Spadini, D. (author), Calikli, Gul (author), Bacchelli, A. (author)In contemporary code review, the comments put by reviewers on a specific code change are immediately visible to the other reviewers involved. Could this visibility prime new reviewers' attention (due to the human's proneness to availability bias), thus biasing the code review outcome In this study, we investigate this topic by conducting a...conference paper 2020

Islam, Muhammad Nazrul (author), Bouwman, W.A.G.A. (author), Islam, A. K.M.Najmul (author)Computer interface signs, such as navigational links, thumbnails, small images, command buttons, symbols, icons, etc., which serve as communication artifacts between designers/systems and users, constitute an under-researched area. To design and evaluate intuitive interface signs, the Semiotic Interface Sign Design and Evaluation (SIDE)...journal article 2020

Guo, W. (author), Atasoy, B. (author), Beelaerts van Blokland, W.W.A. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)Hinterland intermodal transportation is the movement of containers between deep-sea ports and inland terminals by using trucks, trains, barges, or any combination of them. Synchromodal transportation, as an extension of intermodal transportation, refers to transport systems with dynamic updating of plans by incorporating real-time information...journal article 2020

Fazi, S. (author), Fransoo, Jan C. (author), Van Woensel, Tom (author), Dong, Jing Xin (author)In this paper, we will study a typical problem in inland container shipping, concerning the barge transportation of maritime containers between a dry port and a set of seaport terminals. The barges depart from the dry port and visit a set of sea terminals, where containers need either to be dropped off or picked up. The goal is to achieve...journal article 2020

Tilli, Federico (author)Wind turbine placement in a wind farm can be optimized to limit power losses due to wakes and improve the economic value of the plant. Seeing as wind farms are increasing in number and size, fast methods to generate good quality layouts can be beneficial for designers. Wind Farm Layout Optimization (WFLO) consists in finding a layout that...master thesis 2019

Sikkes, Louis (author)This thesis has researched the automation of performance evaluation of vehicle routing heuristics. The trade-off between solution quality, which is composed of multiple variables, and runtime make performance evaluation challenging. Therefore, it is often done by human experts. The research question of this thesis is: “How can we determine a...master thesis 2019

Hampsink, Joris (author)Scheduled aircraft maintenance consists of a set of work tasks to be executed. This thesis focuses on improving the order in which these work tasks are executed. Because finding an optimum for these kind of problems is computationally intensive, the chosen approach is of heuristic nature, which is a practical method resulting in close-to-optimal...master thesis 2019

Hu, Q. (author)This thesis discusses the connection between container terminals and the hinterland railway system. Mathematical models are proposed to formulate the various relevant operations and methods are developed to provide solutions to improve the system performance. This thesis could provide suggestions to decision maker(s) regarding to the improvement...doctoral thesis 2019

van Aken, Margot (author)We have tried to create a bin-packing algorithm that assigns items from a customer-order to totes such that the amount of totes is minimized. Analyzing the bin-packing algorithm that was used before this thesis had been written, taught us that xxx.xx% of the customer-orders was packed non optimal. In this thesis four algorithms are applied to...master thesis 2019

Hagenaars, Kay (author)The information security (IS) risk assessment process is an essential part to organisation's their protection of digital assets. However, the fast changing IS environment causes for limited knowledge of eventualities, dependencies and values of systems and phenomena. Consequently, the IS risk assessment process is depending on the judgment of...master thesis 2019

Mariot, Luca (author), Picek, S. (author), Leporati, Alberto (author), Jakobovic, Domagoj (author)Cellular Automata (CA) represent an interesting approach to design Substitution<br/>Boxes (S-boxes) having good cryptographic properties and low implementation costs. From the cryptographic perspective, up to now there have been only ad-hoc studies about specific kinds of CA, the best known example being the χ nonlinear transformation used in...journal article 2019

Sun, B. (author), van Kampen, E. (author)This paper proposes a novel adaptive dynamic programming method, called Incremental model-based Global Dual Heuristic Programming, to generate a self-learning adaptive controller, in the absence of sufficient prior knowledge of system dynamics. An incremental technique is employed for online model identification, instead of the artificial...journal article 2019

Krishnakumari, P.K. (author), Cats, O. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author)Graphs at different scales are essential tools for many transportation applications. Notwithstanding their relevance, these graphs are created and maintained manually for most applications, in both research and practice. In this paper, we develop a heuristic method for automatically generating multiscale graph representations without...journal article 2019
