Call me Ishmael: Using Dynamic Analysis to Hunt Whales on the Internet

Docker has been one of the most widely used DevOps tools in the last decade, enabling fast development of personalized services. Indeed, the common practice is to reuse already available containers and customize them based on the developer's needs. DockerHub is the leading platform for uploading and downloading Docker containers. Unfortunately,...

New method to measure dune erosion processes using a mobile, contained environment on a real beach

The Netherlands has 254 km of coastline that is covered with sandy dunes. As these dunes function as primary flood defences, intensive research has been conducted into dune erosion in recent years. This research mainly took place in laboratories, because all boundary conditions could be controlled and measurements could take place very...

A Study of Performance and Security Across the Virtualization Spectrum

Virtualization is the fundamental technology that enabled the widespread adoption of cloud computing. With the ever-increasing pervasiveness of the cloud computing paradigm, strong isolation guarantees and low performance overhead from isolation platforms are paramount. An ideal isolation platform offers both: an infallible isolation boundary...

A Tool for Estimating Marine Terminal Dimensions and Costs in a Project’s Feasibility Phase: Taking into account uncertainties

The main objective of this study is the realisation of a computer tool. The function of the tool is to estimate the required dimensions and quantities of essential container, dry and liquid bulk terminal elements, in an early design phase. As well as to give an estimate of the construction costs of these marine terminals. Terminal element...

Evaluation of a Lightweight Composite Bottom Plate for Air Cargo Containers

Air cargo containers are used to load luggage, freight, and mail on aircraft. They allow a large quantity of cargo to be bundled into a single unit. This study aims to investigate the replacement of the current 14,1kg aluminium floor with a 40% lighter composite in Nordisk containers. The result of these weight savings are yearly cost reductions...

A Simio simulation model for the evaluation of Inter Terminal Transport systems at Maasvlakte 1 and 2 in 2030

The Maasvlakte port area in Rotterdam is located in the Netherlands. There are 14 container terminals and empty container depots located within this area, some are existing and some will be built in the near future. At container terminals containers are being transhipped between different modalities. At empty container depots, empty containers...

Effects of global long term scenarios on container throughput in the port of Rotterdam: A worldwide modelling approach

In the past decades there has been a steep increase in global trade. The current crises however emphasize that trends can change quickly and have a lasting effect on the economy. Due to their large, long term investments, ports in particular need a good understanding of the future state of transport and logistics systems. Scenario based modeling...

Simulatie model container transport Rotterdam-Antwerpen

In dit verslag wordt een model beschreven voor het transport van containers tussen het havengebied van Rotterdam en Antwerpen. Het transport wordt hierbij gerealiseerd door een shuttle systeem bestaande uit duwboten en bakken. Het-model is geschreven in de simulatietaal PROSIM waarbij gebruik is gemaakt van een personal computer. Het model is...
