Recommenders play a significant role in our daily lives, making decisions for users on a regular basis. Their widespread adoption necessitates a thorough examination of how users interact with recommenders and the algorithms that drive them. An important form of interaction in these systems are algorithmic …

This paper presents data-driven insights from a case study that was carried out in an University EV charging plaza where EV charging demand is met with the combination of the University campus grid and installed solar capacity. First, we assessed the plaza dependency on the grid for meeting EV charging …

Data-driven condition-based maintenance (CBM) and predictive maintenance (PdM) strategies have emerged over recent years and aim at minimizing the aviation maintenance costs and environmental impact by the diagnosis and prognosis of aircraft systems. As the use of data and relevant algorithms is essential …

Social networks and news outlets use recommender systems to distribute information and suggest news to their users. These algorithms are an attractive solution to deal with the massive amount of content on the web [6]. However, some organisations prioritise retention and maximisation of the number of …

We are currently in the middle of the transformation from Martin Heidegger’s modern society to a society based on digital technology. In the developing digital society, humans in their current state of ‘Being’ are increasingly surrounded by systems that are networked and run based on algorithms, software, …

Algorithmic curation is a helpful solution for the massive amount of content on the web. The term is used to describe how platforms automate the recommendation of content to users. News outlets, social networks and search engines widely use recommendation systems. Such automation has led to worries about …

''Ever increasing population in seismically active urban areas, aging building stock, and expansion of urbanization to previously agricultural lands with soft soil deposits render the protection of human lives against earthquake disasters extremely more difficult by the time. Although much effort is …

Summary: A novel Smart Charging strategy, based on low base allowances per charger combined with 1. clustering of chargers on the same part of the grid and 2. dynamic non guaranteed allowance, is presented in this paper. This manner of Smart Charging will allow more than 3 times the amount of chargers …

Data, the raw material from which information is derived, is stored, copied, moved and modified more easily than ever. This quantum leap reaches levels outside our imagination. Surrounded by sensors, recommendation systems, invisible algorithms, spreadsheets and blockchains, the ‘difference that makes …

The flexible strain sensors have been a topic of interest for multiple studies in the past years. These sensors are soft, bendable mechanisms, which can be applied to substrates through printing or other means. They can indicate longitudinal strain through resistance change, which means that they can …
