Groenewegen, D.M. (author)Information systems store and organize data, and manage business processes concerned with that data. Information systems aim to support operations, management and decision-making in organizations. Web applications are ideal for implementing information systems. Although existing web frameworks provide abstractions for creating web applications,...doctoral thesis 2023

Roosen, M.A. (author)In the design process of prestressed bridges and viaducts, the required amount of shear reinforcement is determined with a model that assumes the presence of flexural cracks. In order to keep the design process simple, this model is also prescribed to determine the amount of shear reinforcement for the regions of the structure in which, at the...doctoral thesis 2021

van den Brink, L.E. (author)Geospatial data is an increasingly important information asset for decisionmaking, from simple every day decisions like where to park your car, to national and international policy on topics like infrastructure and environment.<br/>Because of the location aspect, geospatial data is often the linking pin between different datasets and therefore...doctoral thesis 2018

Keenaghan, G.N. (author)The conceptual framework of the proposed novel system was to provide a stimulating learning experience for dislocated digital learners, who are seen as individuals with different perceptions and expectations. In addition to functionally integrate technological, cognitive and social enablers, the system was required to encapsulate what can be...doctoral thesis 2018

Rahimi, E. (author)The purpose of our research was to develop a PLE (personal learning environment) design framework for workplace settings. By doing such, the research has answered this research question, how should a technology-based personal learning environment be designed, aiming at supporting learners to gain control over their learning at the workplace? We...doctoral thesis 2015

Abspoel, R. (author)In many steel structures like buildings, industrial halls and bridges, standardized hot-rolled sections are used. These sections are divided into specific types in Europe and similar profiles in the USA. The range of hot-rolled sections is limited and therefore fabricated plate girders are used when the standard hot-rolled sections do not meet...doctoral thesis 2015

Kofler, C. (author)Over the recent years, user expectations of the ability of video search engines have significantly risen. Users expect video search engines to be useful as an instrument that facilitates communication, education, entertainment and problem solving and, in relation to this, to satisfy diverse information needs. A user's information need is the...doctoral thesis 2015

Espinha, T. (author)At an implementation level, web services serve the basic purpose of message exchange between potentially heterogeneous software systems. Through abstracting language- and platform-specific implementations into text-based, human-readable XML and JSON-based formats, different software systems are able to execute procedures and retrieve data from...doctoral thesis 2015

Tao, K. (author)In the past decade, the Social Web has evolved into both an essential channel for people to exchange information and a new type of mass media. The immense amount of data produced presents new possibilities and challenges: algorithms and technologies need to be developed to extract and infer useful information from the Social Web. One of the main...doctoral thesis 2014

Zhu, X. (author)Computer graphics and scientific visualization are fields of computational science that have evolved rapidly over the past decades. Scientific visualization has become an important technology in serious gaming and science-based decision support. Water management is a complex process dealing with a wide range of, often conflicting, considerations...doctoral thesis 2013

Gao, Q. (author)Microblogging has become a popular mechanism for people to publish, share, and propagate information on the Web. The massive amount of digital traces that people have left in the microblogging sphere, creates new possibilities and poses challenges for user modeling and personalization. How can microblogging activities be exploited to infer...doctoral thesis 2013

Davis, C.B. (author)The Web is radically changing the ways in which we can collectively compile, curate, filter and make sense of information. This holds promise for embracing complexity and truly informed decisions for sustainability in a connected world. In this book, Chris Davis reveals that there exists tremendous untapped potential of the Web, of Open Data,...doctoral thesis 2012

Hemel, Z. (author)Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) are programming language aimed at a particular problem domain, e.g. banking, database querying or website page lay-outs. Through the use of high-level concepts, a DSL raises the level of abstraction and expressive power of the programmer, and reduces the size of programs. This dissertation covers various aspects...doctoral thesis 2012

Haydarlou, A.R. (author)The growing complexity of distributed systems makes their management a challenge. Manual management of these systems is costly and time consuming. Autonomic computing has been proposed to reduce the cost of maintaining complex systems by developing computer systems capable of self-management. A self-managed system consists of multiple autonomic...doctoral thesis 2011
