de Graaf, Daan (author)Graph databases are systems to efficiently store and query large graphs. As graph databases grow in popularity, they are used to answer increasingly diverse and complex queries. However, graph databases typically have a very limited query language that cannot express arbitrary algorithms. As a result, many users treat the database as a storage...master thesis 2023

Schutte, Marcus (author)Today's need for highly available systems leads to data partitioning and replication across multiple nodes. Providing strong transactional consistency in a distributed database requires extensive communication. For this, algorithms such as two phase commit are used. These communication algorithms add extra network latency's. For application...master thesis 2023

Gavalas, Nikos (author)The adoption of the serverless architecture and the Function-as-a-Service model has significantly increased in recent years, with more enterprises migrating their software and hardware to the cloud. However, most applications require state management, leading to the use of external databases. To alleviate the burden of state management, there...master thesis 2023

Qiu, Jingxuan (author)Distributed databases often struggle to fulfill their transactional isolation guarantees due to sharding and replication. As a result, the problem of checking isolation levels is consistently receiving attention from academia and industries. Transactional dependency graphs form a useful abstraction to analyze the transactions’ dependencies and...master thesis 2023

Mbwanda, Tendai (author)Diversity in the use cases of semantic 3D city models today is unprecedented. A key enabler for this is the CityGML standard developed by the OGC to facilitate storing and exchanging these city models. Nevertheless, CityGML only provides object definitions which cater for a wide range of applications, making necessary the need to attach...master thesis 2023

Rodriguez, Mario (author)Using renewable energy to power a Mars habitat is a technological challenge because resources such as solar and wind are significantly weaker than on Earth. This work investigates the feasibility of using airborne wind energy (AWE) systems in combination with solar photovoltaic (PV) modules to power a Mars habitat. The Luchsinger model and the...master thesis 2022

Stevers, Vera (author)In the Netherlands, the coastal dunes are essential to protect the country against flooding. However, the rising sea levels increase the risk of flooding along these sandy shores. Moreover, due to a combination of human and natural activities, dune erosion has increased and will continue to do so in the coming decades. Besides flood protection,...master thesis 2021

Breurkes, Arthur (author)Database entity type recognition is the practice of recognizing conceptual entity types for which given data sets contain data. In big data or data lake settings, it is not always known which conceptual entity types are represented in each data set, making it difficult to extract value from the data. Depending on the logical schemas, each...master thesis 2021

Mohamedhoesein, Majid (author)Recently machine learning (ML) has become increasingly popular, and has been shown to be a powerful predictive technique. The applications of ML cover a wide range of disciplines, including the natural sciences. Presently, the field of catalysis is still relatively unexposed to ML and other data-driven techniques. This can largely be attributed...master thesis 2021
