In our professorship 'Learning Strategies' of the Fontys Secondary Teacher Training College Tilburg, we stress the importance of practitioner research for the professional development of teachers. To investigate our own beliefs, we started a project in which teachers learned to do practitioner research …

The authors investigate performance of sensor selection schemes in a target tracking scenario. In current NLDA research on air and surface picture compilation with a network of naval radar systems a sensor selection approach is based on the Particle Filter target tracking technique and a minimisation …

It is well-known that instead of changing course exactly at the edge, changing course when the sweep radius reaches the edge (i.e. changing course at distance R from the edge) generally yields higher probabilities of detection. In this article the authors shall investigate whether or not an even higher …

Information dominance and superiority and network centric warfare are terms that have become part of the lexicon associated with the transformation of the military force in the 21st century. Also well-known are the four tenets of network centric warfare: 1. Arobustly networked force improves information …

Military sensors are being used to create situational awareness. In a process of multi sensor data fusion, a sensor grid containing a multitude of similar and different sensor types contributes to the overall awareness by gathering and combining input data. Such data fusion has been applied in numerous …

Paper that summarises and to discuses trends in research on interceptor guidance laws for fast-flying and/or agile air targets. The authors will present an analysis of the implications of these trends on the missile performance and in particular the robustness of the end-game guidance in military operations. …

The authors discuss the need for a C4I architecture for the Netherlands armed forces and list the progress that has been made up to now. Several challenges are identified, such as unique real-time requirements, interoperability and agility and unique security requirements.

In this paper the authors describe the iTasks workflow system. The iTasks system is a software library written in the declarative programming language Clean, which allows for the highlevel specification of multi-user workflows. An important advantage of the iTasks system above commercially available …

Current macro-economic textbooks provide a fatally misleading description of the money supply process in modern economies. Over the past 20 years Post Keynesian authors have established conclusively that despite strictly-enforced cash reserve requirements, changes in the supply of bank deposits are not …

The Pictorial Representation of Illness and Self Measure (PRISM) assesses suffering. In this article, the authors explored the feasibility and psychometric qualities of 2 revised versions of the PRISM-PRISM-R1 and PRISM-R2-that they used in 3 studies of participants with different medical problems. The …
