Contribution to exhibition Qua Art - Qua Science. The artist Joost Verhagen represents spaces in an original way by using colours, texture and forms. He invokes thoughts and feelings with his works of art. The concept of ambient intelligence also deals with space, but especially with spaces that are …

Ymere and the city Almere will in the next ten years develop the residential area Almere Hout Noord. The ambitious targets of this area is a CO2 neutral and energy independent neighborhood with an EPC demand of 0,4. Because of the area's limitations an investigation into air source heat pumps was needed …

The Dutch greenhouse horticultural industry is characterized by world leadership in high-tech innovation. The dynamics of this playing field are innovation in production systems and automation, reduction in energy consumption and sharing limited space. However, international competitive advantage of …

Vanuit de wens om sneller prototypes te kunnen testen en ontwikkelen is een prototyping-board ontwikkeld voor SRON. Aan de ontwikkeling van het prototyping-board is een onderzoek naar de eisen en wensen van SRON vooraf gegaan, en is gekeken naar de mogelijkheden voor het eenvoudig kunnen aansluiten …

This paper frames the process of designing a level in a game as a series of model transformations. The transformations correspond to the application of particular design principles, such as the use of locks and keys to transform a linear mission into a branching space. It shows that by using rewrite …

Flexible production units provide very efficient mechanisms to adapt the type and production rate according to fluctuations in demand. The optimal sequence of the different manufacturing tasks in each machine is a challenging problem that can deal with important productivity benefits.
