Henkes, Casper (author)From formal hardware models to programming language implementations concurrency is everywhere. While there has been a lot of work done on verifying concurrent systems a large part of it is focused on SC. In practice, it is more common to encounter weak memory models for which the techniques developed for SC do not work. There exists previous...master thesis 2024

van Haaften, Steven (author)The focal point of this thesis lies within the state building situated on Bezuidenhoutseweg in The Hague. Having been inaugurated in 1985, the edifice functioned as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for approximately 35 years and, from 2021 onwards, as a temporary accommodation for the Dutch Parliament. This thesis, therefore, evaluates the...student report 2024
