Schmal, J.P. (author)Dynamic chemical process modelling is still largely considered an art. In this thesis the theory of large-scale chemical process modelling and validation is discussed and initial steps to extend the theory are explored. In particular we pay attention to the effect of the level of detail on the model simulation and optimisation performance. We...doctoral thesis 2014

Heidari, F. (author), Loucopoulos, P. (author), Brazier, F.M. (author)Business process modelling languages facilitate presentation, communication and analysis of business processes with different stakeholders. This paper proposes an approach that drives specification and measurement of quality requirements and in doing so relies on business process models as representations of business processes. The approach is...journal article 2013

Romero-Valle, M.A. (author), Pisaroni, M. (author), Van Puyvelde, D. (author), Lahaye, D.J.P. (author), Sadi, R. (author)Rotary kilns are used in many industrial processes ranging from cement manufacturing to waste incineration. The operating conditions vary widely depending on the process. While there are many models available within the literature and industry, the wide range of operating conditions justifies further modeling work to improve the understanding of...report 2013

Van de Haar, A.M. (author)One of the possibilities to reduce our carbon footprint is carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, whereby CO? is captured and kept for long-term storage in empty gas or oil fields. In this study the constraints and flexibility during transient operation of a post-combustion capture unit are assessed using an equilibrium-based dynamic model...master thesis 2013

Cifuentes, J. (author)The existence of a Business Model does not lead to a feasible business on its own. Business models need to be translated into Business Process Models. These Business Process models represent the operational structure by which a company is going to deliver the Business Model. In this Master Thesis we explore the alignment of these two models. We...master thesis 2012

Shahnoori, S. (author), Van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author)Modern architectural design may be generally appointed as complex. Hence, designing in an undefined domain within the field of architecture (e.g. From the urban to the building and down into the materialisation) is also a risky task. Hence, in some situation, such a design has to deal with one or more severe constraints, therefore such a design...conference paper 2011

Rust, I.J. (author)Business process simulation (BPS) provides the possibility to simulate and evaluate the dynamic behavior of business processes, without directly influencing or changing the processes. The main problem is that developing a simulation model is considered to be difficult, time-consuming and expensive. For management consulting companies, BPS could...master thesis 2011

Van der Marel, J.M. (author)The situation of two companies in a merger presents unique challenges to IT network integration, because both companies have an existing IT network. These networks might not be compatible and would need to be changed to be able to support the combined business process after the merger has taken place. Research on mergers and acquisitions has...master thesis 2011

Metz, L.J. (author)Because many errors still exist in information systems for organizations, professional companies like CEPO are needed for testing information systems on their fit to the organization. To do so, one usually applies a testing framework. The existing (CEPO-way) framework is the result of ten years of experience. The DEMO methodology (Dietz [1]) is...master thesis 2008
