use this freedom to design the perfect...master thesis 2014

Elffers, J.A. (author)We study the single machine version of the task scheduling problem with release times and deadlines. This problem is too simple to be of practical importance in itself, but it is also used as a relaxation in algorithms for the Job Shop scheduling problem, which is a more practical task scheduling problem. We study exact algorithms for solving...master thesis 2014

Van Altenborg, C.A. (author), Zandstra, J.J.E. (author)In order to cope with various supply sources and loads in an autonomous micro-grid, a system of sensors and control units was developed. The goals were to cope efficiently in the event of an energy supply shortage, and to prevent such events as much as possible. To achieve these goals the aim was to manage energy in the system as efficiently as...bachelor thesis 2015

Oostenbrink, J. (author)PageRank, a method to rank web pages objectively and mechanically, models a random web surfer. The PageRank problem is most easily solved iteratively, using the power method. In this paper the reordered PageRank algorithms are discussed. These algorithms (proposed by A. N. Langville and C. D. Meyer in "A reordering for the PageRank problem") see...bachelor thesis 2015

Brouns, M. (author)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...master thesis 2015
