Mostafavi, S. (author), Yu, S. (author), Biloria, N.M. (author)This paper illustrates the application of different types of complex systems for digital form finding and design decision making with underlying methodological and pedagogical aims to emphasize performance-driven design solutions via combining generative methods of complex systems with simulation techniques. The design research examples...conference paper 2014

Brosens, P. (author), Bedir, M. (author)The modernity concept originated in western theoretical/philosophical thought. Characterised by secular, scientific, social and economic developments, it significantly affected arts and architecture. Modernism, its 20th century cultural outcome, was heterogeneous in nature and commonly related to local progress and technique. The Modern Project...conference paper 2014

Doerr, C. (author), Hernandez, J.M. (author)As communication and network technology has advanced into all areas of human life, large-scale failures of such infrastructures can have a drastic impact on its users, the economy and society in general. Significant attention has been paid to study and improve the dependability of such systems, intending to augment their resilience against...conference paper 2010

Beshir, A. (author), Yannuzzi, M. (author), Kuipers, F. (author)With the increasing deployment of wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks, the need for advanced lightpath provisioning algorithms and protocols in a multi-domain setting is becoming evident. In order to increase efficiency by relaxing the wavelength continuity constraint in WDM optical networks, wavelength converters are often...conference paper 2010

Mota, N.J.A. (author)Designing Self-help sounds like a contradiction in terms. Indeed, a great deal of the scholarly accounts on self-help housing excludes the agency of the designer, stressing instead the roles of the policy maker and the owner-builder. In the architecture discipline, from the late 1950s through the 1980s the notions of open form, group form and...conference paper 2015

Fu, B. (author), Uhlig, S.P.W.G. (author)The evaluation of dynamic Traffic Engineering (TE) algorithms is usually carried out using some specific network(s), traffic pattern(s) and traffic engineering objective(s). As the behavior of a TE algorithm is a consequence of the interactions between the network, the traffic demand and the algorithm itself, the relevance of TE may depend on...conference paper

Kuipers, F.A. (author), Beshir, A.A. (author), Orda, A. (author), Van Mieghem, P. (author)Physical impairments, such as noise and signal distortions, negatively affect the quality of information transfer in optical networks. The effect of physical impairments predominantly augments with distance and bit rate of the signal to the point that it becomes detrimental to the information transfer. To reverse the effect of physical...conference paper 2010

Mostafavi, S. (author), Bier, H. (author), Bodea, S. (author), Anton, A.M. (author)This paper discusses the development of an informed Design-to-Robotic-Production (D2RP) system for additive manufacturing to achieve performative porosity in architecture at various scales. An extended series of experiments on materiality, fabrication and robotics were designed and carried out resulting in the production of a one-to-one scale...conference paper 2015

Kamerling, M.W. (author)The paper presents the structural design of a thin barrel vault constructed with Fusée Ceramique infill elements. The load transfer is analyzed and validated. For the structure composed of Fusée Ceramique elements, steel and concrete the stresses are calculated and compared to the stresses given in the codes used from 1950 to the present. The...conference paper 2013

Konstantinou, T. (author), Knaack, U. (author)Given the very low renewal rate of the building stock, the efforts to reduce energy demand must focus on the existing residential buildings. Even though awareness has been raised, the effect on energy efficiency is often neglected during the design phase of refurbishment projects. This paper discusses an integrated approach to energy-efficiency...conference paper 2013

Kurvers, S.R. (author), Raue, A.K. (author), Van den Ham, E.R. (author), Leijten, J.L. (author), Juricic, S.M.M. (author)Often, when designing and operating buildings, the goal is to achieve low energy consumption as well as a healthy and comfortable indoor environment. Studies in the US and The Netherlands show a large discrepancy between the predicted and the actual energy consumption of buildings. Some buildings perform better than predicted, while other...conference paper 2013

Sokmenoglu, A. (author), Sonmez, N.O. (author)In this paper we explore the land-use patterns of a historical mixed-use quarter of Istanbul by focusing on the reciprocal relationships of housing and commercial uses. We are concerned with the distribution of land-use patterns based on spatial adjacency and land-use patterns within the buildings. We measure reciprocal relationships of housing...conference paper 2013

Bittermann, M. (author), Ciftcioglu, O. (author)Implications of design decisions are hard to oversee for designers. This is the case in particular with respect to decisions, which influence perception related qualities of designs. Such qualities are for example visual openness, visual privacy, and spatial intimacy. They are difficult to measure because of their subjective and soft nature....conference paper 2006

Gourdin, E. (author), Omic, J. (author), Van Mieghem, P. (author)The effect of virus spreading in a telecommunication network, where a certain curing strategy is deployed, can be captured by epidemic models. In the N-intertwined model proposed and studied in [1], [2], the probability of each node to be infected depends on the curing and infection rate of its neighbors. In this paper, we consider the case...conference paper 2011

Omic, J. (author), Orda, A. (author), Van Mieghem, P. (author)Security breaches and attacks are critical problems in today’s networking. A key-point is that the security of each host depends not only on the protection strategies it chooses to adopt but also on those chosen by other hosts in the network. The spread of Internet worms and viruses is only one example. This class of problems has two aspects....conference paper 2009

Mota, N.J.A. (author)Citizens’ participation in the design process has been discussed since the aftermath of World War II as an instrument to promote a more humanist approach to habitat. However, it has been also accused of fostering populist outcomes where the designer is merely the hand of the people, challenging the traditional limits of architecture’s...conference paper 2013
