The Art of Iterating: Update-Strategies in Agent-Based Simulation (2017)
Conference Proceeding

When developing a model for an Agent-Based Simulation (ABS) it is very important to select the updatestrategy which reflects the semantics of the model as simulation results can vary vastly across different update-strategies. This awareness, we claim... Read More about The Art of Iterating: Update-Strategies in Agent-Based Simulation.

Retrofitting of ETFE roofs (2017)
Conference Proceeding

ETFE is one of the most stable chemical compounds and its films are largely employed in the building industry due to the very good long-term stability, resistance to soiling and high light transmittance. The mechanical strength is relatively good, es... Read More about Retrofitting of ETFE roofs.

Putting the Joy in Driving: Investigating the Use of a Joystick as an Alternative to Traditional Controls within Future Autonomous Vehicles (2017)
Conference Proceeding

Unencumbered by the need to provide permanent manual control, future autonomous vehicles may be absent of traditional driving elements, such as a steering wheel and foot-pedals. While this provides additional space/comfort for drivers, an alternative...
