van den Berg, Ruben (author)The pressure on water and energy resources, along with the transition towards new infrastructure, requires an integrated approach to achieve future-proof concepts. A nexus approach can contribute to this by including the interaction between water and energy. This is also known as a water-energy nexus (WEN). Furthermore, when considering...master thesis 2023

Nyessen, Nino (author)In an effort to increase the operational efficiency in the North Atlantic region, the benefits of a decentralized, wind-optimal routing structure are researched. Such a routing structure allows for direct routing by optimizing trajectories on the individual level. Implementing a tactical conflict detection and resolution method eliminates the...master thesis 2022

de Vos, M.A. (author), Ishmaev, G. (author), Pouwelse, J.A. (author)The landscape of electronic marketplaces has been monopolized by a handful of market operators that have accumulated tremendous power during the last decades. This trend raises concerns about fairness and market manipulation by these operators acting as gatekeepers. These concerns have recently been outlined in the EU Digital Markets Act (DMA...journal article 2022

Blanchini, Franco (author), Devia Pinzon, C.A. (author), Giordano, G. (author), Pesenti, Raffaele (author), Rosset, Francesca (author)We proposed network-decentralized control strategies, in which each actuator can exclusively rely on local information, without knowing the network topology and the external input, ensuring that the flow asymptotically converges to the optimal one with respect to the p -norm. For 1 < p < ∞ , the flow converges to a unique constant...journal article 2022

Setyowati, A.B. (author), Quist, J.N. (author)Transitioning to low carbon energy involves policies, institutions, and actors across different scales of governance. Indonesia's aspiration for a transition to low carbon energy is occurring in the dynamics of the re-scaling of environmental governance through decentralization processes. This article examines the interplays of actors at the...journal article 2022

Los, J. (author), Schulte, F. (author), Spaan, M.T.J. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)Collaboration in transportation is important to reduce costs and emissions, but carriers may have incentives to bid strategically in decentralized auction systems. We investigate what the effect of the auction strategy is on the possible cheating benefits in a dynamic context, such that we can recommend a method with lower chances for...conference paper 2022

Ramos, Guilherme (author), Aguiar, A. Pedro (author), Gonçalves Melo Pequito, S.D. (author)This paper provides an overview of the research conducted in the context of structural (or structured) systems. These are parametrized models used to assess and design system theoretical properties without considering a specific realization of the parameters (which could be uncertain or unknown). The research in structural systems led to a...journal article 2022

van Lieshout, R. N. (author), van den Akker, J. M. (author), Mendes Borges, R. (author), Druijf, T. (author), Quaglietta, E. (author)This paper analyzes the effectiveness of decentralized strategies for dispatching rolling stock and train drivers in a railway system. Such strategies give operators a robust alternative in case centralized control fails due to an abundance of infrastructure or rolling stock disruptions or information system malfunctions. We test the...journal article 2022
