Banerjee, I. (author)In a dynamic or disruptive situation, such as disasters, a fully mobile and decentralized infrastructure-less network seems to be a viable option for communication. Citizens are confronted with challenges such as complicated deployment of these networks, resource-constrained mobile phones and mobility. This requires communication networks to...doctoral thesis 2022

Banerjee, I. (author), Warnier, Martijn (author), Brazier, F.M. (author)This paper addresses the challenge of establishing a resilient disaster communication system that transitions seamlessly from a phone-based ad hoc network to any portable infrastructure and back. For this purpose, this paper presents a value-based design of an autonomous and self-organized protocol (SOS-hybrid). This design ensures seamless...journal article 2022

Chandrashekar, VIVEK (author)Intralogistics is a crucial part of the supply chain and is continuously influenced by the drivers such as globalisation, mass customisation, and shorter product life cycles. The challenges brought about by the pandemic have accelerated the ’shifting pattern’ towards automation in transport & logistics. With the push towards higher...master thesis 2021

van Leeuwen, C.J. (author)In this thesis I research the ability of groups of agents to organize their collective behavior, without any human intervention. Using a framework for gathering information of the behavior, analyzing the performance, and updating the behavior, the agents can adapt to changing environments or user requirements. In my thesis I use different...doctoral thesis 2021

Gavriilidou, A. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Yuan, Y. (author), Nes, N. van (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)In the pursuit of promoting cycling and providing better cycling infrastructure, its design is of great importance. One of the critical locations in a network are intersections, and specifically T-junctions, due to the inverted perception of priority. In this paper, we investigate the behaviour at T-junctions dedicated to cyclists and the effect...journal article 2021

van de Kamp, Carsten T. (author)We consider adaptive network models with discrete and continuous state sets obeying dynamical rules that enable application to swarming systems. The 2-state adaptive network contains a supercritical pitchfork bifurcation in the transition between ordered and disordered stationary solutions. We derive an adaptive network model that works on a...bachelor thesis 2019

Tempels Moreno Pessôa, I. (author)The rapid urban growth of Brazilian cities in the second half of the twentieth century produced an extremely unequal urban fabric with spatial discontinuities and left-over spaces. Spatial fragmentation in Brazilian metropolises is not only related to spatial discontinuities, but also to socioeconomic inequalities. Walls in Brazil are physical...doctoral thesis 2019

Tempels Moreno Pessôa, I. (author)While Brazilian metropolises are spatially fragmented, at the same time they have abundant bottom-up, spontaneous, self-organised initiatives that usually emerge as a response to weak or negligent public authorities. Both phenomena are influencing Brazilian metropolises, but we do not know how they influence each other. This paper aims to...journal article 2019

Vergara d'Alençon, L.M. (author)The development of self-organised neighbourhoods positions the residents at the centre of the process. They organise themselves to plan, densify and subsequently manage their dwellings collectively. This chapter focuses on defining the type of management that accompanies the housing densification in condominium tenure, and the challenges related...book chapter 2019

Czischke, D.K. (author), Huisman, C.J. (author)Since 2015, Europe has experienced an unprecedented influx of people fleeing countries facing political turmoil. Upon receiving asylum status, refugees in the Netherlands are currently regionally dispersed and individually housed in public housing. The municipality of Amsterdam has recently adopted an alternative approach, whereby young adult...journal article 2018

Janssen, Céline (author)The aim of this master thesis is to interrelate integration policies with self-organisation and to find ways for spatial planners to enlarge the role of self-organisation. The role of self-organisation for refugee integration is promising because it has a deep understanding of the spatial context and responds to the local needs. Research about...master thesis 2017

Kleinhans, R.J. (author), van Ham, M. (author)In many European countries, community-based entrepreneurship is increasingly considered as a means to initiate small-scale urban regeneration. However, residents in deprived neighbourhoods are often viewed to lack key entrepreneurial skills. Most research on community entrepreneurship support is based on cross-sectional studies and overly...journal article 2017

Czischke, D.K. (author)Many European countries are experiencing a recent (re)emergence of collaborative housing, such as co-housing, housing co-operatives and other forms of collective self-organised housing. One of the less studied aspects of these housing forms is the relationship between users (i.e. residents) and institutional actors and, in particular,...journal article 2017

Bak, M.J. (author)Digital platforms have worldwide transformed the way citizens organise themselves to address public issues, resulting in social citizen platforms that affect traditional forms of public service delivery. Simultaneously, governments seek a smaller, partner-level role in public service delivery. Governments therefore both have an interest in...master thesis 2016

Donoso-gomez, R.E. (author), Elsinga, M.G. (author)Governments in urbanising Latin America encourage low-income homeownership. In practice, this means that low-income urban families become owners of units in condominium properties. While the homeownership dream may thus be achieved, difficulties with maintenance can lead to deterioration. This paper considers condominiums as collective action...journal article 2016

Pruteanu, A.S. (author)Software applications developed for large-scale systems have always been difficult to de- velop due to problems caused by the large number of computing devices involved. Above a certain network size (roughly one hundred), necessary services such as code updating, topol- ogy discovery and data dissemination are challenging to operate and thus...doctoral thesis 2013

Yang, Z. (author)In many public places multiple sensing devices, such as cameras, are installed to help prevent unwanted situations such as aggression and violence. At the moment, the best solution to reach a safe environment requires human operators to monitor the camera images and take appropriate actions when necessary. In the wake of the terrorist attacks of...doctoral thesis 2009

Van der Kooij, P.C. (author)A design was made for the Calve/DSM site in Delft. It is a factory site which is being abandoned by its users, leaving 16 ha to be developed in the coming future. The aim is to develop a socially sustainable creative district through means of self-organisation. The project is restricted to the borders of the design location and takes the open...master thesis 2009
