van Heukelum, Harold (author)Why do engineers often design what people don't want? And why do people often want solutions that are not feasible? This is because the current design and decision support optimisation methodologies are one-sided and ignore or fail to capture the dynamic interaction between people's preferences (desirability) and technical assets' performance ...master thesis 2022

Wechsler, Olivia (author)Environmental sustainability has become an urgent matter on the Dutch political agenda, which will affect the built environment in the near future. Consequently, organizations have to adapt their real estate to new regulations for building performance and their own sustainability goals. The Preference-based Accommodation Strategy (PAS) is a...master thesis 2022

Zhilyaev, D. (author), Binnekamp, R. (author), Wolfert, A.R.M. (author)Within traditional design processes, decisions are often made based on individualistic values and late-stage assessments conducted on a predefined set of design alternatives potentially leading to suboptimal design decisions and conflicts. The issues are further amplified by the growing complexity of construction project management where an...journal article 2022

Bhatia, Satvik (author)The growing need for sustainability and circularity in the construction industry has given rise to the demand for proper sustainability valorisation and evaluation methods. Investors and project owners need sound rationale for their returns on investment made into sustainability – in financial, environmental and social benefits achieved....master thesis 2021

Dijkstra, Niels (author)Purpose – One of the long-standing issues in the field of real estate management is the alignment of demand and supply. When building retrofit is initiated to comply with changing demands, the decision-maker has to deal with several, often competing, criteria. Smart systems have the potential to contribute to the process of optimally attuning...master thesis 2018

Hernández, Carlos (author), Bermejo-Alonso, Julita (author), Sanz, Ricardo (author)Robot control software endows robots with advanced capabilities for autonomous operation, such as navigation, object recognition or manipulation, in unstructured and dynamic environments. However, there is a steady need for more robust operation, where robots should perform complex tasks by reliably exploiting these novel capabilities. Mission...journal article 2018

van Ingen, Joost (author)From 2019 onwards, airline pilots will be required to follow stall training in simulators. A major open research question is which level of model fidelity is required for effective training. As part of an effort to answer this question, a stall model of a Cessna Citation II aircraft is developed from specifically-gathered flight test data. The...master thesis 2017

Eisenbart, B. (author), Gericke, Kilian (author), Blessing, Lucienne T. M. (author), MCAloone, Timothy C. (author)Function modelling is proposed in the literature from different disciplines, in interdisciplinary approaches, and used in practice with the intention of facilitating system conceptualisation. However, function models across disciplines are largely diverse addressing different function modelling perspectives and using different structures and...journal article 2017

Khan, S.S. (author)Modular multilevel converters (MMC) are gradually becoming the technology of choice in high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power transmission for grid integration of large-scale offshore wind farms and multi-terminal HVDC transmission schemes. Each phase of an MMC HVDC terminal consists of several hundreds of identical submodules that switch a...master thesis 2016

In 't Hout, C.E. (author)As of yet, there are virtually no practical tools available for incorporating both developer and consumer preferences within a floorplan design. This study aims to deliver a proof of concept for such preference-based design systems, and their application within the commercial property development process. A research model is presented that is...master thesis 2016

Eisenbart, B. (author), Gericke, Kilian (author), Blessing, Lucienne T. M. (author)Interdisciplinary system development requires the integration of diverse expertise to combine different engineering technologies and—increasingly often—services, in order to provide users with expected value and desired functionality in newly developed products. Failure to achieve integration of disciplines can result in design errors posing a...journal article 2016

Sivapalan, M. (author), Yaeger, M.A. (author), Harman, C.J. (author), Xu, X. (author), Troch, P.A. (author)This paper presents analysis of annual water balance variability, (1) regional (between-catchment) variability and (2) between-year (interannual) variability and the symmetry between the two. This involved analysis of the annual water balance in terms of a two-stage partitioning, first, of annual precipitation into quick flow and soil wetting...journal article 2011

Van Eck, D. (author)In this paper, I discuss a methodology for the conversion of functional models between functional taxonomies developed by Kitamura et al. (2007) and Ookubo et al. (2007). They apply their methodology to the conversion of functional models described in terms of the Functional Basis taxonomy into functional models described in terms of the...journal article 2009

Van Dam, S. (author), Mulder, M. (author), Van Paassen, M.M. (author)In a free-flight airspace environment, pilots have more freedom to choose user-preferred trajectories. An onboard pilot support system is needed that exploits travel freedom while maintaining spatial separation with other traffic. Ecological interface design is used to design an interface tool that assists pilots with the tactical planning of...journal article 2008

(author)This work is aimed at establishing a common frame and understanding of function modeling (FM) for our ongoing research activities. A comparative review of the literature is performed to grasp the various FM approaches with their commonalities and differences. The relations of FM with the research fields of artificial intelligence, design theory,...journal article 2008

Van der Vegte, W.F. (author), Kitamura, Y. (author), Mizoguchi, R. (author), Horváth, I. (author)the function-behavior representation language FBRL was originally devised for modeling and knowledge management of intended product behavior. This paper explores its potential for application to other-than-intended behavior in a use context, introducing consideration of the user and the environment. We found that slightly adapted building blocks...conference paper 2002
