This paper reports about preparatory work for future standardization that is carried out through an EU coordination and support action titled IM-SAFE. It focuses on applied digital technologies for monitoring and safety, including predictive maintenance of bridges and tunnels. Amidst the improved affordability …

The potential for Artificial Intelligence is widely proclaimed. Yet, in everyday educational settings the use of this technology is limited. Particularly, if we consider smart systems that actually interact with learners in a knowledgeable way and as such support the learning process. It illustrates …

Facility management has recently met several inflection points that call for new working methods; therefore, IFMA must foster and facilitate discussions to help set a new course for the industry. FM should build upon a history of innovation and use the field's complexity and multidisciplinarity to its …

Intercultural Virtual Collaboration (IVC) has been a growing field in recent decades as it allows students from different cultures to work together without having to move physically. Besides providing students with an authentic experience that they are going to encounter in their future professional …

Recently, we have introduced and modified graph-decomposition theorems based on a graph product motivated by applications in the context of synchronising periodic real-time processes. This vertex-removing synchronised product (VRSP) is based on modifications of the well-known Cartesian product and is …

My recently started Civic Prototyping research group aims to develop new tools and methods enabling urban residents to exploratively research and develop applications of new technologies. This allows them to improve their everyday lives by taking their own initiative in creating valuable services, products, …

“An Echo To Revive” reintroduces the idea of sports in the heart of the city of Varna, Bulgaria by making it an approachable and interesting subject within the public domain of the urban fabric. Positioned in a key location in the City centre, this intervention aims to connect three distinct areas which …

Anthropogenic climate change will worsen the environmental problems in European cities. With the main ones being floods, water scarcity and biodiversity decline. Furthermore, Europe’s climate will shift from its current temperate climate to a sub-tropic climate. One way to combat these problems is with …

The aim of this graduation thesis is to investigate the possible future replacement of colouring technology to reduce the environmental impact of selected non-operational workwear clothing used by employees of the Dutch Ministry of Defence. Recently, companies started implementing circular materials …

Recently, we have introduced and modified two graph-decomposition theorems based on a new graph product, motivated by applications in the context of synchronising periodic real-time processes. This vertex-removing synchronised product (VRSP), is based on modifications of the well-known Cartesian product …
