First-past-the-post games (2012)
Book Chapter

Informally, a first-past-the-post game is a (probabilistic) game where the winner is the person who predicts the event that occurs first among a set of events. Examples of first-past-the-post games include so-called block and hidden patterns and the... Read More about First-past-the-post games.

Investigating the effectiveness of variance reduction techniques in manufacturing, call center and cross-docking discrete event simulation models (2012)
Book Chapter

Variance reduction techniques have been shown by others in the past to be a useful tool to reduce variance in Simulation studies. However, their application and success in the past has been mainly domain specific, with relatively little guidelines as...

The dendritic cell algorithm for intrusion detection (2012)
Book Chapter

As one of the solutions to intrusion detection problems, Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) have shown their advantages. Unlike genetic algorithms, there is no one archetypal AIS, instead there are four major paradigms. Among them, the Dendritic Cell Al...

Coo?peratie in spelshows (2012)
Book Chapter

In this chapter, we argue that game shows can be a useful source of data to study cooperative behavior. The unique combination of well-defined decision problems and large stakes makes game show data complementary to both experimental and field data.... Read More about Coo?peratie in spelshows.

Second-Order Modular Forms with Characters (2012)
Book Chapter

We introduce spaces of second-order modular forms for which the relevant action involves characters. We compute the dimensions of these spaces by constructing explicit bases.

The use of vignettes for conducting healthcare research (2012)
Book Chapter

Improving healthcare requires engaging with clinicians and patients in order to better understand their needs and expectations. Research methods that are used to conduct healthcare research are selected on the basis of study objectives and practicali... Read More about The use of vignettes for conducting healthcare research.

A beginner's guide to systems simulation in immunology (2012)
Book Chapter

Some common systems modelling and simulation approaches for immune problems are Monte Carlo simulations, system dynamics, discrete-event simulation and agent-based simulation. These methods, however, are still not widely adopted in immunology researc... Read More about A beginner's guide to systems simulation in immunology.
